Powers of Horror: An Essay on Abjection · Julia Kristeva · p.17
POWERS OF HORROR > BEYOND THE UNCONSCIOUS
Theoretical move: Kristeva deploys Lacanian categories (repression, foreclosure, jouissance, objet petit a, the Other) to argue that abjection constitutes a logic of exclusion that precedes and exceeds the Freudian unconscious, operating through a "border" structure rather than through negation, thereby challenging the conscious/unconscious dialectic and positing a pre-objectal, affect-laden mode of subjectivation anchored in the Symbolic Other.
The one by whom the abject exists is thus a deject who places (himself), separates (himself), situates (himself), and therefore strays instead of getting his bearings, desiring, belonging, or refusing.
