Abstract

Julia Kristeva and Gilles Deleuze, two key figures of French post-structuralism, developed paradigms of literary theory that revolve around a certain idea of subversion. Interestingly, both authors illustrate the subversive impact of modern literature with a view to a psychoanalytic reading of sexual “perversions”: Whereas Kristeva stresses the paradigm of fetishism, Deleuze underscores the subversive core of masochism. Kristeva's position is elucidated by way of James Joyce and Georges Bataille, that of Deleuze with Elias Canetti and Franz Kafka.
