Freud and psychoanalysis taught us that rebellion is what guarantees our independence and our creative abilities. But in the contemporary "entertainment" culture, is rebellion still a viable option? Is it still possible to build and embrace a counterculture? For whom--and against what?
Julia Kristeva illustrates the advances and impasses of rebel culture through the experiences of three twentieth-century writers: the existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre, the surrealist Louis Aragon, and the theorist Roland Barthes. These figures, according to Kristeva, took part in a revolution against accepted notions of identity--of one's relation to others. She places their accomplishments in the context of other revolutionary movements in art, literature, and politics, also offering an illuminating discussion of Freud's groundbreaking work on rebellion.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Columbia University PressISBN-13:9780231216746ISBN-10:231216742UPC:9780231216746Book Category:Literary Criticism, Philosophy, PsychologyBook Subcategory:European, Movements, PsychotherapyBook Topic:French, Existentialism, PsychoanalysisSize:8.50 x 5.50 x 0.72 inchesWeight:0.9Product ID:SCW46T3QXF
