Roland Barthes
Kristeva changes the place of things: she always destroys the latest preconception, the one we thought we could be comforted by, the one of which we could be proud; what she displaces in the illusion that it has all been said already, that is, she removes the pressure of the signifiedin a word, stupidity; what she subverts is authoritythat of monological science, of filiation.
