Manage episode 220496992 series 1323427
On Powers of Horror: An Essay on Abjection (1980), ch. 1 and 2.
Kristeva writes about "abjection," where we violently reject things like corpses, bodily wastes and other fluids, and the Lovecraftian unnameable that lurks at the edge of our awareness. Her book is also all about the self, suggesting modifications to Freud's Oedipal complex and Lacan's mirror-stage story. With guest Kelley Citrin.
