Book Food  Drink and Identity in Europe

Download or read book Food Drink and Identity in Europe written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars across the humanities and social sciences are increasingly examining the importance of consumption to changing notions of local, regional, national and supranational identity in Europe. As part of this interest, anthropologists, historians, sociologists and others have paid particular attention to the roles which food and drink have played in the construction of local, regional and national identity in Europe. This volume provides the first multidisciplinary look at the contributions which food and alcohol make to contemporary European identities, including the part they play in processes of European integration and Europeanization. It provides theoretically informed ethnographic and historical case studies of transformations and continuity in social and cultural patterns in the production and consumption of European foods and drinks, in order to explore how eating and drinking have helped to construct various local, regional and national identities in Europe. Of particular note in this volume is its attention to how food and drink intersect with recent attempts to foster greater European integration, in part through the recognition and support of common and diverse European cultures and identities.

Book The King of Drinks

Download or read book The King of Drinks written by Dmitri van den Bersselaar and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2007-10-30 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imported schnapps gin has a remarkable history in West Africa. Gin was imported in great quantities between 1880 and World War I, when its consumption showed access to the modern, international world. Subsequently schnapps was transformed into a good that signified traditional, local culture. Today, imported schnapps has high status because of its importance for African ritual and as symbol of the status of chiefs and elders, but actual consumption is limited. This book explores this unexpected trajectory of commoditisation to investigate how imported goods acquire specific local meanings. This analysis of consumption and marketing of gin contributes to our understanding of patterns of consumption, rejection and appropriation within processes of identity formation, elite formation, and the redefinition of community in colonial and postcolonial West Africa.

Packed with trivia and colorful characters, Drink amounts to an intoxicating history of the world.

Book Alcohol Advertising and Young People s Drinking

Download or read book Alcohol Advertising and Young People s Drinking written by B. Gunter and published by Springer. This book was released on 2010-10-13 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is widespread and growing concern about the use of alcohol in society, especially by young people. Although overall volumes of alcohol consumption may be levelling off, the occurrences of excessive or 'binge' drinking, especially among teenagers and young adults, are increasingly commonplace. Tackling irresponsible drinking, which is linked to other antisocial behaviour and health problems, has focused attention on the promotion of alcohol by its producers as an important causal factor. This has led to calls for tougher regulation of alcohol marketing, including restrictions on where it can occur and the form it is allowed to take. Empirical research evidence, often emanating from government funded enquiries and endorsed by health lobbies, has been cited in support of an allegedly primary role played by advertising in triggering interest in and the onset of alcohol consumption among young people and in encouraging regular and heavy drinking. Close examination of this evidence, however, reveals that the research is not always as cut and dried as it may first appear. Methodological weaknesses abound in studies of the purported effects of alcohol advertising and other forms of marketing and the significance specifically of advertising as an agent that shapes young people's alcohol consumption could be weaker than often thought. This book sets out a review and critique of the evidence on alcohol advertising and marketing effects on young people and considers this evidence in relation to codes of advertising and marketing practice.

Book Holland  Paradise or Hell

Download or read book Holland Paradise or Hell written by Dewanand and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-02-10 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a slice of cheese between both of their teeth, two Dutch homosexuals passionately embrace while walking through the dunes – with tulips in the hair and laughing loudly for having remembered a sexual adventure in the attic room of a Hague windmill. Does this sentence from the first chapter illustrate the reality of living in the Netherlands? Is the native Dutchman living in an organized paradise or in a high tech Hell, at the present time? Are the wild Dutch women looking for the best man for a sex adventure or are they the romantic experts of global quality? Are the homeless Dutchmen experimenting the whole day with the newest narcotic laws? And how do the gassed Muslims live? The rather ambitious Hindu writer Dewanand describes why living in Holland is a Hell on one hand and is like living in a paradise on the other, from a personal viewpoint, after a turbulent integration of twenty years. Dewanand. Delft, 2010
