Book Description
Cet ouvrage semblerait être pour le sens du goûter et les aliments de haute cuisine ce que demeure le livre d'Alain Corbin : ##Le miasme et la jonquille## (1982) pour l'odorat et les senteurs. Propos de table de l'auteur et textes anciens ou nouveaux, dont Delteil, rejoignent "le goût des mots" qui titre la première partie alors que la seconde : "le grain des choses" offre presque une centaine de recettes dont plusieurs datent de 1420 ou de 1505.

Book Description
In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, French cooks began to claim central roles in defining and enforcing taste, as well as in educating their diners to changing standards. Tracing the transformation of culinary trades in France during the Revolutionary era, Jennifer J. Davis argues that the work of cultivating sensibility in food was not simply an elite matter; it was essential to the livelihood of thousands of men and women. Combining rigorous archival research with social history and cultural studies, Davis analyzes the development of cooking aesthetics and practices by examining the propagation of taste, the training of cooks, and the policing of the culinary marketplace in the name of safety and good taste. French cooks formed their profession through a series of debates intimately connected to broader Enlightenment controversies over education, cuisine, law, science, and service. Though cooks assumed prominence within the culinary public sphere, the unique literary genre of gastronomy replaced the Old Regime guild police in the wake of the French Revolution as individual diners began to rethink cooks' authority. The question of who wielded culinary influence -- and thus shaped standards of taste -- continued to reverberate throughout society into the early nineteenth century. This remarkable study illustrates how culinary discourse affected French national identity within the country and around the globe, where elite cuisine bears the imprint of the country's techniques and labor organization.

Book Description
A recent explosion of publishing activity by a wide range of talented writers has placed Asian American literature in the limelight. As the field of Asian American literary studies gains increasing recognition, however, questions of misreading and appropriation inevitably arise. How is the growing body of Asian American works to be read? What holds them together to constitute a tradition? What distinguishes this tradition from the "mainstream" canon and other "minority" literatures? In the first comprehensive book on Asian American literature since Elaine Kim's ground-breaking 1982 volume, Sau-ling Wong addresses these issues and explores their implications for the multiculturalist agenda. Wong does so by establishing the "intertextuality" of Asian American literature through the study of four motifs--food and eating, the Doppelg,nger figure, mobility, and play--in their multiple sociohistorical contexts. Occurring across ethnic subgroup, gender, class, generational, and historical boundaries, these motifs resonate with each other in distinctly Asian American patterns that universalistic theories cannot uncover. Two rhetorical figures from Maxine Hong Kingston's The Woman Warrior, "Necessity" and "Extravagance," further unify this original, wide-ranging investigation. Authors studied include Carlos Bulosan, Frank Chin, Ashley Sheun Dunn, David Henry Hwang, Lonny Kaneko, Maxine Hong Kingston, Joy Kogawa, David Wong Louie, Darrell Lum, Wing Tek Lum, Toshio Mori, Bharati Mukherjee, Fae Myenne Ng, Bienvenido Santos, Monica Sone, Amy Tan, Yoshiko Uchida, Shawn Wong, Hisaye Yamamoto, and Wakako Yamauchi.

Book Description
Formule la plus célèbre de Brillat-Savarin, l’aphorisme qui donne son titre à cet ouvrage délivre une vérité dont les discours anthropologique et sociologique se sont aujourd’hui emparés. Le lien entre les choix alimentaires et la construction d’une identité constitue en effet une problématique centrale où se croisent facteurs physiologiques et idéologiques. Cette interaction traverse également la littérature, sensible à la fois aux discours normatifs sur la nutrition et à la part d’imaginaire sollicitée par l’incorporation alimentaire. À travers l’analyse des implications et conséquences de cet aphorisme et l’exploration des fictions auxquelles il a pu fournir un principe de composition, ce volume souhaite constituer cette mise en œuvre alimentaire en objet d’étude littéraire et répondre aux questions suivantes : Quelle est la place que l’œuvre littéraire accorde à l’alimentation dans la légitimation de déterminismes sociaux, sexuels ou raciaux ? Que disent les choix alimentaires des croyances représentées ? Dans quelle mesure participent-ils de la construction du personnage et de la mise en place d’une axiologie, voire d’une imagologie littéraire ?
