desublimate

Where it comes from

From de- + sublimate.

verb desublimates · desublimating · desublimated

  1. intransitive To undergo desublimation; to change directly from a gas to a solid.
  2. transitive Make explicit that which has been sublimated or obscured because it is not socially acceptable. However, the question remains as to why the text does not desublimate the hard-boiled genre's investments around gender, sexuality, race, and nation with the same sort of scrupulous rigor that it demystifies the economic and social ideology of the form.
