A 1955 book posits that this phenomenon affects people through an “ontogenetic” approach and that civilizations characterized by this phenomenon originate through a “phylogenetic” approach. Julia Kristeva defined the abject as facing a “primal” form of this phenomenon. This phenomenon’s “surplus” form derives from the performance principle, unlike its “basic” form. This phenomenon characterizes a mode of “desublimation” caused by consumer culture, per (*) Herbert Marcuse’s Eros and Civilization. The History of Sexuality critiques the “hypothesis” that sexuality has been subject (10[1])to this phenomenon (10[1])since the 1600s. In (10[1])Civilization and Its Discontents, (10[1])Freud claims that civilization requires using this phenomenon on one's instincts. For 10 points, name this defense mechanism of blocking unwanted desires or memories from the conscious mind. ■END■
