Book Synopsis Historia de la alimentación by : Jean-Louis Flandrin
Download or read book Historia de la alimentación written by Jean-Louis Flandrin and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 1101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nueva edición de esta imprescindible obra, ahora en rústica y a un precio sensiblemente inferior. ¿Cuándo se empezaron a cocer los alimentos? ¿A partir de cuándo se puede hablar de cocina? ¿En qué época surgieron los festines? ¿Y el hábito de las comidas regulares? ¿Y nuestra manera de comer, sentados en sillas en torno a una mesa alta, cada uno en su plato, cortando la carne con cuchillo y tenedor individuales? ¿Por qué de una sociedad a otra, y de una época a la siguiente, es tan diferente la elección de los alimentos, su valor gastronómico, su preparación y la manera de comerlos? La alimentación no sólo remite a la satisfacción de una necesidad fisiológica idéntica en todos los seres humanos, sino también a la diversidad de culturas y a todo lo que contribuye a modelar la identidad de cada pueblo; depende de las técnicas de producción agrícola, de las estructuras sociales, de las representaciones dietéticas y religiosas y consiguientes preceptos, de la visión del mundo y de un conjunto de tradiciones lentamente elaboradas a lo largo de los siglos. Las relaciones entre esos aspectos de la cultura y las maneras de alimentarse han existido siempre, desde la conquista del fuego hasta el desembarco de McDonald’s en Europa. Esta es la larga historia que este libro nos invita a descubrir. A lo largo de sus 1.000 páginas encontraremos el alimento de cada día, la función del pan, del vino y de las especias, el arte culinario y también las hambrunas que asolaban periódicamente la antigua Europa o las transformaciones del consumo alimentario desde hace dos siglos. Descubriremos que nuestros antepasados ya tenían libros de cocina y que los oficios de la alimentación eran aún más numerosos que hoy en día; también descubriremos que la tradición occidental se alimentó en mayor o menor medida de culturas vecinas: la de Mesopotamia y el antiguo Egipto, la griega y la romana, la bizantina, la judía y la árabe y, finalmente, la americana. Esta obra, en la que han participado unos cincuenta historiadores, se realizó bajo la dirección de Jean-Louis Flandrin, cofundador de la revista internacional Food & Foodways, catedrático emérito de la Universidad de París VIII-Vincennes, y de Massimo Montanari, catedrático de la Universidad de Bolonia y especialista en alimentación de la Edad Media.
Book Synopsis The Columbian Exchange by : Alfred W. Crosby Jr.
Download or read book The Columbian Exchange written by Alfred W. Crosby Jr. and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2003-04-30 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirty years ago, Alfred Crosby published a small work that illuminated a simple point, that the most important changes brought on by the voyages of Columbus were not social or political, but biological in nature. The book told the story of how 1492 sparked the movement of organisms, both large and small, in both directions across the Atlantic. This Columbian exchange, between the Old World and the New, changed the history of our planet drastically and forever. The book The Columbian Exchange changed the field of history drastically and forever as well. It has become one of the foundational works in the burgeoning field of environmental history, and it remains one of the canonical texts for the study of world history. This 30th anniversary edition of The Columbian Exchange includes a new preface from the author, reflecting on the book and its creation, and a new foreword by J. R. McNeill that demonstrates how Crosby established a brand new perspective for understanding ecological and social events. As the foreword indicates, The Columbian Exchange remains a vital book, a small work that contains within the inspiration for future examinations into what happens when two peoples, separated by time and space, finally meet.

Book Synopsis Performing the Community by : Cora Govers
Download or read book Performing the Community written by Cora Govers and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2006 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic liberalization, modern mass media, and new religious and political movements have touched even the most remote areas in Mexico, and the Northern Highlands of the state of Puebla are no exception. When this coincides with recent infrastructures such as roads and electricity and new income sources from cash crop production and urban migration, the nature of rural communities rapidly changes. This study shows how the people of the Totonac mountain village of Nanacatln deal with their increasingly pluriform and differentiated local world. By performing stories, rituals, and exchanges they have countered centrifugal cultural and social forces. Rather than leading to the demise of the community, modernization and globalization thus seem to have reinforced the sense of local belonging. How is this possible? This anthropological analysis points at the simultaneous efforts of new and old cultural brokers--ritual specialists and healers as well as young migrants--who recreate the community by linking the outside world to local customs. Their initiatives are taken up by women, crucial for community building through elaborate food exchanges, and men, whose involvement is central to public ritual life. Their combined efforts create a living community and link the village past to its rural- urban present and future, as a place of belonging in times of change. Cora Govers is a senior staff member at the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO).
Book Synopsis The Routledge History of Food by : Carol Helstosky
Download or read book The Routledge History of Food written by Carol Helstosky and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-03 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of food is one of the fastest growing areas of historical investigation, incorporating methods and theories from cultural, social, and women’s history while forging a unique perspective on the past. The Routledge History of Food takes a global approach to this topic, focusing on the period from 1500 to the present day. Arranged chronologically, this title contains 17 originally commissioned chapters by experts in food history or related topics. Each chapter focuses on a particular theme, idea or issue in the history of food. The case studies discussed in these essays illuminate the more general trends of the period, providing the reader with insight into the large-scale and dramatic changes in food history through an understanding of how these developments sprang from a specific geographic and historical context. Examining the history of economic, technological, and cultural interactions between cultures and charting the corresponding developments in food history, The Routledge History of Food challenges readers' assumptions about what and how people have eaten, bringing fresh perspectives to well-known historical developments. It is the perfect guide for all students of social and cultural history.
Book Synopsis Andean Foodways by : John E. Staller
Download or read book Andean Foodways written by John E. Staller and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is widespread acknowledgement among anthropologists, archaeologists, ethnobotanists, as well as researchers in related disciplines that specific foods and cuisines are linked very strongly to the formation and maintenance of cultural identity and ethnicity. Strong associations of foodways with culture are particularly characteristic of South American Andean cultures. Food and drink convey complex social and cultural meanings that can provide insights into regional interactions, social complexity, cultural hybridization, and ethnogenesis. This edited volume presents novel and creative anthropological, archaeological, historical, and iconographic research on Andean food and culture from diverse temporal periods and spatial settings. The breadth and scope of the contributions provides original insights into a diversity of topics, such as the role of food in Andean political economies, the transformation of foodways and cuisines through time, and ancient iconographic representations of plants and animals that were used as food. Thus, this volume is distinguished from most of the published literature in that specific foods, cuisines, and culinary practices are the primary subject matter through which aspects of Andean culture are interpreted.

El foco de este libro es el español moderno. Los autores abordan cuestiones tan fundamentales como: ¿De dónde proviene el español? ¿Cómo llegó a ser la lengua que conocemos hoy en día? ¿Cómo se relaciona genética y culturalmente con los demás lenguas romances y a las lenguas no romances? ¿Cuáles son los efectos del bilingüismo en las áreas donde el español coexiste con otras lenguas? La segunda edición incluye numerosos ejercicios, una sección de preguntas de repaso al final de cada capítulo, y una extensa bibliografía.

Book Synopsis La alimentación en la América precolombina y colonial by : Aylen Capparelli
Download or read book La alimentación en la América precolombina y colonial written by Aylen Capparelli and published by Editorial CSIC - CSIC Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El presente volumen tiene como objetivo contribuir al conocimiento sobre la variabilidad de los modos de alimentación en las sociedades precolombinas y coloniales. Se trata de un conjunto de trabajos (desde disciplinas como la arqueología y la antropología física) que se centran sobre todo en estudios de casos realizados en Argentina, Brasil, Colombia, México y Perú, pero que transcienden a los casos particulares en ellos presentados. La vastedad de las temáticas tratadas, permite ahondar en aspectos como la subsistencia en sociedades cazadoras-recolectoras, primeras sociedades agrícolas, las sociedades preindustriales, y de esta manera aportar elementos para la reflexión sobre el papel que los alimentos, su obtención, procesado y consumo, tuvieron en estas sociedades.

Book Synopsis The Body of the Conquistador by : Rebecca Earle
Download or read book The Body of the Conquistador written by Rebecca Earle and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-04-23 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating history explores the dynamic relationship between overseas colonisation and the bodily experience of eating. It reveals the importance of food to the colonial project in Spanish America and reconceptualises the role of European colonial expansion in shaping the emergence of ideas of race during the Age of Discovery. Rebecca Earle shows that anxieties about food were fundamental to Spanish understandings of the new environment they inhabited and their interactions with the native populations of the New World. Settlers wondered whether Europeans could eat New World food, whether Indians could eat European food and what would happen to each if they did. By taking seriously their ideas about food we gain a richer understanding of how settlers understood the physical experience of colonialism and of how they thought about one of the central features of the colonial project. The result is simultaneously a history of food, colonialism and race.

Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Latin American History by : Jose C. Moya
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Latin American History written by Jose C. Moya and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-11-05 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decades since the 1980s have witnessed an unprecedented surge in research about Latin American history. This much-needed volume brings together original essays by renowned scholars to provide the first comprehensive assessment of this burgeoning literature. The seventeen original essays in The Oxford Handbook of Latin American History survey the recent historiography of the colonial era, independence movements, and postcolonial periods and span Mexico, Spanish South America, and Brazil. They begin by questioning the limitations and meaning of Latin America as a conceptual organization of space within the Americas and how the region became excluded from broader studies of the Western hemisphere. Subsequent essays address indigenous peoples of the region, rural and urban history, slavery and race, African, European and Asian immigration, labor, gender and sexuality, religion, family and childhood, economics, politics, and disease and medicine. In so doing, they bring together traditional approaches to politics and power, while examining the quotidian concerns of workers, women and children, peasants, and racial and ethnic minorities. This volume provides the most complete state of the field and is an indispensible resource for scholars and students of Latin America.
Book Synopsis Natural Designs by : Elizabeth Gansen
Download or read book Natural Designs written by Elizabeth Gansen and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2023-12-12 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural Designs chronicles the life and work of the earliest and most influential Spanish historian of the New World, Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo (1478–1557). Through a combination of biography and visual and textual analysis, Elizabeth Gansen explores how Oviedo, in his writings, brought the European Renaissance to bear on his understanding of New World nature. Oviedo learned much from the humanists with whom he came into contact in the courtly circles of Spain and Italy, including Giovanni Battista Ramusio and Pietro Bembo, and witnessed Christopher Columbus regaling Queen Isabel and King Ferdinand with news from his inaugural voyage to the Indies. Fascinated by the Caribbean flora and fauna Oviedo encountered on his arrival to the Caribbean in 1514, he made them the protagonists of his writings on the Indies. From his consumption of the prickly pear cactus, which led him to believe his death was imminent, to the behavior of the iguana, which defied his efforts to determine if the lizard was fish or flesh, his works reveal the challenges at the heart of Spain’s encounter with the biological wonders of the Americas. Natural Designs foregrounds Oviedo’s role as a writer, illustrator, and editor of New World nature. As much as Oviedo is credited as a pioneer in the literary genre of American natural history, his contributions to early modern conceptions of the flora and fauna of the Indies are still not widely understood and appreciated. Gansen situates us in the early sixteenth century to reappraise the works of the Spanish historian who first shaped these realities.
