"The Invention of Taste provides a detailed overview of the development of taste, from ancient times to the present. At the heart of the book is an intriguing question: why did the sensory attribute of human taste become a social metaphor and aesthetic value for judging cultural qualities of art, fashion, cuisine and other social constructions? Unique amongst the senses, taste is at once a biologically derived sense, private, personal and individual, yet also a sensibility which can be acquired, shared, and communicated. Exploring the many factors that defined the evolution of taste -- from medieval morals and medicine to social and cultural philosophy, the rise of aesthetics, birth of fashion, branding trends, and luxury worship in the age of mass consumption -- Luca Vercelloni's ambitious text provides readers with an outstanding introduction to the subject, making it the cultural history of taste. Now available for the first time in English, Taste features a new final chapter and a preface by series editor David Howes. Rich in detail and examples, this interdisciplinary work is an important read for students and researchers in sensory studies, philosophy, sociology and cultural studies, as well as gastronomy, fashion, design, and branding."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

"For a concise edition of his legendary arts dictionary of information and opinion, the distinguished critic and arts historian Richard Kostelanetz selects entries from the 2018 third edition. Typically he provides intelligence unavailable anywhere else, no less in print than online, about a wealth of subjects and individuals. Focused upon what is truly innovative and excellent, Kostelanetz also ranges widely with insight and surprise, including appreciations of artistic athletes such as Muhammad Ali and the Harlem Globetrotters and such collective creations as Las Vegas and his native New York City. Continuing the traditions of cheeky high-style Dictionarysts, honoring Ambrose Bierce and Samuel Johnson (both with individual entries), Kostelanetz offers a "reference book" to be enjoyed, not only in bits and chunks but continuously as one of the ten books someone would take if he or she planned to be stranded on a desert isle"--

Les ambitions et apories de la représentation esthétique du monde sont choses fort courues, multiples, variées et ancestrales. L'homme imite, fabrique, sculpte, peint, écrit, danse, joue, chante le réel sans que jamais l'opération soit totalement satisfaisante : les critiques aussitôt fusent, les rectificatifs successifs des artistes et penseurs de l'art se superposent bientôt en un feuilleté théorique et pratique dénonçant l'écart irréductible (lui-même objet de pensée) qui sépare l'homme du réel. Les enjeux de la représentation traversent absolument toute la culture occidentale : il fallait oser se confronter au gigantisme et avec modestie. C'est pourquoi sans doute le spectre notionnel couvert par l'anthologie des textes réunis par Pierre Glaudes, professeur à l'Université de Toulouse-Le Mirail sous le titre La Représentation dans la littérature et les arts atteste d'une démarche qui se veut plus encyclopédique que philosophique, et sans doute plus didactique qu'essentiellement théorique. L'ouvrage est à la fois conçu comme une somme de textes fondamentaux et d'une utilité pédagogique évidente dans des domaines aussi divers que, pour la littérature, la " rhétorique " (Jean-François Louette), le " théâtre " (Annick Brillant-Annequin et Pierre Pasquier), le " récit " ( Daniel Sangsue et Michel Vanoosthuyse), la " poésie " (Chistian Doumet et Hervé Nicolet), " littérature et société " (Henri Leroux, Alain Pessin et Lise Quéffélec) et, pour les arts, la " représentation picturale " (Jean-Charles Gateau), la " photographie " ( Daniel Bougnoux, Fabian Da Costa, Pierre Glaudes), le " cinéma " (Jean-Pierre Bertin-Maghit), " Musique et opéra " ( Bertrand Vibert, Christian Doumet). Bien sûr, le découpage générique s'avère quelque peu arbitraire, comme l'attestent de nombreux recoupements d'un chapitre à l'autre. Reste qu'on circule agréablement entre les textes anthologiques, reliés entre eux par un fil conducteur dont a essayé ci-dessous de rendre compte.
