Summary: Hatred and Forgiveness is a collection of lectures and essays by Julia Kristeva gathered in six parts: Worlds, Women, Psychoanalyzing, Religion, Portraits, and Writing. These provocative texts span themes, topics and figures central to Kristeva's writing over the last three decades. Here, she returns to many of her most significant contributions to contemporary thought, and rearticulates and extends her analysis of language, abjection, sublimation, idealization, literature, art, religion, female sexuality, love, and forgiveness, among others. Engaging with figures such as Teresa of Avila, Freud, Proust, Colette, Beauvoir, Aargon, and others, Kristeva weaves a rich textual fabric of philosophy, psychoanalysis and literary analysis.
