seriously, i love your videos, they are awesome and they make me laugh, but this just gave me a really bad taste in my mouth.

did you actually have to speak of her being hot and all that bull? how come the derrida video or the lacan one did not pose them as sexual, why does she has to be presented through that lens?

I don't hate here, just wanted to put in some constructive criticism, and that is because, as I said, I like your work.

Best

@Hedwiggah Your critique' s fair. I won't disagree with the fact that part of the satire here is sexist. I will try to explain. The inspiration came from a bull-session with other grad students about "the world's sexiest theorists". We sat in the grad lounge, rating them, indifferent to gender. Kristeva just happened to top the list.

@Hedwiggah Also, listen to the last line. It reveals a less literal meaning: "You're hot Kristeva, I mean hot, because I get your meaning." "Hot" is being used metonymically. She is hot becausse. I understand her ideas. It's similar to the self-compliment Shakespeare gives in Sonnet 18: "So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee."

@chiaroscurina This isn't a peer reviewed journal. Get off your high horse.

This video is HILARIOUS regardless of any mistakes.

@thaumasein ...a sex object by A woman,... i apologize for that mistake :)

[thaumasein]

@Hedwiggah perhaps because he's a heterosexual male,.... just a thought,...

i don't believe that expressing one's sexuality (in this case even humorously) is in any way wrong(at least not necessarily),..it is natural,...

i agree that considering a person ONLY as a sex object is degrading,... but you can't take sex out of the equation altogether,... and i do wish i would be considered a sex object by some woman:)

this is great did you go to Vassar or Sarah Lawrence?

[Drblooter99]

She WAS hot in the 1960s, and, as the only (hot) female among the Tel Quel intellectual group, got regularly flirted with and chatted up by verbose geeks.

ok... if i was a tv-producer i´d hire you to make documents on... whatever... this one assured me.

and ..

seriously (for the commentor below): it´s not a crime not pretend to be not a heterosxual male, if one is one. damn it! it´s ok to be a sexist with good conscience...

hell with feministical paranoia.

julia kristeva didn't write the acoustic mirror - kaja silverman did.

this video would be pretty cool if not for such a sad and scary mistake.
