This article harvests and discusses the main theses and contributions of the works of Julia Kristeva in face of the post-structuralist challenge of investigating communications as a question of micropolitics rather than of gramaticalities and transmission. To do so, it departs from the dialogisms of communication (in its founding theses, mainly Bakhtin) towards its reformulation as intertextualities (Kristeva and Barthes) working in a logic of significance. This significance, understood as the foundation, but also as the becoming (devenir) of signification, is presented through its relations with textuality and the pairs phenotext/genotext and semiotic/symbolic which constitute signifying practices. This leads us to the emphasis of semanalysis in the productivity and the work (travail) that communication studies may investigate not only as signification, but as an elaboration and problematization of sense.
