Rome, Pollution and Propriety
Rome, Pollution and Propriety
brings together scholars from a range of
disciplines in order to examine the historical continuity of dirt, disease
and hygiene in one environment, and to explore the development
and transformation of these ideas alongside major chapters in the
city’s history, such as early Roman urban development, Roman pagan
religion, the medieval Church, the Renaissance, the Unification of
Italy, and the advent of Fascism. This volume sets out to identify the
defining characteristics, functions and discourses of pollution in Rome
in such realms as disease and medicine, death and burial, sexuality
and virginity, prostitution, purity and absolution, personal hygiene
and morality, criminality, bodies and cleansing, waste disposal, decay,
ruins and urban renovation, as well as studying the means by which
that pollution was policed and controlled.
