It begins with Julia Kristeva's attempts to connect Hegelian thought with a psychoanalytically informed semiotics, as explored in her influential study, The Revolution of Poetic Language, and later modified in subsequent works that further develop semiotics in novel directions. Kristeva's agreements and disagreements with Hegel are crucial to the book's argument, which ultimately defends Hegel against common poststructuralist criticisms. However, the book's conceptual argument necessitates a historical exposition, with chapters dedicated to various literary figures, including Spenser and Ishiguro. One of the primary objectives of the book is to demonstrate that Hegel's contributions to modern thought are evident in the history of literature, thereby corroborating some of the profound insights of psychoanalysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 330g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 227 x 152 x 17 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781538179888\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William D., Professor of English and Comparative Literature, American University in Cai Melaney","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":47425592787194,"sku":"9781538179888","price":34.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1750436957657_book_d1271f0d-25e8-4b6c-bc84-4e7512843608.jpg?v=1750528207","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/figural-space-semiotics-and-the-aesthetic-imaginary-9781538179888","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
