Description de l'ouvrage :
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 Bové 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, Bové incorporates Kristeva’s thought in her own creative readings of little-known authors and directors including Christiane Rochefort, Nancy Savoca, and Frank Lentricchia.

Revue de Presse :
"Carol Bove’s Kristeva's Literary Reception in America: Re-Imagining the Exceptional is a work of great critical importance. In it, she explores the relationships between Kristeva’s work and the experiences of marginalized populations: African American, immigrant, woman as mother. At this particular moment, readers need to grapple with these complex relationships. Bove also explores American’s political identity and structural composition in light of Kristeva’s work, reinforcing the relationships between the psychoanalytic, semiotic, and political identities of both an individual and a nation." (Gina MacKenzie, Associate Dean, School of Arts and Sciences, and Associate Professor of English at Holy Family University, USA)
"The influence of Kristeva’s writings on scholars of film and literature looms large, but rarely has it been analyzed in any depth. In this book, Carol Mastrangelo Bové provides a compelling and nuanced account of the waythat Kristeva’s ideas, and her words, have shaped generations of critics and theorists. A vital resource for scholars of literature and film, Bové also provides original readings of key texts and concepts―not least Kristeva’s own fiction―that shows the reach and power of Kristeva’s thought." (Daniel Morgan, Chair of Cinema and Media Studies, University of Chicago, USA)
"Carol Mastrangelo Bové braids together two strands of reflection in Kristeva in America. The first is a survey of Kristeva’s reception and use by US literary and cultural critics, including Hortense Spillers, Kelly Oliver, Benigno Trigo, and Jack Halberstam, among others. The second is an analysis of selected works of Kristeva herself that bear on the question of the psychic life of power in the United States. Given the rise of the so-called culture wars and their current political consequences in our country, Bové’s contribution is especially pertinent and timely." (John Beverley, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Hispanic Languages and Literatures. University of Pittsburgh, USA)
