ASFS-AFHVS 2006 Program Boston University Place, Taste, and Sustenance: The Social Spaces of Food and Agriculture 2006 Joint Annual Meetings of the Association for the Study of Food and Society (ASFS) and the Agriculture, Food and Human Values Society (AFHVS) Wednesday, June 7 – Sunday June 11, 2006 Hosted by Boston University Gastronomy Program Conference Sponsors Association for the Study of Food and Society The Association for the Study of Food and Society (ASFS) is a multidisciplinary international organization dedicated to exploring the complex relationships among food, culture, and society. Its members, who approach the study of food from numerous disciplines in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences, as well as in the world of food beyond the academy, draw on a wide range of theoretical and practical approaches and seek to promote discussions about food which transgress traditional boundaries. President: Alice Julier, Smith College Vice President: Netta Davis, Boston University Treasurer and Membership Czar: Jennifer Berg, New York Universiy Secretary and Listserv Manager: Jonathan Deutsch, Kinsborough Community College, CUNY Journal Editor: Warren Belasco, University of Maryland Baltimore County Chair of Paper Prize Committee: Dr. Elaine Power Webmaster: Gary Allen, Independent Food Writer Agriculture, Food and Human Values Society AFHVS provides a continuing link among scholars working in cross-disciplinary studies of food and agriculture. From a base of philosophers, sociologists and anthropologists, AFHVS has grown to include scientists, scholars and practitioners in areas ranging from agricultural production and social science to nutrition policy and the humanities. AFHVS provides a forum for examining the values that underlie various visions of food and agricultural systems, and it offers members the opportunity to meet and discuss programs and research ideas of common interest. AFHVS encourages participation by the growing community of researchers and professionals exploring alternative visions of the food system, including regional food policies, community supported agriculture, and issues of local and global food security. President: Lorna Michael Butler, Iowa State University Vice President: Mary Hendrickson, University of Missouri Executive Secretary: Richard Haynes, University of Florida Council Members: James Bingen, Michigan State University Douglas Constance, Sam Houston State University Gilbert Gillespie, Cornell University Nancy Grudens-Schuck, Iowa State University Neva Hassanein, University of Montana Dana Jackson, Land Stewardship Project Marcy Ostrom, Washington State University Mike Skladany, Bemidji State University Acknowledgements This conference could not have happened without the generous support and contributions of many people. Kara Nielsen, Neil Coletta and Brittni Homer, of Boston University’s Program in Gastronomy dedicated many hours towards registration and formatting the conference program. I’m sure you will also see them tirelessly working during the conference, helping wherever needed. Alice Julier, Jennifer Berg, Jonathan Deutsch, Annie Hauck-Lawson, and Netta Davis were simply a delight to watch, as with expert creativity they made a sometimes-disparate group of papers into a coherent and exciting program (with a complex color-coding system that would make Martha green with envy). Jasper White and Jeff Dugan were instrumental in the planning and execution of the banquet. Our stomachs thank them. I’d also like to thank David Kessler for organizing the Shanty Singers and thank them all for donating their time and “singing for their supper”. Our ears thank them. Lynne Cooney, Exhibit Coordinator of Boston University’s School of Visual Arts was infectious with her enthusiasm when organizing the art exhibit “Sweetness.” Shaun Chavis of Boston University was tenuous in organizing the evenings of film. Joe York generously sent us his poignant documentaries and Giacom kept “The Real Dirt on Farmer John” within our budget. Deborah Higgins, of Boston University’s Catering on the Charles, was extremely patient with me, as I lamented over what to serve “foodies” and “aggies.” Jim Eisenberg, of the Reservations Department was likewise patient when I was late to submit paperwork, but kindly did not give our conference rooms away. The Boston Beer Company, AKA Sam Adams, was extraordinarily generous to help keep our thirsts quenched, and Ocean Spray, Cabot Cheese, Best Friend’s Cocoa, NECCO (New England Candy Company), Newman’s Own, Annie’s Naturals, Mountain Herbal Foods, Goodbaker, the National Bitter Melon Council, and Cape Cod Potato Chips also generously gave. A rousing thanks to Jason Sobocinski, Kara Nielsen, and Sandy Block all of Boston University for planning and organizing their tasting classes. The same thanks to Amy Trubek of UVM and George Howell of Terroir Coffees. For the tours, I’d like to thank the aforementioned Kara, Shaun & Neil, along with Jason Ryan, Katie Cavalier, BU alumni, Abigail Carroll and Ilona Baughman of Boston University, and Nancy Stutzman of the Culinary Historians of Boston for chaperoning us around Greater Boston. Ellen Shea, Schlesinger Library, and Louella Hill of Farm Fresh RI, Bik Ng, Michelle Topor, all of the folks at Farm Project, also put much work into the planning of the tours, along with Netta Davis, who made more phone calls than one would think possible to arrange these. The Class of MET ML631 worked diligently on preparing food for one of the receptions. Elizabeth Navisky, Kristina Nies, Kimberly Kuborn, Mark Banville, Amanda Mayo, Gary Wallis, Vivian Liberman, Ilona Baughman, Emily Schwab and Jennifer Feng, all of Boston University, volunteered many hours, helping whenever needed to make sure the conference ran as smoothly as possible. I would be amiss to not thank Boston University’s Metropolitan College. Dean Jay Halfond and Associate Dean Tanya Zlateva were incredibly supportive in hosting the conference Finally, this conference could not have been a success without the continued support, guidance, and a huge amount of help from Rebecca Alssid, Director, Programs in Gastronomy and Netta Davis, of the ASFS and Boston University.

  • Bebidas Prehispánicas El Maíz Como Parte Esencial De La
    BEBIDAS PREHISPÁNICAS EL MAÍZ COMO PARTE ESENCIAL DE LA COMIDA MEXICANA En México la cultura se manifiesta a través de diversas formas como la danzas, los cantos y las artesanías; sin embargo, una de las formas más complejas es la gastronomía. Probar la comida mexicana es adentrarse en un mundo lleno de historia, con influencias que han perdurado a través del tiempo. El maíz, alimento principal de los pueblos mesoamericanos, ha sido y continúa siendo el protagonista de la escena gastronómica de México. A continuación, una selección de bebidas prehispánicas que llevan como base el maíz: TASCALATE o TAXCALATE Proviene de la época maya. Era bebido para combatir el calor intenso de las selvas chiapanecas. Su nombre significa agua de tortilla. Es una bebida fría que lleva maíz, cacao, achiote y azúcar, todos en forma de polvo, que se mezclan con agua o con leche. Su consumo es común en el estado de Chiapas en el sureste mexicano. El Tascalate se enriqueció gracias a la canela llegada de las rutas de comercio occidentales. Si lo pruebas, estarás bebiendo la herencia viva de nuestros ancestros. POZOL Es una bebida ancestral del sur de México, sobre todo de los estado de Chiapas y Tabasco. Es una bebida espumosa hecha con maíz fermentado, mezclado con cacao y endulzado con azúcar de caña. Existen dos tipos de Pozol: el blanco y el de cacao. El primero es una herencia viva de los Zoques. Está hecho con maíz molido y en algunos casos con piloncillo u otros ingredientes como chile y sal. El Pozol de cacao, como su nombre lo indica, está hecho con cacao, maíz tostado, canela y azúcar.

Social Inequality and Diet: Understanding Stratified Meat Consumption Patterns in Germany © Laura Einhorn 2020 Published by IMPRS-SPCE International Max Planck Research School on the Social and Political Constitution of the Economy, Cologne imprs.mpifg.de ISBN: 978-3-946416-20-3 DOI: 10.17617/2.3256843 Studies on the Social and Political Constitution of the Economy are published online on imprs.mpifg.de. Go to Dissertation Series. Studies on the Social and Political Constitution of the Economy Abstract Based on a complementary mixed-methods design, the dissertation sheds light on the relationship between meat consumption practices and consumers’ socioeconomic po- sition. In a first step, two large-scale data sets, the German Einkommens- und Ver- brauchsstichprobe (EVS) 2013 and the Socioeconomic Panel (GSOEP) 2016, are used to establish empirical relationships between meat consumption practices and consumers’ socioeconomic position. Education and income do not show the same effects across social groups. Income most strongly affects the meat consumption patterns of low-in- come consumers, and income effects diminish as income increases. Furthermore, in- come does not make much of a difference for consumers with low levels of education. Meat-reduced and meat-free diets are also more common among students and among self-employed persons, even after controlling for income and education. Income does not necessarily influence the amount of meat that is consumed but the type and price of the meat purchased.

Talbott certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: SENSES OF TASTE: DUNCAN HINES AND AMERICAN GASTRONOMY, 1931-1962 ________________________________ Chairperson, Ann Schofield Date approved: June 5, 2013 iii ABSTRACT Duncan Hines was the first national restaurant critic in American history and a significant tastemaker in popular culture. This dissertation is an accounting of how senses of taste were formed in the middle of the twentieth century in the United States and how Duncan Hines aided this process. Conceiving of taste as a conjoining of physical sensations and cultural sense by mediators, I argue that Hines guided consumers and producers through the practice of making sense of momentous changes in society that influenced Americans’ eating habits as well as their awareness of American foodways. Hines gained and maintained cultural authority because his criticism networked developing mid-century trends including automobility, consumerism, middlebrow criticism, regionalism, suburbanization, the popularity of “eating out,” the professionalization of restaurants, the nationalization of media, the discourse of authenticity, and the continued evolution of technologies for the growing, processing, shipping, selling, and cooking of food.

  • Identity, Commitment, and Social Networks in Vegans
    “IT’S NOT JUST A DIET”: IDENTITY, COMMITMENT, AND SOCIAL NETWORKS IN VEGANS by ELIZABETH REGAN CHERRY (Under the Direction of David Smilde) ABSTRACT Using interviews with twenty-four self-defined vegans, this project analyzes the differing practices of punk and nonpunk vegans. Vegans are strict vegetarians who exclude all animal products from their diet. Punk vegans have strong vegan identities and are highly committed to veganism, but nonpunk vegans exhibit weaker vegan identities and are less committed to veganism. The different practices are shown to be dependent upon social networks and embeddedness in those networks. Punk vegans have strong social networks that are supportive of veganism, whereas nonpunks do not have such support from their social networks. This work contributes to sociological literature on subcultures and social movements, by focusing on an action-oriented subculture that is also a culture-oriented social movement. It also contributes to the literature on social networks, by showing the enduring effects of such networks on identity and commitment.
