Kristeva – Derrida – Sollers: A Strange Ménage à Trois

One of the events less known in the history of literary theory and philosophy is the relationship between Kristeva, Derrida and Sollers, a relationship that was the key for the development of deconstruction and poststructuralism. In my speech I will focus the contribution of Kristeva's theories to the formation of the future of literary theory and thought, also the differences and nuances of her concepts, specially the importance of a concept like "genotext".
