This edited volume traces cultural appearances of disgust and
investigates the varied forms and functions disgust takes and is
given in both established and vernacular cultural practices.
Contributors focus on the socio-cultural creation, consumption,
reception, and experience of disgust, a visceral emotion whose
cultural situatedness and circulation has historically been
overlooked in academic scholarship. Chapters challenge and
supplement the biological understanding of disgust as a danger
reaction and as a base emotion evoked by the lower senses, touch,
taste and smell, through a wealth of original case studies in which
disgust is analyzed in its aesthetic qualities, and in its cultural
and artistic appearances and uses, featuring visual and aural
media. Because it is interdisciplinary, the book will be of
interest to scholars in a wide range of fields, including visual
studies, philosophy, aesthetics, sociology, history, literature,
and musicology.
