内容简介
 · · · · · ·

Is cleanliness next to godliness? What does such a concept really mean? Why does it recur as a universal theme across all societies? And what are the implications for the unclean?

In Purity and Danger Mary Douglas identifies the concern for purity as a key theme at the heart of every society. In lively and lucid prose she explains its relevance for every reader by revealing its wide-ranging impact on our attitudes to society, values, cosmology and knowledge. This book has been hugely influential in many areas of debate – from religion to social theory. With a specially commissioned preface by the author which assesses the continuing significance of the work, this Routledge Classics edition will ensure that Purity and Danger continues to challenge, question and inspire for many years to come.

Mary Douglas is a central figure within British social anthropology. Studying under Evans-Pritchard at Oxford immediately after the war, she formed part of the group of anthropologists who established social anthropology’s standing in the world of scholarship. Her works, spanning the second half of the twentieth century, have been widely read and her theories applied across the social sciences and humanities.

order and power as negotiator of cleanliness and defilement

ps. 阅读此书的中译本非常危险,我疑心,几位译者是拿google翻译来工作的,否则就很难理解为何会产生那些奇怪的句子。举一个例子,《印度社会学刊》被译为了《印度社会学的贡献》,译者只知道contribution有贡献的意思。

纯粹与危险。玛丽道格拉斯。

整体来说是人类学加文化研究的框架,但是对dirt的阐释很别出心裁,不过总觉得理论深度不够,以及这个想法福柯,德里达,拉康啥的都提出过了,只不过用的词和框架不同。
