Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Dis-moi ce que tu manges, je te dirai d'où tu es ". Tel un mantra, cette formulation maintes fois reprise et déformée rappelle que " nous sommes ce que nous mangeons " selon le mot d'Hippocrate. Mais savons-nous réellement ce que nous mangeons, et d'où vient ce qui est dans notre assiette ? " Dis-moi ce que tu manges, je te dirai d'où tu es ". Tel un mantra, cette formulation maintes fois reprise et déformée rappelle que " nous sommes ce que nous mangeons " selon le mot d'Hippocrate. Mais savons-nous réellement ce que nous mangeons, et d'où vient ce qui est dans notre assiette ? Pourquoi la tomate est-elle si présente dans la cuisine italienne ? Pourquoi le piment est-il omniprésent en Asie alors qu'il est originaire d'Amérique ? Et quel sera l'avenir de nos nourritures fermentées ? Ou des produits issus de l'agriculture biologique ? Dans 30 ans, boira-t-on plus de vin, de bière ou de soda ? Voici la fabuleuse histoire des aliments, cuisines et saveurs du monde. De la domestication du maïs vers - 4 000 aux biotechnologies alimentaires du xxie siècle, de l'introduction du chocolat en Espagne lors des Grandes Découvertes aux récentes ouvertures des restaurants japonais un peu partout en Europe, des premiers caféiers originaires d'Éthiopie au xiiie siècle avant notre ère au macha japonais, des pitas grecques aux samoussas indiens, l'histoire des pratiques culinaires se fond dans celle des cultures, des échanges, des climats. Sans oublier les différents codes et manières de manger d'une extrémité à l'autre du monde. Qu'on le répète : se nourrir n'est pas qu'un impératif biologique, c'est aussi un acte hautement culturel. Un atlas à dévorer !
Download or read book The Sociology of Food written by Jean-Pierre Poulain and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-02-09 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic text about the social study of food, this is the first English language edition of Jean-Pierre Poulain's seminal work. Tracing the history of food scholarship, The Sociology of Food provides an overview of sociological theory and its relevance to the field of food. Divided into two parts, Poulain begins by exploring the continuities and changes in the modern diet. From the effect of globalization on food production and supply, to evolving cultural responses to food – including cooking and eating practices, the management of consumer anxieties, and concerns over obesity and the medicalization of food – the first part examines how changing food practices have shaped and are shaped by wider social trends. The second part provides an overview of the emergence of food as an academic focus for sociologists and anthropologists. Revealing the obstacles that lay in the way of this new field of study, Poulain shows how the discipline was first established and explains its development over the last forty years. Destined to become a key text for students and scholars, The Sociology of Food makes a major contribution to food studies and sociology. This edition features a brand new chapter focusing on the development of food studies in the English-speaking world and a preface, specifically written for the edition.
Download or read book Food Culture in South America written by José Rafael Lovera and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2005-05-30 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume tells the story of the South Americans and their history through a survey of their food culture. Food in the various countries differs in some ways because of cultural heritage, cooking techniques, and geography, here divided into four zones. The traditions of the primary groups—Indians, Europeans, and Africans—and their five centuries of mixing have still resulted in a stable food culture. The foods of the Indians before European contact still play an important role, along with other foods brought by successive immigrant groups. Europeans tried to establish their staples, wheat and wine, with little success. Many dishes, cooking methods, and food habits have survived with little modification since time immemorial. Students and other readers will learn much about the South American foodways in daily life today, with special attention paid to historical perspective and any rural and urban differences. For example, in all the major cultural groups, food preparation and cooking have always been women's work, with the exception of the meat roast (asado) by llaneros and gauchos. The rise of the cooking profession is discussed as well. A fascinating look at the daily meal schedule includes insight in to how the European conquerors imposed their eating habits and encouraged overeating, with the abundance found in the New World. Modern life is shown to affect where people eat, as buying meals, often from street vendors, during the workday has become more of a necessity. The survey includes a discussion of special occasions, including agricultural celebrations and Catholic feasts with indigenous elements. The overview is completed by a chapter on diet and health, covering such topics as botanical knowledge and science and an assessment of the nutritional value of the South American staples. Classic recipes from many of the countries and illustrations complement the narrative.

Download or read book An Elusive Common written by Karen E. Rignall and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2021-07-15 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Elusive Common details the fraught dynamics of rural life in the arid periphery of southeastern Morocco. Karen Rignall considers whether agrarian livelihoods can survive in the context of globalized capitalism and proposes a new way of thinking about agrarian practice, politics, and land in North Africa and the Middle East. Her book questions many of the assumptions underlying movements for land and food sovereignty, theories of the commons, and environmental governance. Global market forces, government disinvestment, political marginalization, and climate change are putting unprecedented pressures on contemporary rural life. At the same time, rural peoples are defying their exclusion by forging new economic and political possibilities. In southern Morocco, the vibrancy of rural life was sustained by creative and often contested efforts to sustain communal governance, especially of land, as a basis for agrarian livelihoods and a changing wage labor economy. An Elusive Common follows these diverse strategies ethnographically to show how land became a site for conflicts over community, political authority, and social hierarchy. Rignall makes the provocative argument that land enclosures can be an essential part of communal governance and the fight for autonomy against intrusive state power and historical inequalities.
