Messianic-City: Ruins, Refuge and Hospitality in Derrida
TL;DR: A number of fascinating readings have been done on Derrida's concept of hospitality, yet hardly anything has been written on the theme of the city in Derrda, even though it is precisely his evocation of a city as a place of refuge modeled after a certain messianicity, if not messianism that exposes his own texts to a rigorous rethinking and critique.

"Revolution in Religious Language": The Relevance of Julia Kristeva's Theory of 'Signifiance' for Theology
Abstract: This dissertation applies Julia Kristeva’ theory of revolution in the practice of signifiance to religious discourse. In particular, it argues that the salient features of signifiance are present and active in religious speech acts as well as poetic language, the subject of Kristeva’s doctoral thesis Revolution in Poetic Language. Signifiance describes the process in which meaning is produced in linguistic utterance, and its intentional practice is subversive not only in terms of language but culture in general.
