: Madame Kristeva is more and more often invited to speak
: about art. In these instances she projects a lot of her
: psychoanalytical theory in an almost trival way onto the
: arts and her audience that is more or less excited.
: Unfortunately, it doesn't go beyond a rather banal and
: common sense oriented understanding of the arts in which
: she sees not much more than the expression of beauty or the
: emanation of the new "maladies de l'âme": psychosis and
: autism.
well, this is a general tendency I observe everywhere...
