520    This book enquires into the problem of various oppositions
       between pure entities such as nature and society, body and
       mind, science and the arts, subjectivity and objectivity. 
       It examines how works of literature and cinema have 
       contaminated constructions of the pure and the immune with
       their purported opposite. As an advanced critical 
       introduction to the figure of contamination, the book 
       makes explicit what so far has remained unarticulated ́⁸₂ 
       what has only been implied ́⁸₂ within postmodern, 
       poststructuralist and deconstructive theory. Combining 
       theory with literary criticism, the book sheds light on 
       how overlooked aspects of 'the novels of Henry James, 
       Herman Melville and H. G. Wells question notions of 
       natural order as well as an opposition between the 
       subjective and the objective. It offers fresh readings of 
       classic films and literary texts, including Vertigo and 
       Moby Dick, with the aim to ground theoretical insights in 
       close analysis.
