Abstract

This is a review of Emilia Angelova’s edited volume “Revolution in Poetic Language” Fifty Years Later: New
Directions in Kristeva Studies. The volume commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of Kristeva’s magnum opus and explores whether the text, first published in 1974, retains its relevance when transposed to differing social, historical, or cultural contexts. The review discusses the various forms of this transposition as presented in the volume, offering insight into contemporary approaches within Kristeva studies.
