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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Open Access version of this book, available at http:\/\/www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46259835994353,"sku":"9781032071008","price":60.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781032071008_p0.jpg?v=1765041587","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781032071008","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
