Abjeção em Julia Kristeva: interlocuções com Sigmund Freud e George Bataille

Abstract

In this article we seek to discuss the concept of “abjection”, as discussed in the work “Powers of Horror” by Julia Kristeva, an author whose thought is still not widespread in Brazil, which is why we propose to demonstrate the relevance of the author for philosophical studies and contemporary psychoanalytics, from the dialogue with Sigmund Freud and George Bataille. For that, first of all, we present the concept of "abjection", as developed by Kristeva in her work "Powers of Horror". Second, we present the interlocution made with Sigmund Freud, demonstrating how the concept of "abjection" can be understood as a phenomenon of uncanny and transitoriety. Finally, the approximations between Julia Kristeva and Georges Batailles are analyzed, based on the discussion of heterogeneity and sacrality as a state of “abjection".
