The Shame Experience [TAP, 1985/1993pbk]; Shame in Context [TAP, 1996]), now turns to disgust, an intriguing emotion that has received little attention in the professional literature. For Miller, the psychological study of disgust revolves around boundary issues: We tend to feel disgusted about things (from bodily processes to decaying organic matter to ethnic attributes of ""foreign"" people) that lie on the border between our sense of self and nonself or between our sense of ""good self"" and ""bad self.""

Disgust has a strong claim to be a distinctively human emotion. But what is it to be disgusting? What unifies the class of disgusting things? Colin McGinn sets out to analyze the content of disgust, arguing that life and death are implicit in its meaning. Disgust is a kind of philosophical emotion, reflecting the human attitude to the biological world. Yet it is an emotion we strive to repress. It may have initially arisen as a method of curbing voracious human desire, which itself results from our powerful imagination. Because we feel disgust towards ourselves as a species, we are placed in a fraught emotional predicament: we admire ourselves for our achievements, but we also experience revulsion at our necessary organic nature. We are subject to an affective split. Death involves the disgusting, in the shape of the rotting corpse, and our complex attitudes towards death feed into our feelings of disgust. We are beings with a <"disgust consciousness>", unlike animals and gods-and we cannot shake our self-ambivalence. Existentialism and psychoanalysis sought a general theory of human emotion; this book seeks to replace them with a theory in which our primary mode of feeling centers around disgust. The Meaning of Disgust is an original study of a fascinating but neglected subject, which attempts to tell the disturbing truth about the human condition.

"In Disgust, Winfried Menninghaus provides a comprehensive account of the significance of this forceful emotion in philosophy, aesthetics, literature, the arts, psychoanalysis, and theory of culture from the eighteenth century to the present. Topics addressed include the role of disgust as both a cognitive and moral organon in Kant and Nietzsche; the history of the imagination of the rotting corpse; the counter-cathexis of the disgusting in Romantic poetics and its modernist appeal ever since; the affinities of disgust and laughter and the analogies of vomiting and writing; the foundation of Freudian psychoanalysis in a theory of disgusting pleasures and practices: the association of disgusting "otherness" with truth and the trans-symbolic "real" in Bataille, Sartre, and Kristeva; Kafka's self-representation as an "Angel" of disgusting smells and acts, concealed in a writerly stance of uncompromising "purity"; and recent debates on "Abject Art.""--Jacket

Pourritures, cadavres, corruptions, insectes et vermines, puanteurs, horreurs visuelles, matières et saveurs repoussantes, ordures, secrétions et déchets corporels... Nombreux sont les objets qui, du plus lointain de nos histoires et de nos cultures, suscitent le dégoût et agressent notre système perceptif ; les sens sont touchés avec une immédiateté qui les entraîne irrésistiblement à l'écart de cet objet qui nous fait détourner le regard, nous boucher les narines, nous éloigner physiquement afin d'éviter contact et proximité avec ce qui répugne. Pourtant, le dégoût fascine. Les artistes s'en emparent qui, dans la littérature, la peinture, l'art performatif ou le cinéma, prennent pied et appui sur le dégoût, exaltant les motifs et la monstration de ce qui au départ révulse. Comment définir le dégoût, malgré la multiplicité de ses objets ? Qu'en est-il de son histoire, tant du mot "dégoût" que du sentiment lui-même ? Quelles sont les relations qui unissent goût et dégoût ? Qu'en est-il du dégoût de soi ? Que dire, enfin, de la dimension éthique, politique et sociale d'une émotion qui pèse inévitablement dans les interactions humaines ? L'étude du dégoût est difficile. En effet, cette "émotion plurielle" est dotée d'une connotation très négative et a souvent été laissée aux marges du savoir. Depuis quelques décennies, cependant, les disgust studies se multiplient. Douze chercheurs en sciences humaines, provenant des disciplines les plus variées, proposent ici une réflexion théorique commune, explorant l'histoire, le langage, la philosophie, la psychologie, l'éthique et l'esthétique du dégoût, convaincus que les réflexions les plus riches sur le sensible, les émotions, les affects ou les sentiments se fondent sur le dialogue entre disciplines, en confrontant les méthodes, les approches et les objets. Les figures multiples du dégoût explorées dans cet ouvrage révèlent une émotion-limite, qui échappe aux partages clairement institués, tant elle se caractérise par la profusion et l'indétermination, expliquant le trouble, l'ambivalence, et la fascination du dégoûtant.
