Summary/Abstract: The study traces the continuity and transformation of some of Julia Kristeva's major concepts between her first book published in French Semeiotike (1969) and her early magnum opus Revolution in Poetic Language (1974), while taking into consideration the further vicissitudes of these concepts. Kristeva's work in its entirety is focused on the restless “revolutionary” frontier between the non- human and the human, between the inanimate and the biological, and between sen soriality and code: the network of (in)human connections, from which the subject's “infinite point” emerges. Exploring the genesis of Kristeva's conceptual apparatus is motivated by the conviction that it is especially vital and relevant vis-à-vis the challenges of contemporary technological developments.
