# Abject The object against which the masses -- the mob -- direct their hatred and disgust and thereby experience unity. The organization of this collective distancing creates longed-for order in the chaos of the world. This can happen constructively, in conjunction with [[The Phallic Intrusion]] and the shift of the child's focus from [[Mamilla]] (the first abject) to yearning for [[Phallus]], or destructively, when the false phallus promises rewards from which all outsiders are excluded. See also [[Hyperject]] and [[Anoject]].
