Disgust is a powerful
response that protects us from danger but also carries its own dangers.
The Channel 4 series, Anatomy of Disgust, explores that response
and the uses — positive and negative — to which it can be put.
The first programme looks at the science
and psychology of what disgusts different people and why. The
second programme examines how disgust is manipulated by social, political
and religious systems to downgrade, exclude and even exterminate particular
groups.
The third programme explores the work of artists
who attempt to confront the gap between the sanitised façade and
the dirty reality of our world.
First shown: 15, 22, 29 August 2000.
