This Pivot studies the influence of Julia Kristeva's work on
American literary and film studies. Chapters consider this
influence via such innovative approaches as Hortense Spillers's and
Jack Halberstam's to Paule Marshall's fiction and Bram Stoker's
Dracula, respectively. The book also considers how critics in the
United States receive Kristeva's work on French feminism,
semiotics, and psychoanalytic writing in complex, controversial
ways, especially on the question of marginalized populations.
Examples include Kelly Oliver and Benigno Trigo on Orson Welles's
The Lady from Shanghai and Touch of Evil as well as Frances
Restuccia on David Lynch's Mulholland Drive. Carol Mastrangelo Bove
also examines Kristeva's take on the US in her essays and fiction,
which provide a vital part of the dialogue with American critics.
Like them, Bove incorporates Kristeva's thought in her own creative
readings of little-known authors and directors including Christiane
Rochefort, Nancy Savoca, and Frank Lentricchia.
