kristeva-superego

September 19, 2024

To each ego its object, to each superego its abject. It is not the white expanse or slack boredom of repression, not the translations and transformations of desire that wrench bodies, nights, and discourse; rather it is a brutish suffering that, “I” puts up with, sublime and devastated… I endure it, for I imagine that such is the desire of the other.

Thought:

“Look here, being intelligible is not what it seems. You mean by understanding that you can talk about it in the way that you have a habit of talking – putting it into other words. But I mean by understanding enjoyment… If you enjoy it you understand it… If you did not enjoy it, why do you make a fuss about it?”
