Example text
The objects of consciousness are intentional objects which are intended according to some specific meaning, or under a certain description depending on the intention. The distinction and relation between noesis and noema is only operative within the phenomenological reduction (epoche), where the question of a corresponding, external object - which Husserl calls the natural attitude or "general thesis" - is suspended and the intentional object is formed for consciousness. For Kristeva, Husserl's insight into the link between the subject's position and a meaningful object provides the initial horizon of her theory of meaning.
Kristeva isolates two essential moments of psychoanalytic theory to deepen her account of the thetic phase as a threshold between the semiotic and the symbolic: the "mirror stage" and "castration," both of which, she emphasizes following Lacan, are critical moments of language acquisition and, thus, subject positionality. " The mirror stage is a moment of development in which the infans comes to recognize her/himself in a mirror, which may be real or fully imagined. The infans' recognition of her/himself, however, is actually a mzsrecognition (meconnaissance).
This chapter has emphasized the material conditions of meaning production, which has tended to overshadow the specific socioeconomic and historical conditions of subjectivity and meaning. However, as the last section indicated, it would be a mistake to assume that Kristeva's materialist dialectic of semiotic and symbolic somehow isolated the semiotic and its relation to the symbolic outside of social and historical forces. The reduction of subjectivity and language to distinct, disembodied objects is tied to socioeconomic and historical institutions and ideologies, and the revolution in poetic language is bound up with the bourgeois social order of capitalism.
