Borderline Ontology

In this groundbreaking philosophical-psychoanalytic treatise, Latkovic redefines the borderline not merely as a diagnostic category, but as an ontological condition. Drawing from Lacan, Kristeva, Heidegger, and Derrida, Borderline Ontology explores the fragile architecture of the borderline subject caught between existence and non-existence, Symbolic coherence and semiotic rupture, desire and abjection. Through original concepts such as the Hidden, the thetic threshold, primary versus secondary delocalization, and the schizoneurotic/thetically unstable distinction, Latkovic radically rethinks Borderline Personality Organization (BPO) as a haunted, regressive oscillation between Imagino-Symbolic structuration and semiotic collapse. The book weaves psychoanalysis, philosophy, and lived experience into a singular vision of what it means to be undone—by love, by madness, and by the Real. A vital work for theorists, clinicians, and readers drawn to the spectral margins of subjectivity, Borderline Ontology is a poignant, daring meditation on the limits of being and the ghosts that remain when its very meaning fails.
