Are You Subject to Abjection?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Excellent resource for the Lacanian scholar, if you are looking specifically at abjection. If you are looking at Subjectivity theory overall, however, this is too specific. Luckily, my focus is abjection, and this book really did wonders for the article I'm working on!
Difficult but worthwhile, ohmy!

Don't be abjected even further than you already are, read this book and allow Kristeva's language to take you on a hallucinatory journey to the limits of symbolization. The act of reading this book can be, at times, an excersize in facing/coping with abjection. If you're patient, go slow, and finally understand thirty percent of this book, you'll be leagues ahead of most intellectuals out there.
Uncanny...astonishing...
