Gambaudo argues that while Kristeva's position might be construed as defensive and a reactive clinging on to paternal modes of organisation of subjectivity, it also offers a unique and visionary analysis of subjectivity that rescues the paternal project from its decline. Eschewing a traditional emphasis on Kristeva's feminism, this book's primary interest is located at the intersection between psychoanalysis and culture, specifically analysing the superseding of Oedipus by narcissistic organisation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46890231365783,"sku":"9780754655619","price":20375.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780754655619.webp?v=1770268448","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/kristeva-psychoanalysis-and-culture-subjectivity-in-crisis-9780754655619","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
