Historicizing Lifestyle Mediating Taste Consumption and Identity from the 1900s to 1970s

Lifestyles have a history and lifestyle media is fundamentally implicated in this history. This original volume examines issues of taste media and lifestyle from the 1900s to 1970s providing a wealth of empirical evidence and debate from varied international perspectives. Including examples as diverse as 'Good Housekeeping' and 'Playboy' it explores the continuities and discontinuities between the past and present to provide a better understanding of the representation of lifestyle and its relationship to the self. The volume demonstrates how ideas about gender nation and 'race' problematize taken-for-granted assumptions about lifestyle with particular emphasis on the new middle classes in the US. The book also examines the role of advertising and marketing in mediating ideas about lifestyle the role of material culture in the construction of cultural hierarchies and the positioning of social groups within wider cartographies of taste. The volume makes a significant contribution to this growing field and will interest academics and students in media and cultural studies communication studies cultural history and sociology. | Historicizing Lifestyle Mediating Taste Consumption and Identity from the 1900s to 1970s

Taste A cultural history of the home interior

Democratic in intention and approach the book will argue that the home interior as independently created by the ‘amateur’ householder offers a continuous informal critique of shifting architectural styles (most notably with the advent of Modernism) and the design mainstream. Indeed it will suggest that the popular increasingly exerts an influence on the professional. Underpinned by academic rigour but not in thrall to it above all this book is an engaging attempt to identify the cultural drivers of aesthetic change in the home extrapolating the wider influence of ‘taste’ to a broad audience – both professional and ‘trade’. In so doing it will explore enthralling territory – money class power and influence. Illustrated with contemporary drawings and cartoons as well as photos the book will not only be an absorbing read but an enticing and attractive object in itself. | Taste A cultural history of the home interior

The Role of Taste in Kant's Theory of Cognition

First published in 1990. This title originally a Ph. D. dissertation submitted to the Department of Philosophy at Harvard University in July 1988 grew out of an interest in the foundations of twentieth-century analytic philosophy. Believing that the idea of the primacy of judgment was an important one for understanding more recent issues in analytic philosophy the author started to think about its historical antecedents. By examining Kant’s Critique of Judgement Ginsborg explores the notion of a judgment of taste as a judgment which has intersubjective validity without being objectively valid and therefore bear’s directly on the notion of the primacy of judgment as an aspect of Kant's account of objectivity. This title will be of interest to students of philosophy. | The Role of Taste in Kant's Theory of Cognition

A Taste of Prison Custodial Conditions for Trial and Remand Prisoners

Originally published in 1976 A Taste of Prison deals with a very sensitive area of concern in the system of trial and imprisonment in Britain at the time. It describes the conditions at Winchester Prison and Winchester Remand Centre for both adults and young persons who were held in custody before trial or who were awaiting sentence. Despite the fact that many of these persons would not subsequently be sent to prison by the courts the conditions they experienced were in many respects no better and in some respects worse than those for persons sentenced to imprisonment. Moreover as this study shows the special provisions for these persons embodied in the Prison Rules and Standing Orders of the Prison Department often meant little in practice – either because they remained unaware of their rights or because they were unable to take them up for various reasons. The authors discuss the function of remands in custody within a changing prison system analyse recent trends in the numbers of persons received into the prison system on remand and assess their contribution to the prison population. The implications of the findings are discussed in the context of the prison building programme and the uses to which existing buildings could be put. Finally the authors make a number of proposals for the improvement of the regime for remand prisoners. | A Taste of Prison Custodial Conditions for Trial and Remand Prisoners

Food History A Feast of the Senses in Europe 1750 to the Present

This pioneering book elevates the senses to a central role in the study of food history because the traditional focus upon food types quantities and nutritional values is incomplete without some recognition of smell touch sight hearing and taste. Eating is a sensual experience. Every day and at every meal the senses of smell touch sight hearing and taste are engaged in the acts of preparation and consumption. And yet these bodily acts are ephemeral; their imprint upon the source material of history is vestigial. Hitherto historians have shown little interest in the senses beyond taste and this book fills that research gap. Four dimensions are treated: • Words Symbols and Uses: Describing the Senses – an investigation of how specific vocabularies for food are developed. • Industrializing the Senses – an analysis of the fundamental change in the sensory qualities of foods under the pressure of industrialization and economic forces outside the control of the household and the artisan producer. • Nationhood and the Senses – an exploration of how the combination of the senses and food play into how nations saw themselves and how food was a signature of how political ideologies played out in practical everyday terms. • Food Senses and Globalization – an examination of links between food the senses and the idea of international significance. Putting all of the senses on the agenda of food history for the first time this is the ideal volume for scholars of food history food studies and food culture as well as social and cultural historians.

The Routledge Companion to Literary Media

The Routledge Companion to Literary Media examines the fast-moving present and future of a media ecosystem in which the literary continues to play a vital role. The term ‘literary media’ challenges the tendency to hold the two terms distinct and broadens accepted usage of the literary to include popular cultural forms emerging technologies and taste cultures genres and platforms as well as traditions and audiences all too often excluded from literary histories and canons. Featuring contributions from leading international scholars and practitioners the Companion provides a comprehensive guide to existing terms and theories that address the alignment of literature and a variety of media forms. It situates the concept in relation to existing theories and histographies; considers emerging genres and forms such as locative narratives and autofiction; and expands discussion beyond the boundaries by which literary authorship is conventionally defined. Contributors also examine specific production and publishing contexts to provide in-depth analysis of the promotion of literary media materials. The volume further considers reading and other aspects of situated audience engagement such as Indigenous and oral storytelling prize and review cultures book clubs children and young adults. This authoritative collection is an invaluable resource for scholars and students working at the intersection of literary and media studies.

Attending to the Literary The Distinctiveness of Literature

Attending to the Literary: The Distinctiveness of Literature is a foray into current debates about the nature of the literary. What is literary? Is literarity a thing? Are there still aesthetic standards of taste? Is the category of literary aesthetics an obstacle to understanding the uses of literature? What does it mean to count the reading of literature as an experience in its own right? What would be the deficits to human experience without literature? Attending to the Literary addresses all of these questions with a view to challenging the notion of literarity as merely representative of experience. On the contrary Alan Singer shows how literarity is an enacting of experience. Through close readings of an eclectic repertoire of literary sentences – culled from the genres of fiction poetry and drama – Singer demonstrates how syntax stages human capacities for attending ever more consequentially to the world of practical experience. These stagings of forms of attention involve readers in the drama of reason-giving and expand the possibilities of rational imagination. Attending to the Literary speaks to a broad audience of readers for whom the question Does literature matter? remains an urgent intellectual challenge. | Attending to the Literary The Distinctiveness of Literature

A History of the Muslim World to 1405 The Making of a Civilization

Muslims first appeared in the early seventh century as members of a persecuted religious movement in a sun-baked town in Arabia.

Flavoromics An Integrated Approach to Flavor and Sensory Assessment

Forty years of progress in the fields of gas chromatography and data collection have culminated in flavoromics. This is a combination of chemometrics and metabolomics. Essentially it is the non-targeted way of rapidly collecting a significant amount of data from a wide range of sample populations and using the data to study complicated topics. Now that we have the required tools we can carry out high-throughput trace investigations that incorporate both gustatory and olfactory signals. Flavoromics: An Integrated Approach to Flavor and Sensory Assessment describes the tools to do high-throughput trace analyses that represent both taste and olfaction stimuli. It explains how today's single sample research will generate thousands of data points which are loaded into sophisticated statistical analysis algorithms to establish what stimuli are responsible for flavor. This cutting-edge equipment will enable us to create flavorings and perfumes that are more realistic and superior. Key Features: Includes a detailed section on data handling/mining Section 4 describes a broad overview of different food matrices Points out the integration of flavoromics with advanced separation methods data management statistical modeling and variable selection This book represents a revolutionary tool waiting to help make better truer to life flavorings and fragrances. | Flavoromics An Integrated Approach to Flavor and Sensory Assessment

Senses of the Empire Multisensory Approaches to Roman Culture

The Roman empire afforded a kaleidoscope of sensations. Through a series of multisensory case studies centred on people places buildings and artefacts and on specific aspects of human behaviour this volume develops ground-breaking methods and approaches for sensory studies in Roman archaeology and ancient history. Authors explore questions such as: what it felt like and symbolised to be showered with saffron at the amphitheatre; why the shape of a dancer’s body made him immediately recognisable as a social outcast; how the dramatic gestures loud noises and unforgettable smells of a funeral would have different meanings for members of the family and for bystanders; and why feeling the weight of a signet ring on his finger contributed to a man’s sense of identity. A multisensory approach is taken throughout with each chapter exploring at least two of the senses of sight hearing smell taste and touch. The contributors’ individual approaches vary reflecting the possibilities and the wide application of sensory studies to the ancient world. Underlying all chapters is a conviction that taking a multisensory approach enriches our understanding of the Roman empire but also an awareness of the methodological problems encountered when reconstructing past experiences. | Senses of the Empire Multisensory Approaches to Roman Culture

Feeling Matters

As long as feelings are second-class citizens people will be second class citizens. Experience is an endangered species. An important function of psychotherapy is to make time for experiencing. Psychic taste buds really exist and rarely rest. They feed us each other gauge states of being states of spirit. We taste each other's feelings and intentions. An important aim of this book is to build psychic taste buds not put them down or pretend they don't exist. A positive feeling runs through this book a love of life an affirmation. Yet we discover many feel they do not have an impact. A sense of helplessness and impotence in face of awesome forces seems to be increasing. Health is a broad term with many dark threads. A creeping annihilating sense varies from pockets we try not to notice to soul murder that must be addressed. Yet individuals do try in their private struggles and in the larger social sphere. | Feeling Matters

Chanson The French Singer-Songwriter from Aristide Bruant to the Present Day

’En France tout finit par des chansons’ is the well-known phrase which sums up the importance of chanson for the French. A song tradition that goes back to the Middle Ages and troubadours of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries chanson is part of the texture of everyday life in France - a part of the national identity and a barometer of popular taste. In this first study of chanson in English Peter Hawkins examines the background to the genre and the difficulties in defining what is and what is not chanson. The focus then moves to the development of the singer-songwriter of chanson from 1880 to the present day. This period saw the emergence of national icons from Aristide Bruant at the end of the nineteenth century through to internationally recognized musicians such as Jacques Brel and Serge Gainsbourg. Each of these figures used chanson to express the particular moral dilemmas tragic situations and moments of euphoria particular to themselves and their times. The book provides bibliographies discographies and details of video recordings for each of the singer-songwriters that it discusses. It is both an essential reference guide to the genre and a useful case history of the adaptation of an ancient form to the demands of the modern mass media. | Chanson The French Singer-Songwriter from Aristide Bruant to the Present Day

Why It's OK to Want to Be Rich

Finger-wagging moralizers say the love of money is the root of all evil. They assume that making a lot of money requires exploiting others and that the best way to wash off the resulting stain is to give a lot of it away. In Why It’s OK to Want to Be Rich Jason Brennan shows that the moralizers have it backwards. He argues that in general the more money you make the more you already do for others and that even an average wage earner is productively “giving back” to society just by doing her job. In addition wealth liberates us to have the best chance of leading a life that’s authentically our own. Brennan also demonstrates how money-based societies create nicer more trustworthy and more cooperative citizens. And in another chapter that takes on the new historians of capitalism Brennan argues that wealthy nations became wealthy because of their healthy institutions not from their horrific histories of slavery or colonialism. While writing that the more money one has the more one should help others Brennan also notes that we weren’t born into a perpetual debt to society. It’s OK to get rich and it’s OK to enjoy being rich too. Key Features Shows how the desire to become wealthy in an open and fair market helps maximize cooperation and lessens the chance of violence and war Argues that it is much easier for the average for-profit business to add value to the world than it is for the average non-profit Demonstrates that the kinds of virtues (e. g. conscientiousness thoughtfulness hard work) that lead to desirable personal and civic states (e. g. happy marriages stable families engaged citizens) also make people richer Argues that living in small clans for most of their history has given humans a negative attitude towards anyone acquiring more than her fair share an attitude that’s ill-suited for our market-driven globally connected world In a final provocative chapter maintains that ideal economic growth is infinite. | Why It's OK to Want to Be Rich
