Every natural symbol carries a social meaning and this book looks at the ways in which any one culture makes its selections from body symbolism. This is mainly a title about religion but it is also indirectly about style.
First published over twenty five years ago, but with a new introduction and thoroughly updated.
Every natural symbol - derived from blood, breath or excrement - carries a social meaning and this work focuses on the ways in which any one culture makes its selections from body symbolism. Each person treats his body as an image of society and Mary Douglas examines the varieties of ritual and symbolic expression and the patterns of social ritual in which they are embodied.
Natural Symbols is a book about religion, and less directly, about style. It concerns our own society at least as much as any other, and it has stimulated new insights into religious and political movements and has provoked re-appraisals of current progressive orthodoxies in many fields.
