No-one was more embarassed than myself - the minute I hit return - off went my message to you all - so apologies.
I was hoping you might be kind to a retired member of the list who rarely ventures back into academic circles!
But hopefully you are not now more cross at this inconsequential email - except it comes with my apologies.

Dear Kirsteen
Thank you for sending me a copy of the seminar programme - looks most interesting.
I am sorry that I cannot attend today's seminar as I am interested in campaigning for the provision of sanitary facilities for girls and women in UK and abroad - so it would have been good to hear a more theoretically based view. Is there any possibility of getting a copy of Lucy's paper?
Many thanks, Helen

No White Water Lilies: Toilets, Bodies and Counterculture in Hawai‘i
Abstract: Defecation has received limited attention within the social sciences and humanities. Toilets not a great deal. Urination even less. However, examining the practice of composting faeces and ‘pee[ing] on any tree’ by white, West Coast US ‘hippies’ and ‘drop-outs’ living in Hawai’i suggests that the disposal of excreta is never simply disposal. Rather, it entails engagement with the state, one’s own body and sense of placedness. Through looking at the everyday defecatory practices of hippies and drop-outs in Hawai‘i, this paper seeks to examine the interplay of the acts of defecation and urination with the materiality of toilets themselves. Each depends on the other, and both exist in relation to various others: other toilet designs, other communities, other people. As such, it becomes possible to extend beyond Douglas’ argument that ‘dirt is matter out of place’ to explore the notion that – at least in relation to toilets – ‘dirt is relations out of place’. By placing relationships at the heart of this analysis of defecation and urination, this paper provides fertile ground for the exploration of embodiment at its most base level, as site of generative action and social critique.
Please contact me if you have any enquires about the seminar programme.
We look forward to seeing you.
