Contemporary Latin American Cultural Studies
Author: Stephen HartPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1444118978
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 363
Book Description
Contemporary Latin American Cultural Studies is a collection of new essays by recognised experts from around the world on various aspects of the new discipline of Latin American cultural studies. Essays are grouped in five distinct but interconnected sections focusing respectively on: (I) the theory of Latin American cultural studies; (II) the icons of culture; (III) culture as a commodity; (IV) culture as a site of resistance; and (V) everyday cultural practices. The essays range across a wide gamut of theories about Latin American culture; some, for example, analyse the role that ideas about the nation - and national icons have played in the formation of a sense of identity in Latin America, while others focus on the resonance underlying cultural practices as diverse as football in Argentina, TV in Uruguay, cinema in Brazil, and the 'bolero' and soaps of modern-day Mexico. Contemporary Latin American Cultural Studies has an introduction setting the ideas explored in each section in their proper context. The essays are written in jargon-free English (all Spanish terms have been translated into English), and are supplemented by a concluding section with suggestions for further reading.

Comida como cultura
Author: Massimo MontanariPublisher: Editora Senac São Paulo
ISBN: 853964598X
Category : Cooking
Languages : pt-BR
Pages : 184
Book Description
Nas palavras do historiador Henrique Carneiro, "a comida para os seres humanos é sempre cultura, lembra Montanari, nunca apenas pura natureza. A humanidade adotou como parte essencial de suas técnicas de sobrevivência os modos de produção, de preparação e de consumo dos alimentos, desde o conhecimento sobre as plantas comestíveis até o uso do fogo como principal artifício para transformar o alimento bruto em um produto cultural, ou seja, em comida. A cozinha, assim, funda a própria civilização". Esse é o conteúdo de Comida como cultura, de Massimo Montanari, historiador italiano, dedicado a pesquisas sobre história da alimentação. É mais uma importante contribuição do Senac São Paulo destinada a chefs, professores, estudantes e demais profissionais ligados ao mundo da gastronomia.
Food is Culture
Author: Massimo MontanariPublisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231137907
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
Elegantly written by a distinguished culinary historian, Food Is Culture explores the innovative premise that everything having to do with food--its capture, cultivation, preparation, and consumption--represents a cultural act. Even the "choices" made by primitive hunters and gatherers were determined by a culture of economics (availability) and medicine (digestibility and nutrition) that led to the development of specific social structures and traditions. Massimo Montanari begins with the "invention" of cooking which allowed humans to transform natural, edible objects into cuisine. Cooking led to the creation of the kitchen, the adaptation of raw materials into utensils, and the birth of written and oral guidelines to formalize cooking techniques like roasting, broiling, and frying. The transmission of recipes allowed food to acquire its own language and grow into a complex cultural product shaped by climate, geography, the pursuit of pleasure, and later, the desire for health. In his history, Montanari touches on the spice trade, the first agrarian societies, Renaissance dishes that synthesized different tastes, and the analytical attitude of the Enlightenment, which insisted on the separation of flavors. Brilliantly researched and analyzed, he shows how food, once a practical necessity, evolved into an indicator of social standing and religious and political identity. Whether he is musing on the origins of the fork, the symbolic power of meat, cultural attitudes toward hot and cold foods, the connection between cuisine and class, the symbolic significance of certain foods, or the economical consequences of religious holidays, Montanari's concise yet intellectually rich reflections add another dimension to the history of human civilization. Entertaining and surprising, Food Is Culture is a fascinating look at how food is the ultimate embodiment of our continuing attempts to tame, transform, and reinterpret nature.
