Powers of Horror: An Essay on Abjection · Julia Kristeva · p.113
POWERS OF HORROR > BOUNDARIES OF THE SELF'S CLEAN AND PROPER BODY > FROM SEXUAL IDENTITY TO SPEECH AND FROM ABOMINATION TO MORALS
Theoretical move: Kristeva traces a logical progression in Leviticus whereby material abomination (food, blood, bodily mixing) is sublimated into sexual identity prohibitions and finally into a purely symbolic register, where defilement becomes profanation of the divine Name—the monotheistic One that grounds separation as such and converts impurity from material admixture into symbolic transgression (idolatry, substitution, doubles).
The same condemnation of hybrids and migrant beings can probably be read in the prohibition against leavened bread... neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.
