Powers of Horror is an excellent introduction to an aspect of contemporary French literature which has been allowed to become somewhat neglected in the current emphasis on para-philosophical modes of discourse."

Abject as the transition between pre-Oedipal existence and the Symbolic, the Other and the Self. Literature as an unveiling of the abject. Kristeva以Céline基于二战的文本讨论恐怖与叙事的关系,提出更加不受时空限制的abject概念。(比很多把讨论终结在unnameable的post structuralists要负责得多)
(From Filth to Defilement) SGS W8 ❶abject- weakness of that prohibition ❷ defilement是從symbolic system中被拋棄的;filth只適用與boundary有關的東西 ❸從defilement到rebirth(婆羅門教)❹Oedipus自己才是pharmakos(淨化手段)而Jocasta本身就是miasma. ❺只要我們意識自己被符號語言(by symbolic-by language)改變,我們眼睛就能一直睜開。
在母系氏族中,异教长期存在,表现为一种玷污的习俗;在单神教中,卑贱持续表现为排斥和禁忌可憎恶的宗教(换喻关系)逐渐替代“圣,物”的宗教(暗喻关系)。Between law and transgression: ABJECTION不在处于无意识的轨道上,而是处在原始压抑的边界上,一方面与身体的征兆靠近,一方面与sublimation接触。
大一的时候天天写她,期待自己成功祛魅的那一天。
Feminist Psychoanalysis. 在拉康的基础上引入Freud 的the chora,由此创造了the abject的观念-the abject is a place where meaning threatens to breakdown and thus there is no distinction between the Self and the Other. Barbara Creed apply Kristeva into the genre of horror that the abject needs to be excluded since the symbolic order has to be restored.
