2. Revolution and Poetic Language
Kristeva's thesis for her Doctorat d'Etat
Intertextuality: To the two processes Freud identified as being at work in the unconscious, displacement and condensation, Kristeva added a third process, "the passage from one sign system to another."
The thetic phase of language is altered, involving the destruction of an old system and the forming of a new one. The new system may use the same or different signifying materials, as in the "carnivalesque" as described by Bakhtin.
The novel particularly exhibited the potential for embodying a "redistribution" of several different sign systems.
"Intertextuality," then, is a specific type of coextension in which a variety of diverse meanings overlap; it refers to the transposition of one or more sign systems into another or a "field" of transpositions of many signifying systems. The novel provides a particularly good space for this phenomenon to occur.

3. Kristeva Glossary
semiotic - the science of signs (that which creates the need for symbolic),cyclical through time, pre-Oedipal, and creates unrepressed writing. Exists in children before language acquisition and has significance.
symbolic - the domain of position and judgment, chronologically follows semiotic (post-Oedipal), is the establishment of a sign system.
semanalysis - word coined by Kristeva to differentiate her type of linguistic analysis which is a dissolving of the sign through critical analysis that stresses the heterogeneity of language.
intertextuality - used to designate the transposition of one or more systems of signs on to another which is accompanied by a new enunciative and denotative position.
jouissance - total joy or ecstacy achieved through the working of the signifier implying the presence of meaning.
other - what exists as opposite of, or excluded by, something else.
Other - a hypothetical space or place which is that of the pure signifier, rather than a physical entity.
chora - a Platonic term for a matrix-like space that is nourishing, unnameable, and prior to the individual. Chora becomes the focus of the semiotic as the 'pre-symbolic.'
