Powers of Horror: An Essay on Abjection · Julia Kristeva · p.35
POWERS OF HORROR > AS ABJECTION—SO THE SACRED > BORGES
Theoretical move: Kristeva argues that literature's proper "object" is the abject itself—figured through Borges's Aleph as the impossible real toward which the repetition-compulsion drives—and that writing enacts a sublimation of abjection without consecration, substituting for the sacred's former role at the limits of social and subjective identity.
we are dealing here with a sublimation without consecration. Forfeited.
