This collection draws on classic anthropological ideas of pollution to explore bodies, dirt, and place, moral inversion and reinforcement, and disgust and taboo. The book is an invitation to consider the continued relevance of Douglas’ conceptualisation of pollution and dirt as ‘matter out of place’ in relation to contemporary circumstances.
