What is the difference between abject and abjection?
Kristeva defines the abject as that which does not 'respect borders, positions, rules' and 'disturbs identity, system, order' (Kristeva, 1982). For Kristeva, abjection is rooted in our sense of identity. She writes that 'the abject has only one quality of the object and that is being opposed to I' (Kristeva, 1982).Mar 15, 2023
