Desire in Language traces the path of an investigation, extending
over a period of ten years, into the semiotics of literature and
the arts. But the essays of Julia Kristeva in this volume, though
they often deal with literature and art, do not amount to either
"literary criticism" or "art criticism." Their concern, writes
Kristeva, "remains intratheoretical: they are based on art and
literature in order to subvert the very theoretical, philosophical,
or semiological apparatus." Probing beyond the discoveries of
Sigmund Freud, Jacques Lacan, Roman Jakobson and others, Julia
Kristeva proposes and tests theories centered on the nature and
development of the novel, and on what she has defined as a
signifying practice in poetic language and pictural works. Desire
in Language fully shows what Roman Jakobson has called Kristeva's
"genuine gift of questioning generally adopted 'axioms,' and her
contrary gift of releasing various 'damned questions' from their
traditional question marks."
