Powers Of Abjection
Powers Of Abjection
In this book, Ricardo Laleff Ilieff presents a new ontological understanding of politics through the writings of Julia Kristevas notion of abjection in dialogue with Sigmund Freuds concept of Unheimlich and Jacques Lacans ontology du rél.
Aimed at those who are interested in the politics-psychoanalytic praxis, Laleff Ilieff argues that the abject enables one to critically read conceptual developments that are central to contemporary thought. Examining the abject in sacrifice, war, and the One as articulated by contemporary thinkers such as Walter Benjamin, Judith Butler, Carl Schmitt, RenéGirard, Pierre Clastres, Giorgio Agamben, and Jacques Rancièe, Laleff Ilieff argues that abjection does not operate on the margins of the social but is what unveils the failure of all identity.
