ILN EP 87: Julia Kristeva

from I Learned Nothing Hosted by I Learned Nothing

Pat was feeling horrified so Ben tries to soothe him by teaching him the post-modern philosophy of French-Bulgarian thinker/provocateur Julia Kristeva. Kristeva is known for her thorough analysis of two of the most basic and primal human emotions: horror and disgust. She employs her novel concept of the "abject" to describe that primordial disorientation and fear we encounter when faced with the prospect of death. We find ourselves in a pre-symbolic space where meaning breaks down and we lose our identity as a subject. This occurs when Pat is forced to confront the fact that his parents boned to create him and they fucking loved it. Gross!
