L’écriture limite: Kristeva's Postmodern Feminist Ethics

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  11 March 2020

Abstract

In this essay, I trace the development of Julia Kristeva's theory and practice of “the subject in procession trial” from her semiotic works of the 1960s to her psychoanalytic writings of the 1970s and 1980s. I read Kristeva's exploration of this “subject in procession trial” as contributing to a postmodern feminist ethics.
