Communication and ‘revolt’ by Bert Olivier

“…Kristeva points the way to a creative enlivening of individuals’ lives, as well as of society at large, through her passionate elaboration on the potential for ‘revolution’ in language and communication, and also her development of the notion of ‘revolt’ as a legacy of Western culture – a legacy which is under threat in the present ‘culture of the spectacle’. …”

Exhibiting the West at the Paris Exposition of 1867: Towards a New American Aesthetic Identity? by François Brunet, Jessica Talley
