Storm at Sea: The Tempest, Cultural Materialism and the Early Modern Political Aesthetic
TL;DR: The Tempest is an important corrective to forms of cultural materialist analysis that have sought to historicize early modern works by bracketing the problem of the aesthetic altogether as discussed by the authors, arguing that it is precisely in its preoccupation with the aesthetic, and particularly with aesthetic autonomy that the play encounters the most radical dimensions of its material and historical causation.

"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.
