Drinking
Over the last decades quite a few studies have been devoted to drinking. Most of these were concerned with alcohol and written by social anthropologists. This book presents multidisciplinary aspects of the ingestion of liquids at large, addressing many of the overt and covert meanings of drinking: from satisfying biological needs to communicating with humans and the hereafter, attempting to reach a differential emotional state or seeking good hea…

Drinking in Northern Cameroon Among the Masa and Muzey
Death of Mary Douglas, an Obituary
I have had the privilege of collaborating with Mary Douglas in the framework of the International Commission for the Anthropology of Food (ICAF) since 1978, but our paths first crossed much earlier, in 1962 when she was a member of the International African Institute. She evaluated my work on the Massa of Cameroon. Mary Douglas will be remembered for her masterly theoretical works such as “Purity and Danger: An Analysis of Concepts of Pollution a…
Nourriture de brousse chez les Muzey et les Masa du Nord-Cameroun
Les Masa et les Muzey, qui résident dans les plaines d’inondation du Logone à environ 250 km au sud de N’Djaména, continuent de tirer un profit alimentaire des activités de prédation. Cet exposé est centré sur la chasse-ramassage, la cueillette des produits végétaux et la petite pêche occasionnelle. Parmi les produits de la chasse-ramassage, on observe des insectes, des batraciens, des reptiles, de petits poissons, des oiseaux et des mammifères (…
Drinking
Views about food prejudice and stereotypes
Food is a social marker. Used positively, it demonstrates belonging to a group, and negatively it provides a justification for discrimination. Chauvinism and xenophobia express themselves through attitudes and stereotypes which are not necessarily grounded on facts but which may influence behaviour. Discrimination ranges from mild ridicule to harsh rejection and racism (for instance, against black people or Jews). It may apply to philosophico-rel…

L’alimentation constitue un domaine indispensable à l’existence. Qu’il s’agisse des chasseurs-cueilleurs préhistoriques affamés, des ménagères modernes soucieuses de diététique ou des chefs d’entreprise se piquant de gastronomie, l’Homme lui a toujours consacré une part appréciable de son temps et de son attention. L’être humain est un animal social doté de pensée symbolique et d’une culture, ce qui marque son comportement alimentaire. Dans la pé…

Guru ‐fattening sessions among the Massa
Among the Massa of Northern Cameroon and Chad, men 15 to 35 years of age undergo two types of fattening sessions, one individual, the other collective. Ethnographic and anthropometric data on both were gathered between 1976 and 1985, and quantitative food consumption surveys were carried out in 1976 and 1980. The individual sessions result in one of the highest caloric intakes recorded in a non‐experimental situation. The collective ones provide …

De la perception de la malnutrition dans les sociétés traditionnelles
Alors que nutrition et malnutrition, dans une perspective occidentale, se definissent a l'aide de criteres biologiques, l'A. montre comment la notion de malnutrition dans les societes traditionnelles est tout aussi relative que les croyances et les pratiques alimentaires. Il illustre son propos par de nombreux cas ethnographiques (croyances medicales, esthetique corporelle, alimentation de la femme enceinte ou allaitant, de l'enfant, sevrage, cur…

The Anthropologist and the FAO
Population, Production, and Culture in the Plains Societies of Northern Cameroon and Chad
In the context of an FAO seminar on agricultural planning and population, the author shows what the anthropologist can contribute to the analysis of this kind of problem. The case put forward is based on five years of field research in Chad and Cameroon from 1958 to 1976, among the Masa, Musey, Tuburi, and Kera. Their demography, production system, and social organization are examined. In a regional framework large enough to warrant a fresh plann…
The socio‐cultural aspects of nutrition
Man's nutritional behavior should be studied not only from the physiological and psychological standpoint but also from the socio‐cultural point of view. Man is a social being, his deeply‐rooted food habits have developed within a culture and they vary widely from one society to another. The socio‐cultural factors bearing on food and nutrition range from material technologies to implicit ideologies and symbols, and are interrelated in an original…
