- Opposition to genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is a widespread phenomenon, yet its basis is still not entirely clear. While it is usually attributed to irrational fears and political issues, it might have a deep-seated cultural causes. Exploration of the “anti – GMO” discourse reveals multiple similarities between the way genetic modifications are described by their opponents and the way impurity is depicted in ethnological theory of taboo. Those include “dirtiness”, “infectivity” and “trespassing boundaries”. Cultural identification of GMO with “impurity” and “taboo” partly explains the people’s hostility – and is an example of how new scientific achievements are assimilated by traditional cultural schemes.
