maternal abject  

Definición

  • It is in The Powers of Horror that Julia Kristeva's theory of the abject and abjection is most rigorously discussed. According to Kristeva, the abject can be defined as that which is radically rejected and excluded by a subject/society, with abjection therefore referring to the actual process of expelling all that is other to oneself.
