Default what does it all mean?

The following is a sentence extracted from Homi K Bhabha' book THE LOCATION OF CULTURE. It is rather convoluted and indecipherable. What does it mean?
If, for a while, the ruse of desire is calculable for the uses of discipline soon the repetition of guilt, justification, pseudoscientific theories, superstition, spurious authorities,and classifications can be seen as the desperate effort to "normalize" formally the disturbance of a discourse of splitting that violates the rational, enlightened claims of its enunciatory modality.
