This Pivot studies the influence of Julia Kristevas work on American literary and film studies. Chapters consider this influence via such innovative approaches as Hortense Spillerss and Jack Halberstams to Paule Marshalls fiction and Bram Stokers Dracula, respectively. The book also considers how critics in the United States receive Kristevas work on French feminism, semiotics, and psychoanalytic writing in complex, controversial ways, especially on the question of marginalized populations. Examples include Kelly Oliver and Benigno Trigo on Orson Welless The Lady from Shanghai and Touch of Evil as well as Frances Restuccia on David Lynchs Mulholland Drive. Carol Mastrangelo Bov also examines Kristevas take on the US in her essays and fiction, which provide a vital part of the dialogue with American critics.Like them, Bov incorporates Kristevas thought in her own creative readings of littleknown authors and directors including Christiane Rochefort, Nancy Savoca, and Frank Lentricchia.
