Summary, keywords and biography:

The aim of this paper is to clarify a part of the relationship between Kristeva and Sartre, which so far has rarely been discussed. At first glance, there seems to be no point of contact between the post-structuralist from Sofia and the existentialist in the postwar France. However, when we reread Kristeva’s texts, we see that she repeatedly refers to Sartre directly or indirectly. In particular, it should be noted that she treats Sartre, along with Aragon and Barthes, in her lectures on “revolt” held in the mid-90’s. In this paper, we try to reveal a secret Sartrism in Kristeva from these lectures.

Keywords: Julia Kristeva, Jean-Paul Sartre, existence, revolt, abjection, tourniquet (whirligig/ revolving door)
