Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. Horror begins where the boundary between self and world collapses. Blood escapes. Skin opens. A corpse remains after the person is gone. We are not souls temporarily housed in flesh-we are organisms that generate a sense of self, and that self depends on constantly rejecting the very matter of which it is made.In The Abject, Calder Ash offers a sustained, unflinching philosophical and cultural inquiry into this disturbance. Drawing on Julia Kristeva's Powers of Horror, the book tracks the abject through its most insistent material forms-blood, vomit, feces, pus, rot, the corpse, mutilation, parasites, fungus, infection, cannibalism, pregnancy, transformation, aging, and disease. Each is examined as a crisis of containment that reveals the self not as a sealed interior but as a provisional pattern in a continuum of exchange.From the border of the skin to the technologies of abjection in film and literature, from Lovecraft's cosmic exteriors to Cronenberg's rewriting of the flesh, Ash shows how horror refuses the cultural labor of concealment. The result is both a diagnostic of the human condition as lived through the body and a radical reorientation: we were never souls in containers. We are meat, membrane, microbial community, and temporary organization-matter that has briefly become capable of experiencing itself as a person.When the packaging is stripped away, what remains is not alien. It is us. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
