Disgust has been degraded and suppressed because of the primacy of aesthetics taste; but studying disgust is nothing new, going from an aesthetics definition of the repulsive to an accurate and detailed phenomenological analysis defending its ethical function. According to Bataille, disgust is not significant except in a social group, where exclusion discriminates abject things in the same way as a living organism rejects its faeces. Sarte’s existential nausea hides the fact that the collective dimension of disgust is a matter of cultural anthropology. The anthropological side of disgust varies according to the differences in culture.
