Description

Explore the complex relationship between sexual difference and the concept of abjection in this academic study. Part of the Lines of the Symbolic in Psychoanalysis Series, this book offers an interdisciplinary look at how social discourses and unconscious anxieties shape our understanding of the feminine. By examining the ways in which sexual difference is experienced as an encounter with otherness, the text investigates the historical characterizations of "monstrous" women. The author builds upon Barbara Creed's notion of the monstrous-feminine to provide a specific Lacanian analysis. Through the lens of Lacan's theory of "sexuation," the work examines various figures including Mary Toft, Andrea Yates, Lilith, and Medusa. This volume provides a deep dive into how these figures challenge existing social characterizations and how the abjected serves as a site of psychological and social inquiry. It is a significant resource for students and scholars interested in psychoanalytic theory, gender studies, and the history of social discourse regarding the feminine.
