Horror: An Essay on Abjection, trans. Leon Roudiez (New York Columbia University Press, 1982), originally published as Pouvoirs de l’horreur (Paris: Éditions de Seuil, 1980). Assimilating Douglas insights to her own reformulation of Lacan, Kristeva writes, Defilement is what is jettisoned from the symbolic system. It is what escapes that social rationality, that logical order on which asocial aggregate is based, which then becomes differentiated from a temporary agglomeration of individuals and, in short, constitutes a classification system or a structure” (p. 65). 63.
