Full textAbstract:
Dietetics, as a profession, was shaped by the social and historical conditions from which it emerged in the 1800s. The professional narrative and socialization process which has been passed down since then has become outdated and a revision would benefit practitioners, academics, colleagues and patients alike. By using personal narrative to place one dietitian’s story within the larger collective story, this paper encourages members of the dietetic profession to work together to build a dietetics imaginary. The shared construction of a dietetics imaginary could be accomplished by moving out of and away from our familiar ways of being, by welcoming our differences and by inviting dialogue with others working in connected areas, such as food security. The discourse on food in our new professional narrative could include deeply personal, cultural and nurturing dimensions of a safe and democratic food system.

Full textAbstract:
A few years ago, Camus & Lima (2002) wrote an essay to stimulate ecologists to think about how we define and use a fundamental concept in ecology: the population. They concluded, concurring with Berryman (2002), that a population is ‘a group of individuals of the same species that live together in an area of sufficient size to permit normal dispersal and/or migration behaviour and in which population changes are largely the results of birth and death processes’. They pointed out that ecologists often forget ‘to acknowledge that many study units are neither natural nor even units in terms of constituting a population system’, and hence claimed that we ‘require much more accuracy than in past decades in order to be more effective to characterize populations and predict their behaviour’. They stated that this is especially necessary ‘in disciplines such as conservation biology or resource pest management, to avoid reaching wrong conclusions or making inappropriate decisions’. As a population ecologist and conservation biologist I totally agree with these authors and, like them, I believe that greater precision and care is needed in the use and definition of ecological terms. The point I wish to stress here is that we ecologists tend to forget that when we use statistical tools to infer results from our sample to a population we work with what statisticians term ‘imaginary’, ‘hypothetical’ or ‘potential’ popula-tions. As Zar (1999) states, if our sample data consist of 40 measurements of growth rate in guinea pigs “the population about which conclusions might be drawn is the growth rates of all the guinea pigs that conceivably might have been administered the same food supplement under identical conditions”. Such a population does not really exist, and hence it is considered a hypothetical or imaginary population. Compare that definition with the population concept that would be in our minds when performing such measurements. We would probably assume that our study population consisted of pigs (not the growth rates of pigs!) and probably all the pigs at the farm we were sampling, rather than the all the growth rates of the pigs that might conceivably have been administered the same food. We overlook the fact that we are using the statistical tools to try to estimate ecological population para-meters (and test specific hypotheses on the values of these population parameters) but that the ecological population which is in our minds and the statistical (imaginary) population of our tests need not necessarily be the same (and most often are not). So, to avoid wrong inferences (with wide-ranging consequences if we are dealing with decision-making processes) we should do all we possibly can to ensure that our natural populations are as similar as possible to the imaginary populations of statisticians, or at least we should discuss our results within the framework in which our inference was developed. Statistics is not an ad hoc tool invented for us, but rather a tool that we have borrowed from statisticians for our purposes. We should always keep this in mind.

Full textAbstract:
There have been calls for a shift of focus toward the political and power-laden aspects of transitioning toward socially equitable global supply chains. This article offers an empirically grounded response to these calls from a critical realist stance in the context of global food supply chains. We examine how an imaginary for sustainable farming structured around an instrumental construction of empowerment limits what is viewed as permissible, desirable, and possible in global food supply chains. We adopt a multimodal critical discourse analysis to examine the sustainable farming imaginary for smallholder farmers constructed by one large organization, Unilever, in a series of videos produced and disseminated on YouTube. We expose the underlying mechanisms of power and marginalization at work within the sustainability imaginary and show how ‘empowerment’ has the potential to create new dependencies for these farmers. We recontextualize the representations to show that while the imaginary may be commercially feasible, it is less achievable in terms of empowering smallholder farmers.

AbstractIn this essay, Kim Niewolny, current President of AFHVS, responds to the 2020 AFHVS Presidential Address given by Molly Anderson. Niewolny is encouraged by Anderson’s message of moving “beyond the boundaries” by focusing our gaze on the insurmountable un-sustainability of the globalized food system. Anderson recommends three ways forward to address current challenges. Niewolny argues that building solidarity with social justice movements and engendering anti-racist praxis take precedence. This work includes but is not limited to dismantling the predominance of neoliberal-fueled technocratic productivism in agricultural science and policy while firmly centering civil society collective action and human rights frameworks as our guiding imaginary for racial, gender, environmental, and climate justice possibilities for sustainable food systems praxis. She concludes by exploring the epistemic assertion to push beyond our professional and political imaginaries to build a more fair, just, and humanizing food system.

Full textAbstract:
This article addresses the need for more engagement between the alternative food movement and the food labor movement in the United States. Drawing on the notion of agrarian imaginary, I argue for the need to break down divides between producer and consumer, rural and urban, and individual and community based approaches to changing the food system. I contend that farmworker-led consumer-based campaigns and solidarity movements, such as the Coalition of Immokalee Workers’ (CIW) current Campaign for Fair Food, and The United Farmworkers’ historical grape boycotts, successfully work to challenge this imaginary, drawing consumers into movement-based actions. Based on ethnographic fieldwork with farmworkers and farmworker advocates in California and Florida, this research illustrates the possibilities for alternative food movement advocates and coalitions to build upon farmworker-led campaigns and embrace workers as leaders.

Full textAbstract:
Le politiche neoliberali, la diffusione delle nuove tecnologie digitali e le innovazioni delle forme organizzative del lavoro hanno prodotto una transizione fondamentale verso un'economia basata sulla produzione a un'economia basata sui servizi. Nella società post-fordista, i sistemi socio-economici sono basati sulla produzione, riproduzione e sul consumo di informazioni e conoscenze. Ciò ha trasformato la natura stessa del lavoro che è caratterizzato da pratiche lavorative individualizzate, interconnesse e altamente performative. Questo ha generato la creazione di un numero crescente di start-up digitali radicate nell'ideologia californiana. Il presente lavoro mira a esplorare la natura multiforme dell'economia ‘food start-up’ da tre diverse prospettive teoriche: l’immaginato sul futuro, le vocazioni imprenditoriali e le pratiche di valutazione finanziaria. La prima prospettiva mi consente di descrivere come gli start-uppers creano proiezioni narrative sulle economie future e su come loro cercano di colmare il divario tra il presente e un futuro imprevedibile. La seconda spiega in quali luoghi e attraverso quali pratiche gli start-uppers sviluppano ed eseguono specifiche attitudini imprenditoriali. La terza si focalizza sulle dinamiche e sugli assets che influenzano il valore finanziario delle start-ups. Coerentemente con questo quadro teorico, la strategia metodologica adottata si basa sugli ‘inventive methods’ all’interno di un approccio mixed methods. Ho combinato diverse tecniche metodologiche come l'etnografia, interviste semi-strutturate e tecniche di digital methods. Questo lavoro ha mostrato come le economie immaginate e le vocazioni imprenditoriali influenzano le valutazioni finanziarie. Il valore economico non è basato su metriche quantitative e sul calcolo probabilistico. Ma, da un lato, il ruolo dell'immaginario economico è necessario per agire in un contesto economico incerto in modo consapevole. D'altro canto, le attitudini imprenditoriali rappresentano il principale asset su cui si basano queste valutazioni finanziarie. In altre parole, gli start-uppers devono dimostrare attraverso performance pubbliche che possiedono le capacità per avere successo. Questo gli consente di ricevere investimenti. Pertanto, le aspettative su un futuro immaginato e le performance della ‘chiamata imprenditoriale’ sono le fonti di valore finanziario nell'economia start-up.The neoliberal policies, the spread of new digital technologies and organizational innovations have produced a fundamental transition in advanced industrial from a manufacturing-based to a services- driven economy. In the post-fordist society, socio-economic systems are based on the production, reproduction, and consumption of information and knowledge. This has also transformed the nature of labor: venture labor is characterized by individualized, networked and highly performative working practices. This has generated a wave of digital ventures which are rooted in the entrepreneurial faith of Californian ideology. The present work aim to explore the multifaceted nature of the food start-up economy from three different theoretical perspectives: the imagined futures, the entrepreneurial vocation and ethics, and the financial evaluation practices. The first perspective allows me to describe how start-uppers create narrative projections about future economies and how they bridge the gap between the present and an unpredictable future. The second explains in which places and through which practices the start-uppers develop and perform specific entrepreneurial attitudes. The third focuses on the dynamics and assets which affect the financial value of the start- ups. Coherently with this theoretical frame, the methodological strategy adopted is based on the inventive methods strategy within a mixed methods approach. I combined different methodological techniques such as ethnography, semi-structured interviews and digital methods techniques. According to the findings, this work has shown how the imagined economies and the entrepreneurial vocations affect the financial evaluations of the start-ups. The economic value is not based on quantitative metrics and on the probabilistic calculation. On one hand, the role of economic imaginary is necessary for acting in an uncertain economic context in a conscious way. On the other hand, the entrepreneurial attitude represents the main asset on which these evaluations are based. In other words, start-uppers have to demonstrate through public performances that they have the capacities to be successful in order to receive financial support. Thus, fictional expectations and the performances of the ‘calling’ are the sources of financial value in start-up economy.

Full textAbstract:
L’étude du thème de la nourriture conduit à analyser trois fonctions de l’alimentation dans l’œuvre de Cohen. La première, indissociable du cadre de la diégèse, concerne le cérémonial inhérent à la mise en scène des repas. Selon qu’ils se déroulent dans le milieu occidental ou au sein du groupe des Valeureux, ces moments de consommation débouchent rapidement sur une caractérisation des personnages et sur une mise à jour des liens socio-culturels qui les unissent ou les séparent. Partager un déjeuner ne constitue donc pas un simple geste de convivialité. C’est une action qui peut tendre vers la spiritualité d’une communion ou consacrer la rupture irrémédiable avec autrui. Mais c’est lorsque l’on quitte la table pour s’intéresser aux faits alimentaires ponctuels, multiples dans l’œuvre, que la nourriture de Cohen devient riche de significations. Constituant un réseau de signes symboliques qui affleurent dans les textes, l’alimentation correspond à une nouvelle forme de langage qui exprime les obsessions les plus intimes. Mère, religion, amour, réflexion sur le temps et sur l’absurdité de la vie, tous les domaines s’évaluent à l’aune de la nourriture : celle du passé et des souvenirs — tour à tour regrettée ou indésirable — celle du présent qui oscille entre le plaisir de l’instant et une lassitude existentielle, celle d’un futur incertain, qui ne garantit qu’une promesse de désillusions. De cet univers aux sombres perspectives émerge pourtant une figure de « vainqueur éternel », celle de Mangeclous. Le personnage burlesque est, en effet, celui qui a le dernier mot. Capable de sublimer l’art de la cuisine, il élabore une poétique aux accents parodiques qui se joue de la farce de l’existence. C’est en passant par la création de cet ogre mythique que l’auteur confère au champ alimentaire son unique et véritable richesseFocusing on the theme of food in Albert Cohen’s works allows us to identify three basic functions for food. The first function, which cannot be dissociated from the diegesis, has to do with the ceremony inherent in the staging of meals. Whether they take place in a Western setting or within the group of the Valeureux, these episodes of consumption often lead to a characterization of the protagonists and a presentation of the sociocultural links that both unite and separate them. Sharing a meal is much more than just enjoying a moment of conviviality. It can as easily result in a spiritual communion as in an irreversible break with someone else. Yet, food takes on a deeper meaning when studied in its multiple punctual manifestations rather than within the context of meals. Coalescing into a network of symbolic signs, food offers a new form of language through which the most intimate obsessions can be expressed.Motherhood, religion, love, time or the absurdity of life are so many themes that can be analyzed through the motif of food – be it the food of the past (either desired or scorned), the food of the present, which both provides a brief moment of pleasure and occasions an existential ennui, or the food of an uncertain future, mostly synonymous with a feeling of disillusionment. Out of this universe of somber prospects,however, emerges the figure of Mangeclous, the “eternal victor.” Indeed the last word belongs to this burlesque character. In his ability to transcend the art of cooking, Mangeclous conjures up a poetics with parodic overtones that mocks the masquerade of existence. It is only in creating this mythical ogre that Cohen manages to imbue the motif of food with its true richness

Full textAbstract:
La littérature de jeunesse, qu’il s’agisse de romans, d’albums ou de bandes dessinées, met fréquemment son lectorat en présence de cartes qui sont autant spatialisations narratives que narrations spatialisées. L’exploration du fonds Jeanne Cappe, rassemblant des ouvrages édités de la fin des années 1940 au milieu des années 1970, et de productions contemporaines le confirme : la carte parcourt l’histoire et les genres de la littérature de jeunesse.La perspective à la fois synchronique et diachronique adoptée, ainsi que l’approche littéraire et iconographique, enrichie d’emprunts à la géographie, à l’histoire de la cartographie et à l’histoire de l’art, permet non seulement de réaliser une cartographie de la carte en littérature de jeunesse, mais également de tenter d’en dégager les enjeux rhétoriques, esthétiques et sur le plan de l’imaginaire.Finalement : que révèle la carte littéraire de la littérature de jeunesse et, réciproquement, que fait la littérature de jeunesse de la carte littéraire ?La première partie s’intéresse à la fonction éducative de la carte, abordant la réflexion sur la transmission de la géographie dans différents genres (roman scolaire, atlas, récit de voyage et roman d’aventures). Y est également traitée l’écriture cartographique de l’histoire, particulièrement par rapport à la manière dont la littérature de jeunesse exploite l’historicité de la carte dans les romans historiques, entre autres.La deuxième partie est consacrée à la matérialité de la carte afin de mettre en évidence ses liens avec l’histoire de la cartographie et la cartographie artistique. Cette étude de l’identité physique de la carte est révélatrice d’une multiplicité d’interactions dans lesquelles le corps et les sens (des personnages, par la mise en scène de l’expérience cartographique, et des lecteurs, par la manipulation et la consultation de l’ensemble formé par la carte et le texte) sont particulièrement sollicités.La troisième partie étudie la carte comme mise en image et en symbole, mise en mots et mise en scène. Ce constat d’une mise en représentation du monde amène à interroger la notion de vraisemblance et l’exploitation du langage cartographique dans la carte littéraire. Il conduit ensuite à s’intéresser à la présence de l’imaginaire littéraire au sein de l’imaginaire cartographique. Enfin, est envisagée la littérarisation de la carte comme manifestation d’une littérature en expansion sur l’espace de la carte.Les enjeux rhétoriques, esthétiques et liés à l’imaginaire sont transversaux aux trois parties : parce qu’il s’agit de cartes littéraires, la question du langage – des langages, puisqu’en elles se réalise la conjonction du langage cartographique et du langage littéraire – est au cœur d’interactions entre les objectifs discursifs, le style, la matérialité et l’imaginaire de la carteWhether it is thanks to novels, children’s picture books or comics, children’s literature readership is oftentimes presented maps that work as much as narrative spatializations as spatialised narrations. The examination of the Jeanne Cappe Collection, which gathers published works from the end of the 1940s to the mid-1970s, and the examination of contemporary productions, attest that maps travel across children’s literature’s history and genres.The synchronic and diachronic perspectives, as well as the literary and iconographic approaches, improved with geography, cartographic and art histories quotation, not only make it possible to create a cartography of the map in children’s literature, but also to try and single out its rhetorical, aesthetic and imaginary purposes.In the end, what does the literary map in children’s literature reveal and, on the contrary, what does children’s literature do to literary maps?The first chapter deals with the map’s educational function, discussing the transmission of geographic knowledge in several genres (school novels, atlas, travel stories, and adventure novels). The cartographic writing of the history is also studied, especially how children’s literature uses the map as a historical narrative device within historical novels, among other genres.The second chapter focuses on the map materiality, so as to highlight its connexion with cartography history and artistic cartography. Studying the map’s physical identity reveals how numerous are the interactions in which bodies and senses – the characters’, thanks to the cartographic experience dramatization – and the readers’, handling, manipulating and checking the map – and text-shaped system) are remarkably stirred.The third chapter analyses the map as translated into images, symbols, words or settings. Observing that the world is shaped into a kind of representation leads to question the very notion of verisimilitude and the use of the cartographic language in literary maps. It shows the way to examine the literary imaginary presence within the cartographic imaginary. The map turned into literature is eventually discussed as an expression of how literature expands onto the map territory.Being cross-disciplinary, the rhetorical, aesthetic and imaginary discussions are to be found in all of three chapters : for it deals with literary maps, the question of language – of languages, since they achieve the convergence of both the cartographic language and the literary language – is at the heart of interactions between discursive objectives, style, materiality and imaginary of the map

La presente tesis doctoral Los “retablos portátiles” peruanos: Las cajas de Imaginero
del siglo XIX. Antecedentes y Derivaciones, tiene por tema central el estudio de los referentes
formales, estilísticos y doctrinales de las cajas de imaginero peruanas del siglo XIX. Las
cajas de imaginero son un tipo de retablo portátil creado por los artistas andinos en el epígono
virreinal. Estas pequeñas cajitas de devoción ostentan una imaginería tributaria de los
programas de evangelización que generalmente representan imágenes que tienen por
modelos formales esculturas procesionales o antiguas estampas. Las más emblemáticas de
las cajas de imaginero del sur andino son las cajas de imaginero de Chucuito y los cajones
sanmarkos sanlucas. Las cajas de Chucuito representan a María Santísima en su advocación
de Candelaria y su modelo formal son las cajas marianas ligadas al culto a la Virgen de
Copacabana, que es también una Candelaria. La investigación surge ante la necesidad de establecer las formas de los retablos portátiles
europeos y americanos que migraron a las cajas de imaginero peruanas del siglo XIX y qué tan importantes fueron las devociones americanas en la construcción de la imaginería
cristiana andina. También es importante conocer la impronta de la convención tanto europea
como americana virreinal para el surgimiento de las cajas de imaginero peruanas del siglo
XIX. La hipótesis que guía este trabajo es comprobar que los trípticos europeos y los altares
portátiles dedicados a la Virgen de Copacabana, son los referentes formales de las cajas de
imaginero peruanas del siglo XIX, pero que los imagineros fueron los creadores de una obra
devocional de calidad artística pensada específicamente para la piedad andina. La presente
investigación tiene como objetivo principal identificar las formas e iconografía de los
trípticos: bizantinos, románicos, góticos e hispano filipinos que fueron referentes para los
retablos portátiles virreinales y las cajas de imaginero del siglo XIX, y demostrar que las
cajas de imaginero peruanas datadas alrededor del siglo XIX, estructuralmente están basadas
en una convención previa de la tradición europea, así como en la religiosidad americana
ligada al culto de la Virgen de Copacabana. Como objetivos específicos se plantea realizar un análisis comparativo basado en la forma, las estructuras y la convención iconográfica de los trípticos europeos, los retablos portátiles virreinales y las cajas de imaginero del siglo XIX y sus similares americanas. Se
busca establecer un método basado en el estudio crítico historiográfico comparado, y de
análisis formal, respaldados por la observación del arte “popular peruano" identificando
categorías propias que respondan al contexto peruano y latinoamericano, donde la obra de
arte sea la integración de forma y contenido ligada a su función sagrada.

En la ciudad de Lima se encuentra disperso un vasto legado patrimonial precolombino de canales, caminos y huacas, este subyace y en algunos casos asoma en el palimpsesto urbano, sin participar como un privilegio para el lugar, ni para la población que lo posee. Este trabajo de investigación busca visibilizar al patrimonio por su alcance de valor histórico y cultural como componentes de un sistema que domesticó un territorio desértico para transformarlo en un valle construido; lo que les permitió ocuparlo.
Al estar disperso, es un denominador común que deriva en una red de puntos simbólicos en el paisaje que pudiera ser parte del imaginario urbano, por lo que se define la estrategia de significar el lugar por el patrimonio presente o ausente, como condicionantes a tomar en cuenta en la operación y diseño del espacio público. Se elabora una guía con lineamientos generales en base a la configuración espacial, propia de cada componente precolombino. Esta guía se aplica en un proyecto piloto con el objetivo de validar las hipótesis planteadas.In the city of Lima there is a vast dispersed pre-Columbian patrimonial legacy of channels, roads and burial sites which underlie and, in some cases, show in the urban palimpsest, but that do not participate as a privilege for the place or the population who owns it. This investigation task seeks to make visible this patrimony for the sake of its historical and cultural value as the components of a system that domesticated a desertic territory to transform it into a viable valley that could be inhabited. Being dispersed is the common denominator that derives into a network of symbolic points in the landscape that could be part of an imaginary urban place, and this leads to define the strategy to give a meaning to the place based on the patrimony present and absent, as a precondition to take into consideration in the design of a public space. General guidelines are elaborated based on the spatial configuration of every pre-Columbian component. This guide of map is applied to a pilot project to validate the proposed hypothesis.

relación con la prevalencia de ciertos elementos raciales de la herencia colonial,
asociados a un deseo de mejorar la raza. El desarrollo de nuestro argumento consta de
cuatro partes. La primera corresponde a un análisis del discurso comercial de Saga
Falabella, indagando si este se articula con cierta utopía del blanqueamiento, retomando
categorías empleadas en la producción académica peruana. En segundo lugar, damos
cuenta de los procesos de transformación de las últimas décadas en Lima Norte a través
de sus imaginarios y, en particular, de sus hábitos de consumo. En la tercera sección se
analiza el imaginario social actual de los habitantes de Lima Norte y su relación con otros
factores como el racismo, clasismo y la aspiracionalidad. Por último, se presentan las
conclusiones, en las que sustentamos que hoy Lima Norte se encuentra en un proceso
complejo, en donde las motivaciones de consumo aún se ven influenciadas por algunos
elementos raciales de la herencia colonial, mientras se gestan nuevas actitudes hacia el consumo que persiguen tendencias juveniles-globales, nacionalistas y en donde
presuntamente el factor racial deja de ser (el más) relevante.

Full textAbstract:
Depuis la mise en place du PNNS (Programme National Nutrition Santé) en 2001 en France, chacun sait qu'il faut manger des légumes quotidiennement, et ce depuis le plus jeune âge, pour bénéficier d'une alimentation équilibrée. Dans le pays dont le « repas gastronomique » a été labellisé en 2010 par le comité intergouvernemental de l'UNESCO pour la sauvegarde du patrimoine immatériel de l'humanité, la culture alimentaire a donc vu, depuis une vingtaine d'années, sa tradition basée sur le goût et la commensalité, bouleversée par une approche de plus en plus fonctionnelle de l'alimentation, centrée sur la nutrition et la santé.Le mangeur français est, dans ce contexte, assailli de discours contradictoires sur l'alimentation, mais qui tendent pour la plupart à le responsabiliser et potentiellement à le culpabiliser. Imprégné d'une culture alimentaire de plaisir et de liberté, il subit un véritable bouleversement des valeurs liées à l'alimentation.On pourrait alors penser que les pratiques ont changé et que la consommation de légumes, aujourd’hui mise en valeur par les politiques de santé publiques, a fortement augmenté. Paradoxalement, ce n'est pas le cas. La dernière étude du CREDOC montre même qu’« en 2016 (…) on n’a jamais eu aussi peu de grands consommateurs de fruits et légumes, que ce soit chez les enfants ou les adultes. » (2017). Par ailleurs, « l’atteinte du repère de cinq fruits et légumes par jour se fait avant tout en consommant plus de fruits frais » (Ibid.).Or si les dernières études montrent une baisse générale de la consommation des légumes, les classes diplômées de la société sont les seules qui conservent une consommation plus forte, principalement de légumes frais. La question est alors de savoir si le légume ne serait pas en passe de devenir un nouvel aliment distinctif, concentrant les valeurs dominantes de notre société surmoderne (Augé, 1994) reprises à leur compte par les catégories « moyennes supérieures », telles la fraîcheur, la légèreté, le naturel, etc. Si l’on peut gager une diffusion des pratiques aujourd’hui minoritaires du haut de l’échelle sociale vers le bas, suivant par là les théories de l’innovation sociale observées au fil de l’histoire, il semble pertinent de s’intéresser aux freins et leviers, au-delà des conditions matérielles, de la consommation des légumes chez ces mangeurs.Pour comprendre, interpréter, analyser la consommation des légumes en France, il s’agit ici d’étudier l'imaginaire qu'ils déploient chez les mangeurs les plus consommateurs, car si « tout fait social doit être étudié sous l'angle matériel et sous l'angle mental » (Corbeau, Poulain, 2002), les paramètres du choix rationnel sont loin d'être suffisants, dans le cas de l'alimentation en général, et des légumes en particulier, pour comprendre leur faible consommation. Dans ce cadre, la consommation de légumes est appréhendée comme source de distinction et d’intégration sociale.A partir de l’enquête de terrain sur 20 mangeurs, restreinte en nombre mais étendue de par les multiples protocoles d’enquêtes déployés, issus de catégories socioprofessionnelles diplômées, il s’agit de comprendre le rapport entre l'expérience sensorielle et même polysensorielle, sensible (multimodale) attachée aux légumes et les représentations concomitantes.De l’expérience de dégustation à l’ « image du goût » (Boutaud, 2005) des légumes, en passant par le contexte et les modalités de leur consommation, l’idée est de saisir, sur le terrain et de façon très concrète, la manière dont les discours médiatiques nombreux sur les légumes, constitutifs des imaginaires sociaux sur le sujet, sont reçus, perçus, appropriés et plus ou moins intégrés dans les pratiques des mangeurs, eux-mêmes situés à la croisée d’un faisceau de facteurs favorables ou non à l’image des légumes, à différentes échelles, consciemment ou inconsciemmentSince the establishment of the PNNS (National Health Nutrition Program) in 2001 in France, everyone knows that we must eat vegetables daily, and from a very young age, to enjoy a balanced diet. In the country whose "gastronomic meal" was certified in 2010 by the UNESCO Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, the food culture has, for twenty years, seen its tradition based on on taste and commensality, disrupted by an increasingly functional approach to nutrition, focused on nutrition and health.The French eater is, in this context, beset by contradictory discourses on food, but which tend for the most part to make him responsible and potentially to make him feel guilty. Impregnated with a food culture of pleasure and freedom, it undergoes a real upheaval of the values related to food.One could then think that the practices have changed and that the consumption of vegetables, today highlighted by the public health policies, has strongly increased. Paradoxically, this is not the case. The latest CREDOC study even shows that "in 2016 (...) we have never had so many large consumers of fruits and vegetables, whether in children or adults. "(2017). In addition, "reaching the benchmark of five fruits and vegetables a day is primarily done by consuming more fresh fruit" (Ibid.).However, while the latest studies show a general decline in vegetable consumption, the certified classes of society are the only ones that maintain a higher consumption, mainly of fresh vegetables. The question then is whether the vegetable would not be on the way to becoming a new distinctive food, concentrating the dominant values of our super-modern society (Augé, 1994) taken over by the "upper middle" categories, such as freshness, lightness, naturalness, etc. If we can bet a diffusion of practices today minority from the top of the social ladder down, following the theories of social innovation observed throughout history, it seems relevant to be interested the brakes and levers, beyond the material conditions, the consumption of vegetables among these eaters.To understand, interpret and analyze the consumption of vegetables in France, it is a question here of studying the imaginary that they deploy among the most consuming eaters, because if "all social fact must be studied from the material and from the mental point of view "(Corbeau, Poulain, 2002), the parameters of rational choice are far from sufficient, in the case of food in general, and vegetables in particular, to understand their low consumption. In this context, the consumption of vegetables is understood as a source of distinction and social integration.From the field survey on 20 eaters, limited in number but extended by the multiple survey protocols deployed, from socioprofessional categories graduates, it is to understand the relationship between sensory experience and even polysensory, sensitive (multimodal) attached to vegetables and concomitant representations.From the tasting experience to the "image of taste" (Boutaud, 2005) of vegetables, through the context and the modalities of their consumption, the idea is to grasp, on the ground and in a very concrete way, the way in which the numerous media discourses on vegetables, constitutive of social imaginaries on the subject, are received, perceived, appropriate and more or less integrated into the practices of the eaters, themselves located at the crossroads of a bundle of favorable factors or not in the image of vegetables, at different scales, consciously or unconsciously

AbstractIn this chapter, we explore supply chains with an interest in the complex conjunctions of practice, values and effects that their underpinning modernist imaginary of “seamless circulation” precludes from view. The agricultural landscapes of northwest Victoria provide a compelling vantage from which to ground truth and trouble the idea of seamless circulation and relatedly the idea that disruptions are merely technical blips in otherwise well-oiled machines. Working between the interpretive lenses of Anna Tsing and Bernard Stiegler, supply chains emerge as artefacts of distinctive social formations, conduits of colonial capital power, and ultimately distancing mechanisms that separate people from places and each other. Yet supply chains are also imperfect and incomplete in their operations, and it is this observation that provides for creative responses and the hope of reinvigorating more grounded approaches to the production of food and practices of feeding.

The chapter attempts to look at food and its representation in media with a special focus on Punjab and its cuisine. The work locates important symbols pertaining to the food culture of Punjab in sites such as cookbooks and cinema, which interestingly mix traditional with contemporary representations of material life. The first section looks at the cultural expressions of Punjabi cuisine in cookbooks against the backdrop of the history of Punjab, its ancient ties, and cultural affiliations of the past. Questions of caste, gastro-ethnicity, and stereotyping are also examined. The second section attempts to review select Bollywood films in order to cast light onto the contemporary socio-cultural conceptions of Punjabi culture. The study concludes by observing the ways in which food emerges as a commodity spectacle through stories and ideas on the food of Punjab. The work is carried out in order to exemplify the role of food in the creation of a cultural imaginary and explore the subtle connection that food and food culture share with the multiple intersections of an individual's identity.

Full textAbstract:
Focuses on restaurants as one of the key spaces in contemporary global food culture that have recently acquired media visibility in the practices imaginary of educated consumers, allowing them to convey their identities in terms of cultural capital, connoisseurship, and cosmopolitanism. Restaurants appear as places where chefs express their skills and creativity, in constant negotiations with their customers’ preferences, media pressure, and business priorities. Big Night (Stanley Tucci and Campbell Scott, 1996) and other movies that focus on restaurants and chefs, like Dinner Rush (Giraldi, 2000), Waiting (McKittrick, 2005), Today’s Special (Kaplan, 2009), Hundred-Food Journey (Lasse Hallström, 2014), and Chef (Jon Favreau, 2014), assume a critical point of view vis-à-vis mainstream U.S. food culture, revealing the tensions, contradictions, and inequalities in food business. However, their distribution and self-representation through marketing reiterate the stereotypes the films appear to target. By focusing on restaurants and the chefs that command them, while playing with the gender, class, and ethnic identities of the protagonists, as well as their social status, food films help to construct notions of good taste and citizenship while defining educated consumers by appealing to their sense of cultural capital.

Full textAbstract:
Feeding has been subjected to a process of medicalization throughout history that has caused its perception to be assimilated to the intake of nutrients. However, it is necessary to conceive feeding as a total social phenomenon. That is to say, a phenomenon that impregnates food and the practices that surround it with different meanings. It is therefore necessary to understand how certain social dynamics (secularization, rationalization, bureaucratization) have modified the way we feed ourselves and how we interpret food itself. This, in turn, has generated a series of negative meanings that have influenced how we perceive the body and the image of people. The calculability of nutrients and an unrealistic and unattainable image canon for people have been installed. Thus, a social food imaginary has been created based on a whole series of myths that are transmitted through social networks and that produce that the society in which we live has become an obesogenic and lipophobic society. It is therefore necessary to understand how the social imaginary of fat and fatness has been constructed in order to understand how people perceive their body image and how this can be altered.

Full textAbstract:
The epilogue explores the fate of Italian transnational migrant marketplaces after World War II. It connects today’s popularity of Fernet con Coca, considered Argentina’s national drink, to the historical movements of Italians and trade goods in the early-twentieth century. The Epilogue argues that due to Italy’s postwar “economic miracle,” the socio-economic mobility of second- and third-generation Italians and changes in the status of Italian food worldwide, migrant marketplaces came to exist increasingly in the imaginary and in commodified form, rather than in the actual, embodied movements of Italians and foods from Italy. However, imagined migrant marketplaces continue to play a critical role in the performance of ethnicity for descendants of Italians and in the consumption of Italianità for non-migrants in the U.S. and Argentina.

Full textAbstract:
A competition model among mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) was developed to predict the environmental impacts of mussels under a coastal floating platform, which is called Mega-Float. The model describes the dynamics of mussels as controlled by competition for space and food availability. The model consists of a physiological growth submodel based on the Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) model and a competition submodel for space and food. First, the parameter values in the physiological submodel are calibrated by using observations on growth of mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) cultivated in the north-west coast of Spain. Then the competition submodel for space and food among mussels is described as a function of the mussel density, and is calibrated by using observations on time variation in the population number of the mussels on the cultivation ropes. The population number of mussels starts with 5,000 individuals per meter and some mussels are shoved to the inner layer of the mussel bank as mussels grow. This undoubtedly leads to food shortage and starvation for them due to their unfavorable position. As a result, some mussels are starved to death and about half of the remaining mussels are inactive in the inner layer of the mussel bank. The competition model can predict well the decrease in the population number of mussels at the cultivation ropes. Finally, the competition model is combined with three-dimensional marine ecosystem model and numerical simulation is conducted to predict the growth of the mussel bank on the under-surface of an imaginary Mega-Float, which is anchored in the head of Tokyo Bay. It was revealed that about two-thirds of mussels are inactive in the inner layer of the mussel bank and do not contribute to food ingestion rate of the mussel bank.

Extended reality (XR) technologies, particularly those derived from virtual reality (VR), offer promising alternatives in so far as they foster new social contexts that must be analyzed and systematized. The virtual world-centered Metaverse began to spotlight educational and social interaction, with possibilities to break the boundaries between real-world and virtual spaces that help escape from isolation constraints. The necessity for alternative solutions became evident in times of isolation, where physical interactions were limited. In July 2021, during the restrictions imposed by the Covid 19 pandemic, researchers from the University of Porto in Portugal created a virtual event called “Surviving a Ph.D: Tec and Arts Experiences,” aimed at helping doctoral students face the challenges of conducting lengthy and sometimes solitary investigations. The emotional problem related to the isolation of investigators was already evident in previous research, and the pandemic scenario served as an even greater warning to professionals such as scientists, in which alternative contact solutions are very welcome. To achieve the purpose, a three-dimensional virtual environment was developed, among other things, that allowed providing, in addition to presentations and discussion panels, an immersive experience to promote an instance of dialogue and discussion around the problems that occurred in doctoral programs. Attendees were invited to participate in scheduled activities in an environment developed in Mozilla Hubs, a web open-source platform that allows creating multi-user virtual spaces under a first-person game mechanic. The scenarios produced (also called rooms) sought to reflect the idea of isolation by incorporating the imaginary of four interconnected islands, which were developed in the Spoke editor provided by Mozilla. These islands housed a particular activity in a specific virtual space (Lobby, Conference Area, Culture and Leisure, and Food for thought area). Likewise, the participants had to choose an avatar with which they could visit the facilities provided for the event. The results showed that, unlike those platforms that we could consider linear, such as Zoom, Google Meet, or even YouTube, where interactions occur sequentially, virtual environments promote group relationships that can occur simultaneously and asynchronously. Likewise, positive effects were observed in the registered impressions of concurrent visitors from twenty-three countries worldwide from five continents, who evaluated the rooms as modern, innovative, fun, and friendly. In this article, we expose the antecedents, the methodology, and the results of this experience to contribute to the systematized knowledge around these new information technologies that, from the Metaverse, invite us to rethink ourselves as social beings.

The goal of this project was to develop a device to assist a paraplegic or quadriplegic in moving from the floor to a wheelchair with the assistance of only one person. A collapsible and portable device resembling a chair into which the individual can be strapped was developed for this purpose. The device separates into four pieces: the high back, the right leg with an attached foot rest, the left leg with an attached seat, and the top handle. The right and left legs were curved. Two ratcheting rear legs are placed on the back side of the unit for additional support. The device and its components are shown in Figures 1 and 2, respectively. The unit is collapsible into 40″ by 18″ as shown in Figure 3. During use, the client would lay on their side on the floor with their legs bent as if sitting in an imaginary chair. The unfolded and assembled chair would then be placed next to them and safety straps would be placed around the client’s chest, waist, and shins. The client and chair would then be rolled so that the client would be lying on their back. Once in this position, the assistant could lift the tall back of the chair to bring the client to an upright sitting position at wheelchair height.
