Powers of Horror: An Essay on Abjection · Julia Kristeva · p.201
POWERS OF HORROR > WRITING HATRED
Theoretical move: Kristeva argues that Céline's deployment of slang and colloquial speech is not merely ideological posturing but a calculated enunciation strategy: by smuggling spoken language into writing, Céline uses the signifier itself to carry an overflow of emotion, producing syntactic and prosodic transformations that downgrade the logical dominant of written language and approach an emptiness of meaning.
Slang is a language of hatred that knocks the reader out very nicely . . . annihilates him! . . . completely in your power!
