Purity and danger
Excerpts included in Urban Legends at Columbia College Library, 2021
Reflection on dirt involves reflection on the relation of order to disorder, being to non-being, form to formlessness, life to death. Wherever ideas of dirt are highly structured their analysis discloses a play upon such profound themes.

Mary Douglas, Purity and Danger: An Analysis of Concepts of Pollution and Taboo
