About

Intimate Revolt Synopsis

Julia Kristeva, herself a product of the famous May 1968 Paris student uprising, has long been fascinated by the concepts of rebellion and revolution. But is it still possible to build and nurture a culture of revolt in today's world? In this book, Kristeva examines the manner in which three of the most unsettling modern writers-Louis Aragon, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Roland Barthes-affirmed their personal rebellions.

She then ponders the future of rebellion, maintaining not only that political revolt is mired in compromise but also that an essential component of European culture-a culture of doubt and criticism-is losing its moral and aesthetic force.
