Noélie Vialles's study of abattoirs in south-west France describes a complex system of avoidances. She reveals that beyond the specific denial of the work of the abattoirs lives a whole system of symbolic representations of blood, human beings and animals, a symbolic code that determines the way in which we prepare domestic animals for the table.
