Powers of Horror: An Essay on Abjection by Julia Kristeva

Powers of Horror: An Essay on Abjection, published in 1980, is a seminal work by Julia Kristeva, a Bulgarian-French philosopher, psychoanalyst, and cultural critic. This essay explores the concept of abjection, a psychological and philosophical notion that addresses the human reaction to what is perceived as grotesque, repulsive, or threatening to one's sense of self and order. Kristeva's work is heavily influenced by psychoanalysis, particularly the ideas of Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan, as well as her interest in semiotics and linguistics.
