Modern nutrition science is usually considered to have started in the 1840s, a period of great social and political turmoil in western Europe. Yet the relations between the production of scientific knowledge about nutrition and the social and political valuations that have entered into the promotion and application of nutritional research have not yet received systematic historical attention. The Science and Culture of Nutrition, 1840-1940 for the first time looks at the ways in which scientific theories and investigations of nutrition have made their impact on a range of social practices and ideologies, and how these in turn have shaped the priorities and practices of the science of nutrition. In these reciprocal interactions, nutrition science has affected medical practice, government policy, science funding, and popular thinking. In uniting major scientific and cultural themes, the twelve contributions in this book show how Western society became a nutrition culture.

This book looks at the way in which food was employed in Greek and Roman literature to impart identity, whether social, individual, religious or ethnic. In many instances these markers are laid down in the way that foods were restricted, in other words by looking at the negatives instead of the positives of what was consumed. Michael Beer looks at several aspects of food restriction in antiquity, for example, the way in which they eschewed excess and glorified the simple diet; the way in which Jewish dietary restriction identified that nation under the Empire; the way in which Pythagoreans den

Saviez-vous que le Christmas pudding est une recette impériale, composée de rhum jamaïcain, de raisins secs d'Australie, de sucre des Antilles, de cannelle de Ceylan, de clous de girofle de Zanzibar, d'épices d'Inde et de brandy de Chypre ? Que le nuớc mắm fut introduit en Europe à la faveur de la Première Guerre mondiale, lorsque le Gouvernement général de Saïgon en fit venir pour approvisionner les nombreux travailleurs indochinois employés sur le Vieux Continent ? Que le café a d'abord été éthiopien avant d'être un produit mondialisé ? Qu'un des symboles de l'américanisation, le ketchup, est aujourd'hui confectionné en grande partie à partir de concentré de tomates chinois ? Que le raki, ce "lait de lion" dont raffolait Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, a attendu l'année 2009 pour devenir la boisson nationale de la Turquie ? Deux ans après le Magasin du Monde, Pierre Singaravélou et Sylvain Venayre ont convié historiennes et historiens à l'écriture d'une histoire du monde par les produits alimentaires. Des frites au parmesan, de la chorba au ceviche en passant par la margarine, ces aliments, tantôt simples, tantôt savamment préparés, nous permettent de comprendre, au plus près de nos pratiques intimes, la mondialisation et ses limites. Un savoureux voyage dans la grande épicerie du monde.

Throughout history, food has done more than simply provide sustenance. It has acted as a tool of social transformation, political organization, geopolitical competition, industrial development, military conflict and economic expansion. In An Edible History of Humanity Tom Standage serves up a hugely satisfying account of ways in which food has, indirectly, helped to shape and transform societies around the world. It is a dazzling account of gastronomic revolutions from pre-history to the present.

The archaeologies of food and warfare have independently developed over the past several decades. This volume aims to provide concrete linkages between these research topics through the examination of case studies worldwide. Topics considered within the book include: the impacts of warfare on the daily food quest, warfare and nutritional health, ritual foodways and violence, the provisioning of warriors and armies, status-based changes in diet during times of war, logistical constraints on military campaigns, and violent competition over subsistence resources. The diversity of perspectives included in this volume may be a product of new ways of conceptualizing violence—not simply as an isolated component of a society, nor as an attribute of a particular societal type—but instead as a transformative process that is lived and irrevocably alters social, economic, and political organization and relationships. This book highlights this transformative process by presenting a cross-cultural perspective on the connection between war and food through the inclusion of case studies from several continents. .

Food and feasting are increasingly recognized as having played a prominent role in the emergence of social hierarchies and the negotiation of power. Given the culinary nature of feasts, the archaeological visibility of such events is increased by the use of containers for both food preparation and consumption. The papers in this volume examine the commensal politics of early states and empires and offer a comparative perspective on how food and feasting have figured in the political calculus of archaic states in both the Old and New Worlds. The contributors provide important new insights into the strategies of early statecraft and the role of pots as political tools by focusing on questions such as: -What was the nature of the relationship between food, power, status, and identity in the context of early states? -Was feasting a universally important element in the construction of state power? -How do archaeologically discernible patterns of state feasting compare cross-culturally and through time?
