Theory and Life...



"For an heretical ethics...is perhaps no more than that which in life makes bonds, thoughts, and therefore the thought of death, bearable: herethics is undeath [a-mort]; love."

- Julia Kristeva

That is a fascinating quote... did you run across it or is it part of something you're reading?

I think I (and the rest of the reading public) would like some commentary on this particular piece of theory. I never read too much of Kristeva and right now everything I remember about her is kind of murky. So perhaps some commentary/enlightenment? (it's not very often that lit theory comes up in my daily conversation...so I take what I can get).
