"Wartime consumption of beer, wine, and spirits by civilians and soldiers in both North and South inflected debates over alcohol's effects on the individual body as well as the body politic. While drunkenness was a clear vice that threatened the war effort on both sides of the conflict, alcohol nevertheless was integral in military culture and medical departments for keeping soldiers healthy and fit for service. Bever shows how over time, the idea spread that sobriety was an essential trait of good, patriotic men, but this left Civil War veterans (many of whom continued to drink) outside the culture of acceptable masculine behavior at war's end"--

Arpenter les rues d'une « belle ville », exposer aux regards la « belle mécanique » d'une vieille voiture, partager entre amis un « beau souvenir » de vacances. La vie de tous les jours nous apporte les occasions les plus variées de mobiliser notre attention esthétique, de formuler des jugements de qualité. Mais que viennent sanctionner alors ces énonces esthétiques, dans ces circonstances qui ne les requièrent pas a priori ? Que faisons-nous, quelles relations tissons-nous avec les autres lorsque nous choisissons, fabriquons, « arrangeons » à notre goût les choses qui nous entourent ? Que dire de ce « goût » qui nous lie aux choses et aux gens ou qui, au contraire, nous en sépare et hiérarchise nos relations ? En se posant la question du « goût des belles choses » dans notre quotidien, les ethnologues rassemblent ici ont emprunté une autre voie que celles de la réflexion philosophique classique – centrée sur la définition d'une catégorie du beau – ou de la sociologie bourdieusienne – principalement intéressée par les fonctions sociales classificatrices du jugement de goût. C'est à partir d'exemples concrets – des films de famille au goût du vin, du hip-hop aux « beaux jardins » ou au cirque traditionnel – que les auteurs réunis dans cet ouvrage nous amènent à découvrir les multiples variations esthétiques des objets et des gestes qui constituent le cadre de notre vie quotidienne.

The old adage "you are what you eat" has never seemed more true than in this era, when ethics, politics, and the environment figure so prominently in what we ingest and in what we think about it. Then there are connoisseurs, whose approaches to food address "good taste" and frequently require a language that encompasses cultural and social dimensions as well. From the highs (and lows) of connoisseurship to the frustrations and rewards of a mother encouraging her child to eat, the essays in this volume explore the complex and infinitely varied ways in which food matters to all of us.
