Mary Douglas Quotes
If We Can Abstract Pathogenicity And Hygiene From Our Notion Of Dirt, We Are Left With The Old Definition Of Dirt As Matter Out Of Place. This Is A Very Suggestive Approach. It Implies Two Conditions: A Set Of Ordered Relations And A Contrevention Of That Order. Dirt Then, Is Never A Unique, Isolated Event. Where There Is Dirt There Is A System. Dirt Is The By-product Of A Systematic Ordering And Classification Of Matter, In So Far As Ordering Involves Rejecting Inappropriate Elements.
