2 volumes in Tel Quel 37 & 38. Paris: Tel Quel, 1969, [Kristeva's articles appears on pp. 34-73 and 55-81 respectively], Quartos. First Editions. Here, Kristeva introduces her theory of the "dynamized" text: a text that remains malleable and manipulable by toying with the formulation of the signifier. Continuing the project outlined in her dissertation, La Révolution du langage poétique, she argues that the formulation of the signifier as it appears in the text can become a political act. To support her argument, Kristeva describes levels of the text: the level of the pheno-text, or the signifier's appearance (as split from its meaning), and the level of the geno-text, or the register of cultural interpretation. In doing so, Kristeva aims to open up the ways in which the signifier can by manipulated by the author and reader of the text, a manipulation that may provide inspiration for other forms of political thought. Mild wear to edges, the front cover of #38 is slightly bent at bottom corner. Otherwise, minimal signs of wear. A lovely set. ADDITIONAL PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
