And why does this act offend our sensibilities, without necessarily making us into vegetarians? In her study of abattoirs in southwest France, No駘ie Vialles brings to light a complex system of avoidances. Her analysis reveals that beyond the specific denial of the work of the abattoirs lies a whole system of symbolic representations of blood, human beings and animals, a symbolic code that determines the way in which we prepare domestic animals for the table.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Noilie Vialles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521466725\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521466721\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/16\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.88h x 5.99w x 0.40d","brand":"Noilie Vialles","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992217944319,"sku":"9780521466721","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7692e701-73ba-4c89-9390-0922a342c20a.jpg?v=1683314712","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/animal-to-edible-noilie-vialles-9780521466721","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
