  Beginning with Egyptian hieroglyphics and Mayan and Phoenician writings, the Hebrew Bible and Classical Greek culture, and continuing to the Prague School of Structuralism, Julia Kristeva provides an introduction to the history of graphic cultures, philosophy, anthropology and semiotics. In a series of carefully documented analyses informed by Levi-Strauss, Barthes, Derrida, Freud and Lacan, Kristeva describes the history of thought as a phenomenon that links philosophical speculation to linguistic practice.
