Summary/Abstract: Two main problems in Julia Kristeva's work, which she has constantly thematized for years, are the foreign in its various dimensions and the rebellion. A number of researchers emphasize that she adopted the theme of foreignness and the alien from Freudian psychoanalysis, insofar as through introspection and penetration into the unconscious we discover the foreign in ourselves. While this is true, there is one moment of central importance that has been completely ignored, namely the fact that Kristeva directly borrowed the title of her book 'Etrangers à nous-mêmes' from the mouth of Orestes in Sartre's play 'Les mouches' (The Flies). Ignoring this fact is not accidental. Although tens of thousands of pages have been written on both, Sartre and Kristeva, the thematic connection between the two authors has hardly been explored. Therefore, the purpose of the present article is to carry out a first critical reading of Sartre through Krsteva and vice versa, showing the problematic nature of her psychoanalytical interpretation of Sartre's philosophy.
