Klappentext zu „Head Cases “
While philosophy and psychoanalysis privilege language and conceptual distinctions and mistrust the image, the philosopher and psychoanalyst Julia Kristeva recognizes the power of art and the imagination to unblock important sources of meaning. She also appreciates the process through which creative acts counteract and transform feelings of violence and depression. Reviewing Kristevas corpus, Elaine P. Miller considers the intellectuals aesthetic idea and thought specular in their capacity to reshape depressive thought on both the individual and cultural level. She revisits Kristevas reading of Walter Benjamin with reference to melancholic art and the imaginations allegorical structure; her analysis of Byzantine iconoclasm in relation to Freuds psychoanalytic theory of negation and Hegels dialectical negativity; her understanding of Proust as an exemplary practitioner of sublimation; her rereading of Kant and Arendt in terms of art as an intentional lingering with foreignness; and her argument that forgiveness is both a philosophical and psychoanalytic method of transcending a stuck existence.

Rezension zu „Head Cases “
Deftly moving through Kristeva's corpus, Miller brilliantly stages engagements between Kristeva's thought and that of Adorno, Arendt, Augustine, Benjamin, Freud, Green, Hegel, Kant, Klein, Lacan, and Proust, among others. Her analysis also sheds light on some of Kristeva's most intractable concepts, including negativity, the uncanny, time, the semiotic, mimesis, art, the aesthetic, among others. Head Cases is filled with keen insights, rigorous scholarship, and beautiful prose. -- Kelly Oliver, Vanderbilt University By drawing on both the history of philosophical aesthetics and psychoanalysis, Head Cases makes an important contribution to contemporary aesthetic theory and Kristeva studies. As a Kristeva scholar who is also interested in aesthetics, I am very pleased to say that this is simply the best book that combines both of these fields. -- Ewa Plonowska Ziarek, author of Feminist Aesthetics and the Politics of Modernism (Columbia, 2012)
