Powers of Horror: An Essay on Abjection · Julia Kristeva · p.207
POWERS OF HORROR > SEGMENTATION: INTONATION, SYNTAX, SUBJECTIVITY
Theoretical move: Kristeva argues that Céline's colloquial syntactic "segmentation" (theme/rheme displacement, binary intonation) is not regression to pre-symbolic stages but an *over-syntacticism* — a surplus charging of enunciative processes on top of normative syntax — through which the subject of enunciation is constituted and the death drive is symbolically integrated.
this flight of the sentence is in short an over-syntacticism. Enunciation devices, usually repressed... show up here as an additional charging of syntactical processes.
