RESONANCES Science – Art – Politics RESONANCES Science – Art – Politics Milan Superstudio Più Gallery 13-14 October 2015 europa.eu/!Vt66BU Biographies Joint JointResearch ResearchCentre Centre Josephine Green Beyond20:21st Century Stories, former director of trends and strategy at Philips Design “We have to embrace complexity and connectivity if we are to live well and prosper in the future” For a number of decades we have been talking about how the world will change and is changing but now something dramatic has happened the world has changed. Despite this many of our institutions, our corporations, our education systems and ourselves, have not yet realized it. History fast forwards to the future but we too often hold back trying to mould this new complex reality to a simpler time. Josephine explores and articulates this critical period of transformation and challenges us to think and to act differently in our world. She believes we need a different way of framing, creating, innovating and being in the world if we are to live well, prosper and safeguard the future. She demonstrates the very real need to go beyond the present growth paradigm, to decentralize and distribute innovation, creativity and design and to embrace complexity through new organizational, cultural and leadership models. Josephine regularly delivers international presentations and is an advisor to European Futures and Research platforms. She lectures in masters and executive education programs at a number of UK and European Universities and is Visiting Professor at the University of Northumberland at the faculty of Art and Design and Social Sciences. Josephine was appointed Senior Director of Trends and Strategy at Philips Design, in the Netherlands in 1997. She left Philips in 2009 to return to the UK and her company, Beyond20:21st Century Stories explores our Change of Age. She studied History and Politics at Warwick University and has lived and worked in the UK, Italy and Holland.

    UC Center French Language and Culture Program Courses - Summer 2016 PCC 106. Tastes of Paris: The Anthropology of Food Prof. Chelsie YOUNT-ANDRE Lecture Tuesday/Thursday 2-4 pm Email: [email protected] (unless otherwise indicated) Office Hours By appointment COURSE DESCRIPTION This course provides an introduction to the anthropological study of food through analysis of French cuisine and eating practices in Paris. We will examine interconnections between the cultural, political, and economic aspects of human food systems and how they shape the diverse ways groups of people eat. We will explore anthropological approaches to research and ethnographic methods, which will be utilized in on-site study excursions and writing assignments. Course readings and lectures will focus on the ways food conveys social meaning in historically and geographically specific ways that vary with class, gender, and ethnicity. We will explore global food systems and everyday meals, approaching food as a lens into social processes like socialization, embodiment, and the reproduction of gendered, national, and ethnic identities. We will draw on our experiences in Paris to analyze French foodways relative to political, economic, and social transformations in France. To this end, we will visit open-air markets in Paris, sample foods, examine French material culture including films and media clips. We will examine the history of food in France and its empire, in the words of anthropologist Marcel Mauss, as a “total social fact”. 4.0 UC quarter units. [Suggested

  • Moser on Albala, 'Food in Early Modern Europe'
    H-HRE Moser on Albala, 'Food in Early Modern Europe' Review published on Thursday, December 1, 2005 Ken Albala. Food in Early Modern Europe. Connecticut: Greenwood Press, 2003. xvii + 260 pp. $50.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-313-31962-4. Reviewed by Sabrina Moser (Independent Scholar) Published on H-HRE (December, 2005) Food For Thought In the acknowledgements with which he opens his 2003 study, Food in Early Modern Europe, author Ken Albala claims that his book was "an absolute ball to write" (p. vii). I can only echo Albala's sentiment by noting that his work is also a pleasure to read. Providing much food for thought, Albala's study serves as a compendium that should be of great practical value both to food historians in need of concise reference works for their undergraduate courses and to anyone new to the field of Food Studies. In clear prose with a conscience avoidance of scholarly jargon, Albala's text provides a solid overview of Western European food history from 1500 to 1800 with a clear focus on the early modern period. As he states in his introduction, this work is not geared at scholars who already have a solid grounding in food history or at specialist seeking specific information but rather at a "nonspecialist audience of students and the general public" (p. xvi). Thus he acknowledges that "historians will miss the lack of meticulous notes" and fellow food scholars will "miss the precision" that comes with the use of specialized language (p. xvi-xvii). These claims are certainly true, yet Albala's generalist approach by no means negates his overall contribution to the field.

  • Commensality: the Essential Concept of Food Studies
    Commensality: The Essential Concept of Food Studies James H. Tuten Bookend Seminar, February 12, 2020 James Tuten is Professor of History at Juniata College. hen you reflect on the most pleasurable or happiest meals you have experienced, what do you W picture? For me, any number of meals might come to mind. They range from ornate wedding feasts, birthday parties, holiday meals, and exquisite dishes prepared by chefs to a fish fry held on an island in a South Carolina swamp, a box lunch on a Barbados hillside, and s’mores around a campfire. The menus, the stated purposes, the costs, and the skills of the cooks varied greatly among these meals. What they share, though, is the social setting of group dining. The quality that holds them together is the most important idea for the understanding of humans and food, once we meet our basic needs of nutrition.1 Figure 1. History of Food class meal 2018. Photo credit: James H. Tuten. Scholars and writers coming from a wide range of disciplines—biology, sociology, gastronomy, anthropology, philosophy, archaeology, and history—in the nineteenth century began to study food and its uses and meanings. They explored the major facets of food for humans, including nutrition, that is, what people need to consume to survive. As gastronomy came into existence in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, tomes about taste appeared. There are, after all, essential sensory elements of eating 51 | Juniata Voices and drinking: textures and mouthfeel, flavors, temperatures, and so forth. You can say they are experiences of sensuality that can be public.

In this course, we will explore the history ​ ​ of food in Italy as a gateway to understanding present Italian culture. By examining the factors that have shaped Italian food, cuisine, and taste, the variations in eating habits of different socio-economic classes, and the essential role played by food in constructing Italian identities, we will shed light on fundamental patterns in Italian history and society. This exploration will lead us to consider processes of social and cultural exchange, political and religious influence, and economic and scientific development. Through a mix of discussions, readings, source analyses, workshops, projects, and a field trip we will investigate Italian food and culture from Antiquity to the present. After the completion of this course, students will have acquired a specific set of historical skills as a result of having developed a critical understanding of food history, an interdisciplinary approach to the study of Italian culture and society, and a framework for analyzing Italian history.
