«Le Génie féminin. Tome II. Mélanie Klein» is the essay by Julia Kristeva, published by Fayard in paperback (446 pages, in French).
Second volume of Kristeva's project on female genius, devoted to Melanie Klein (1882-1960). Klein integrated the maternal function against Freud and was the first to think matricide. Her idea of the child bound to the mother from birth and driven by violent and reparative fantasies opened new paths for psychosis and autism.
Second volume of the series «Le génie féminin», preceded by the one devoted to Hannah Arendt and followed by that on Colette.
Work of interest to readers of psychoanalysis, gender studies and the history of ideas.
