Book Review: Kristeva Reframed

Kristeva Reframed examines key ideas in Julia Kristeva’s work to show how they are most relevant to students and artists, and how they can be applied in interpreting artworks. With examples from the paintings of Van Gogh and Picasso, the work of contemporary feminist painters, the photography of Bill Henson and the film and animation work of Van Sowerine, Estelle Barrett demonstrates how Kristeva can illuminate the relationship between art and knowledge. Alasia Nuti finds most interesting the chapter on Kristeva’s relationship with feminism and art.
