Download or read book Appetite and Its Discontents written by Elizabeth A. Williams and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2020-04-15 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do we eat? Is it instinct? Despite the necessity of food, anxieties about what and how to eat are widespread and persistent. In Appetite and Its Discontents, Elizabeth A. Williams explores contemporary worries about eating through the lens of science and medicine to show us how appetite—once a matter of personal inclination—became an object of science. Williams charts the history of inquiry into appetite between 1750 and 1950, as scientific and medical concepts of appetite shifted alongside developments in physiology, natural history, psychology, and ethology. She shows how, in the eighteenth century, trust in appetite was undermined when researchers who investigated ingestion and digestion began claiming that science alone could say which ways of eating were healthy and which were not. She goes on to trace nineteenth- and twentieth-century conflicts over the nature of appetite between mechanists and vitalists, experimentalists and bedside physicians, and localists and holists, illuminating struggles that have never been resolved. By exploring the core disciplines in investigations in appetite and eating, Williams reframes the way we think about food, nutrition, and the nature of health itself..

Book excerpt: A thousand years after the end of the Second Endless Winter, life seems to be stable around the globe. And one night, a zoo in the middle of a bustling city welcomes a new arrival: a rare hybrid cub, half lion and half tiger. A liger. As the little Ligress grows, a question constantly bothers her: what does Panthera look like to her? Does she see the view of the tigers, Panthera's blue eyes? Or does she see the view of the lions, Panthera's red claws? Her mother tells her he looks like a tiger; her father argues that he looks like a lion. Who does she believe? One winter night, mysterious stray cat with a pure white coat appears, and tells her that both views are wrong. He alone knows what Panthera truly looks like. But in order to help Ligress see the true light, he would have to tell her a story, starting from the very beginning. He would have to tell her the story of Panthera, and how he became a Star Lord.

Download or read book Cultures of Taste Theories of Appetite Eating Romanticism written by T. Morton and published by Springer. This book was released on 2004-01-16 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultures of Taste/Theories of Appetite brings two major critical impulses within the field of Romanticism to bear upon an important and growing field of research: appetite and its related discourses of taste and consumption. As consumption, in all its metaphorical variety, comes to displace the body as a theoritical site for challenging the distinction between inside and outside, food itself has attracted attention as a device to interrogate the rhetoric and politics of Romanticism. In brief, the volume initiates a dialogue between the cultural politics of food and eating, and the philosophical implications of ingestion, digestion and excretion.
