(一) 去年夏天,苗师傅在《三联生活周刊》专栏上写了一篇《饥饿间奏曲》,围绕食物与社会化这个主题,推荐了三本书,其中一本就是《甜与权力》。 苗师傅在介绍这本书时,提到了一个现象,几百年前,糖在英国还是奢侈品,只有国王和贵族才能享用,而到了20世纪,糖已经成为...
评分终于知道英国菜为什么那么难吃了!因为英国本土资源贫乏,老百姓长期处于极度贫穷中,穷的地方,吃得都不会太讲究的。 英国本土出产的只有小麦(一半面积可种,另外一半地方由于土地过于贫瘠而不行)、黑麦、大麦、豆子(他们没有发明豆腐,所以只能煮着吃,口感问题解决不了...
评分如果问一个人你喜欢甜的食物吗?喜欢吃糖吗?你有没有被我这个怪蜀黍的怪问题雷到囧?但我们,或者大多数人为什么喜欢吃糖,难道仅仅因为它是甜的吗?这个问题好矫情。 Chocolate lady Sidney. W. Mintz就食糖的现代史写下了鸿篇巨著—《Sweetness and Power》(甜蜜与权...
评分蔗糖在1650年之前是稀有品,1650-1750是奢侈品,1750-1850是必需品。贸易从重商主义到自由市场的转变,自由意味着选择。。然而当产生这一选择的环境本身不是随意挑选的,选择意味着失去自由。换句话说,人根据其所想所需在吃的方面做出选择,只有参考了人的偏好和渴望,参考了...
评分我们都有过这样的经历,在心情十分低落的时候,吃一块糖,让阴沉的生活多了一丝明媚,也许是心理的作用,也许是糖本身带给我们的愉悦感。糖在我们的生活中早已习以为常,如果不是西敏司这样一本专著,我们已很难去把这种普通日常体验和权力、资本主义这些宏大的事情联系在...

A fascinating persuasive history of how sugar has shaped the world, from European colonies to our modern diets. In this eye-opening study, Sidney Mintz shows how Europeans and Americans transformed sugar from a rare foreign luxury to a commonplace necessity of modern life, and how it changed the history of capitalism and industry. He discusses the production and consumption of sugar, and reveals how closely interwoven are sugar's origins as a "slave" crop grown in Europe's tropical colonies with is use first as an extravagant luxury for the aristocracy, then as a staple of the diet of the new industrial proletariat. Finally, he considers how sugar has altered work patterns, eating habits, and our diet in modern times.
We're what we eat
评分Anthro211读过,当时比较开眼界,自此开始读食物史和环境史的书…
评分2018 Anthropology.
评分a marvelous account of the material life and the spirit behind it.eventually some truth does lie in the surface of things itself.every move is for some certain reason yet it's tricky who justify the reason in what way.
评分1、4章优秀,intensification和extensification的框架对解释贵族饮食生活的扩散的启发性还行,而其背后的权力又如何作用于国家、不同阶层、殖民地之上。早年田园生活对甜味的拒斥来源于夏天水果带来的腹泻。其他章节堆砌啰嗦枯燥了些(直接念商务翻译版吧)...人类学理论课和经济人类学课的老师特捧这本书,个人以为一方面源自于它给欧洲中心带来的反思性吧,和Wolf一路的。
