La contaminazione esprime la paura di essere invasi da qualcosa o da qualcuno e mette in crisi la nostra singolarità. Esiste dai tempi più lontani: la ritroviamo nel Noli me tangere di Gesù nel Vangelo e nel cristianesimo con il rito del battesimo che toglie i peccati dell'uomo, ma anche in altre religioni, nelle caste degli intoccabili, nella presunta purezza dell'ordine nobiliare e nella discriminazione delle razze.
