Concept Vlog - Julia Kristeva's Abject
Added 2021-02-24 04:15:19 +0000 UTCShe lost the vote, but that only impelled me to impress her significance upon you.
If you dig this the Kristeva Reader is good and covers her various interests: https://amzn.to/3pHHgVW.

Also Pills, in the end, Deleuze still described himself as Guattari as Marxists of a certain sort. I like how these authors call it a 'minor Marxism' https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1057/9781137352835_7

2021-06-05 17:18:14 +0000 UTCIncredibly interesting, loving what she adds on/modifies Lacan's theory and how her theory can be used for building a radically political worldview as well. Very, very complimentary to post leftism, which I love. It's amazing how in the 1970s she's already rejecting the empty idpol of liberal discourse which thinks that having a black and female vice president counts as real social progress. Impressive af I'm confused here tho: if the abject is something which horrifies us, then why would we still unconsciously desire coherence with it? At least in the example of the mother, which is the first abject. Seems contradictory to me. Also Pills, do you think at some point in the future you might decide to make a video on how Kristeva's and Deleuze's ideas of combatting the system can be done in a material way? I see a lot of posts talking about deterritorialisation and going schizo to combat capitalism in the postmodern era but I'm still not sure how that's supposed to resist it, or how to bring about something like a revolution (even though I remember from the Anti-Oedipus video you saying that the point wasn't a Marxist/anarchist 20th century style revolution).
