La alimentación mediterránea
La alimentación es uno de los aspectos más ricos de la cultura. Hablar de alimentación en un área determinada como el Mediterráneo no deja de ser un objetivo bastante complejo y ante el cual se presentan una multitud de interrogantes y de tópicos que, en definitiva, dejan entrever una importante falta de información de fondo sobre el tema. Este libro nace con una voluntad interdisciplinaria, abierta y desmitificadora: la de ofrecer una información clara y necesaria sobre los diversos aspectos que rodean todo lo que se denomina alimentación mediterránea. Una serie de especialistas han colaborado en la realización de este objetivo. Entre ellos destacan: Francisco Grande Covián, Cla...
Drinking
Over the last decades quite a few studies have been devoted to drinking. Most of these were concerned with alcohol and written by social anthropologists. This book presents multidisciplinary aspects of the ingestion of liquids at large, addressing many of the overt and covert meanings of drinking: from satisfying biological needs to communicating with humans and the hereafter, attempting to reach a differential emotional state or seeking good health and longevity through the ingestion of appropriate beverages. It includes papers from both biological and social scientists and covers a fair range of societies from rural and urban environments, and in continents and countries ranging from Europe, Africa, and Latin America to Malaysia and the Pacific.
Food Preferences and Taste
An international team of contributors present cross-disciplinary perspectives on food preferences and tastes, showing the common themes of these fundamentals of human existence. A comprehensive introduction outlines the themes and the links between them.
The Cultural Politics of Food, Taste, and Identity
The Cultural Politics of Food, Taste, and Identity examines the social, cultural, and political processes that shape the experience of taste. The book positions flavor as involving all the senses, and describes the multiple ways in which taste becomes tied to local, translocal, glocal, and cosmopolitan politics of identity. Global case studies are included from Japan, China, India, Belize, Chile, Guatemala, the United States, France, Italy, Poland and Spain. Chapters examine local responses to industrialized food and the heritage industry, and look at how professional culinary practice has become foundational for local identities. The book also discusses the unfolding construction of “loca...
Comida de rico, comida de pobre
A scholarly comparative study of the eating habits of the rich and of the poor in 20th century Andalusia.
Researching Food Habits
The term 'Anthropology of Food' has become an accepted abbreviation for the study of anthropological perspectives on food, diet and nutrition, an increasingly important subdivision of anthropology that encompasses a rich variety of perspectives, academic approaches, theories, and methods. Its multi-disciplinary nature adds to its complexity. This is the first publication to offer guidance for researchers working in this diverse and expanding field of anthropology.
Structural Intimacies
One of the most relevant social problems in contemporary American life is the continuing HIV epidemic in the Black population. With vivid ethnographic detail, this book brings together scholarship on the structural dimensions of the AIDS epidemic and the social construction of sexuality to assert that shifting forms of sexual stories—structural intimacies—are emerging, produced by the meeting of intimate lives and social structural patterns. These stories render such inequalities as racism, poverty, gender power disparities, sexual stigma, and discrimination as central not just to the dramatic, disproportionate spread of HIV in Black communities in the United States, but to the formation...
The Shaken and the Stirred
Over the past decade, the popularity of cocktails has returned with gusto. Amateur and professional mixologists alike have set about recovering not just the craft of the cocktail, but also its history, philosophy, and culture. The Shaken and the Stirred features essays written by distillers, bartenders and amateur mixologists, as well as scholars, all examining the so-called 'Cocktail Revival' and cocktail culture. Why has the cocktail returned with such force? Why has the cocktail always acted as a cultural indicator of class, race, sexuality and politics in both the real and the fictional world? Why has the cocktail revival produced a host of professional organizations, blogs, and conferences devoted to examining and reviving both the drinks and habits of these earlier cultures?
L'esprit de la parenté
Qu'ont en commun la Chanson de Roland, le Roman de Renart, le rôle revendiqué par le comte Spencer auprès de ses neveux lors des obsèques de sa sœur, la princesse Diana, ou la place de saint Joseph dans les tables des saints siciliennes ? Cette apparente devinette pour initiés, qui ressemble à un inventaire a la Prevert, a pour solution une intéressante situation anthropologique révélée par Salvatore D'Onofrio sous l'intitulé : inceste du troisième type, ajoutant ainsi une extension nouvelle a la définition de l'inceste. C'est, pour le situer dans sa forme centrale, le rapport sexuel possible entre un « compère » et une « commère », c'est-à-dire entre le parrain d'un enfant et la mère de celui-ci. Ce type de relation spirituelle, équivalente a la relation frère-sœur dans ses effets, s'inscrit dans un nouvel atome de parente où le parrain prend la place structurellement occupée par l'oncle maternel.
