DESCRIPTION:
Inner Cartographer said This is a complex book that required me to move. This is a complex book that required me to move through it slowly. I now understand why it is a foundational text. At times, I found myself pondering where there was abjection in myself and the people I know.. Our Beautiful Horrorfilled World, and Why We Love All of It S. Livingston This is by far one of my favorite texts. The abject touches everything in our lives and Kristeva poetically engages with the third position beautifully. A must read for feminists, art students, and anyone into psychoanalysis or disgust.. Must for psychoanalysts Not linear writing. Difficult book to read. Interesting book.
