Emilia Angelova – författare

Revisits Julia Kristeva's magnum opus on the fiftieth anniversary of its original publication to open up new paths of interdisciplinary inquiry.In her 1974 Revolution in Poetic Language, Julia Kristeva resisted the abstract use of language, with its aim of totalization and finality, in all its colonizing and alienating forms. A major thinker and critic, Kristeva reappropriated Hegel's concepts of desire and negativity, in conjunction with the thought of Heidegger, Arendt, Freud, and Lacan, to revolt against modernity's culture of nihilism and the West's inability to deal with loss. This collection celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of Revolution in Poetic Language by revisiting Kristeva's oeuvre and establishing exciting new directions in Kristeva studies. Engaging with queer and transgender studies, disability studies, decolonial studies, and more, renowned and rising scholars plot continuities in-and push the boundaries of-Kristeva's thinking about loss, revolution, and revolt. The volume also includes two essays by Kristeva, translated into English for the first time here-"The Impossibility of Loss" (1988) and "Of What Use Are Poets in Times of Distress?" (2016).

The Necessity of Freedom in Hegel's Turn Between Logic and History explores Hegel’s claim that freedom is not just an abstract ideal but a necessary foundation for philosophy itself. This collection of essays examines how Hegel’s system connects logic, history, and rationality, shaping the meaning of historical development through the actualization of conceptual necessity.Hegel’s philosophical position is unique in the tradition of German idealism in its insistence that freedom is a necessity that permeates and grounds philosophy as a system. The contributions in this collection, as a result, work in the intersections between the philosophy of right, logic, phenomenology, history, and aesthetics to demonstrate this realization. Bringing together leading scholars, this volume investigates key dimensions of Hegel’s thought: Stephen Houlgate, Michael Quante, and Angelica Nuzzo on the philosophy of right; Iain Macdonald and Nahum Brown on the science of logic; Alberto Siani, Jennifer Bates, and Jim Vernon on the phenomenology of spirit; Jeffrey Reid and Timothy Brownlee on the philosophy of history and aesthetics; and John McCumber, Ian Balfour, and Rebecca Comay on Hegel and the French Revolution.Through close textual analysis, this volume illuminates how Hegel’s dialectic rejects atomistic individualism, instead emphasizing the subject’s role in actualizing political rationality. This collection offers fresh insights into Hegel’s enduring relevance in philosophy, history, and political thought.
