    Authorship at the fogones: Gastronomy and the Artist in Post-Transition Spain Alison Heather Atkins Brick, New Jersey Bachelor of Arts, Spanish and Mathematics, Wake Forest University, 2005 Master of Arts, Spanish Literature, University of Virginia, 2007 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Spanish, Italian & Portuguese University of Virginia August, 2013 Randolph Pope David T. Gies Gustavo Pellón Herbert Braun ii © Copyright by Alison Heather Atkins All Rights Reserved August 2013 iii Abstract This dissertation analyzes the representation of food in Spanish novels and cookbooks from the 1980s and 90s, a period in which Spanish cuisine gained an unprecedented level of international visibility and prominence. Using both cookbooks and novels published during the period, my project examines the tension between everyday and stylized food practices in order to explore how each text engages with questions of authorship and artistic creation. The first two chapters focus on cookbooks authored by alta cocina chefs as well as by gastronomic critics who have compiled signature recipes by the chefs. I consider how these texts engage with contemporary theories of authorship and creativity, establishing a complex relationship with the modern notion of author as individual, autonomous, and unique, a kind of genius figure. In Chapter 1, I analyze the ways in which the prologue writers and compilers of two cookbooks of the early 1980s, Carlos Delgado’s Cien recetas magistrales (1981) and the 1982 Grandes maestros de la nueva cocina vasca present the featured chefs as unique and autonomous creators as part of a process of establishing culinary art as a legitimate art form.

    Lauder Global Business Insight Report 2010: FIRST-HAND PERSPECTIVES ON THE GLOBAL ECONOMY Introduction First-hand Perspectives on the Global Economy In this special report, students from the Joseph H. Lauder Institute of Management & International Studies provide analysis of some of the most tantalizing economic, business and technology developments around the world. The articles offer new perspectives on the ever-changing global economy, including the growth of consumer markets in Brazil, Egypt and China, and the impact of the crisis on French luxury goods. The green economy’s growth worldwide is captured in articles on organic products in Germany, solar energy in Senegal and Japan’s eco-tech industry. The rise of the Russian gambling industry, sustainable tourism in Egypt and high-end gastronomy in Spain illustrate new frontiers in the leisure business. China’s coming of age is captured in articles on the development of its venture capital and mutual fund industries, enhanced awareness of social corporate responsibility, and the growth of second- and third- tier cities. New developments in infrastructure and financial services are reflected in pieces on the mobile Internet in Latin America, the rise to prominence of Spanish infrastructure management companies, and a new form of transparent, customer-driven banking. Taken together, the 16 articles offer perspectives on a range of dynamic economies and identify existing opportunities for conducting business within specific cultural, political and institutional contexts.

  • Sant Pau, in Sant Pol De Mar
    ENGLISH EDITION Carme Ruscalleda’s culinary creations lie halfway between tradition and avant-garde. Her gastronomic discourse is expressed through constant dialogue with traditional recipes, which she reinterprets with boundless imagination and scrupulous respect for the ingredients. This allows her to keep their flavours sharp, ensuring their individual identity is not lost in the mix: it is the essence of Ruscalleda’s signature style, the thing that distinguishes her from all others. In the summer of 1988, Carme Ruscalleda and Toni Balam opened their restaurant, Sant Pau, in Sant Pol de Mar. In their 30 years there, they offered diners a selection of Catalan and universal cuisine inspired by recipes and ingredients from right outside their back door: El Maresme. When the Tokyo Sant Pau opened in 2004, Ruscalleda’s discourse started to incorporate ingredients, methods and concepts from other cultures, especially from Japan. In 2009, she opened the Moments restaurant in Barcelona, headed by Raül Balam, who adds an ironic and provocative touch to his mother’s cuisine. In autumn 2018, the Sant Pau in Sant Pol de Mar closed its doors to the public. Carme Ruscalleda continues to work at Cuina Estudi, a laboratory of ideas through which she expresses her commitment to society and to healthy, fun and transparent cuisine that is always in tune with its surroundings.
