Powers of Horror: An Essay on Abjection · Julia Kristeva · p.155
POWERS OF HORROR > ACCOUNTS OF DIZZINESS
Theoretical move: Kristeva argues that narrative is the primary social mechanism for domesticating abjection—transforming suffering, dizziness, and bodily horror into communicable form—but that in Céline, writing exceeds narrative by converting the abject body into rhythm and music, thereby achieving a "beyond" of sense that mere storytelling cannot reach.
Narrative as the recounting of suffering: fear, disgust, and abjection crying out, they quiet down, concatenated into a story.
