Abstract

Alcohol use has a long and ubiquitous history. The prevailing tendency to view alcohol merely as a 'social problem' or the popular notion that alcohol only serves to provide us with a 'hedonic' high, masks its importance in the social fabric of many human societies both past and present. To understand alcohol use, as a complex social practice that has been exploited by humans for thousands of years, requires cross-disciplinary insight from social/cultural anthropologists, archaeologists, historians, psychologists, primatologists, and biologists. 0This multi-disciplinary volume examines the broad use of alcohol in the human lineage and its wider relationship to social contexts such as feasting, sacred rituals, and social bonding. Alcohol abuse is a small part of a much more complex and social pattern of widespread alcohol use by humans. This alone should prompt us to explore the evolutionary origins of this ancient practice and the socially functional reasons for its continued popularity. The objectives of this volume are: (1) to understand how and why nonhuman primates and other animals use alcohol in the wild, and its relevance to understanding the social consumption of alcohol in humans; (2) to understand the social function of alcohol in human prehistory; (3) to understand the sociocultural significance of alcohol across human societies; and (4) to explore the social functions of alcohol consumption in contemporary society.0'Alcohol in Humans' will be fascinating reading for those in the fields of biology, psychology, anthropology, archaeology, as well as those with a broader interest in addiction.

Abstract

Dans une grande synthèse qui s'étend de la période antique à nos jours, Didier Nourrisson, historien spécialiste de la nourriture et de la gastronomie, dresse une histoire du vin vivante et colorée. Plus qu'un simple produit fermenté issu du raisin, le vin est un révélateur de la société et de son temps. Il tisse les liens entre les hommes, reconstitue un marqueur social, un enjeu économique, culturel et, plus récemment, de santé publique.Suivant une démarche qui s'appuie sur le regard du consommateur et non sur celui du producteur – comme on le ferait plus traditionnellement –, Didier Nourrisson suit les évolutions des mœurs et les modifications du vin lui-même : car le vin antique et ses modes de consommation n'ont rien à voir avec le vin moderne. Grace à son histoire du vin, Didier Nourrisson éclaire d'une plume enlevée un champ historiographique encore en friche.
