Humanities : religious studies and the arts. 330 $aMary Douglas's seminal work Purity and Danger (Routledge, 1966) continues to be indispensable reading for both students and scholars today. Marking the 50th anniversary of Douglas's classic, the present volume sheds fresh light upon themes raised by Douglas by drawing on recent developments in the social sciences and humanities, as well as current empirical research. In presenting new perspectives on the topic of purity and impurity, the volume integrates work in anthropology and sociology with contemporary ideas from religious studies, cognitive science and the arts. Containing contributions from both established and emerging scholars, including prote?ge?es of Douglas herself, Purity and Danger Now is an essential volume for those working on purity and impurity across the full spectrum of the social sciences and humanities. 606 $aTaboo 606 $aPurity, Ritual 606 $aFear of contamination 615 0$aTaboo. 615 0$aPurity, Ritual. 615 0$aFear of contamination. 676 $a390 701 $aDuschinsky$b Robbie$f1986-$0910283 701 $aSchnall$b Simone$0910284 701 $aWeiss$b Daniel H$0910285 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910159449103321 996 $aPurity and danger now$92037456 997 $aUNINA
