Matter Out of Place: Anthropological Explorations of Bodies, Dirt and Morality b

Description: Matter Out of Place by Rebecca Lynch, Roland Littlewood, Joseph Calabrese Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Anthropologists often use pollution to refer to social and individual challenges to a cultural idea of purity, which may be seen in terms of religious practice, foodstuffs and social differentiation. It has been used as a trope to explore ideas of dirt and place, moral inversion and reinforcement, disgust and taboo.The book is an invitation to consider the continued relevance of Mary Douglas conceptualization of pollution and dirt as matter out of place in relation to contemporary circumstances. Its ethnographic and theoretical contributions cover diverse contexts, ranging from Europe to Africa, the Caribbean, India and Outer Space. Author Biography Rebecca Lynch is Lecturer in Medical Anthropology at the University of Exeter. Her work explores the body and biomedicine, particularly bodily fluids and boundaries, bodily relations with non-humans (e.g., technologies), morality and biomedical categorization.
