In the context of a book category or genre, "Abjection" refers to works that explore themes of horror, disgust, and the breakdown of boundaries between the self and the other. These books often delve into the unsettling and the taboo, examining the human experience through the lens of what is considered repulsive or disturbing. The concept of abjection, rooted in psychoanalytic theory, particularly the work of Julia Kristeva, involves the confrontation with things that challenge our sense of identity and societal norms, such as bodily fluids, decay, or the uncanny. Books in this genre might explore the psychological and emotional responses elicited by these encounters, pushing readers to confront their own fears and the darker aspects of human nature. Through narratives that evoke a visceral reaction, the abjection genre seeks to illuminate the complexities of the human condition and the fragile boundaries that define our sense of self.
