Julie's invocation of the unconscious

[Jim Wilce]

Julie, you might want to read Kristeva.  American linguists and
anthropologists (with some exceptions, such as Greg Urban) tend to be
allergic to notions of the unconscious in anything like a Freudian sense,
but French theorists and Francophone anthropologists like Ellen Corin do
work that would appeal to you.
