Experimenting with museography: The Musée des Confluences in Lyon
This article examines innovative forms of museography and their relationship to national narratives involving history, memory and locality. It seeks to assess how definitions of culture have shifted towards world culture and to what extent it can be argued that a radical approach to the anthropology museum or musées de société (also known as world culture museums) has emerged. The discussion is centred on recent exhibitions and iconic objects dis…
Introduction à Varia, le numéro permanent
Depuis la publication du premier numéro en 2001 consacré aux ‘traditions et identités alimentaires locales’, la revue Anthropology of Food a fait du chemin. Onze numéros ont aujourd’hui été publiés en ligne, de nouveaux thèmes ont ouvert la voie à un certain nombre de recherches et de reflexions. La contribution de nos collègues de nombreux pays s’est élargie et la mission que nous nous étions confiée au sein de l’équipe éditoriale commence à por…
Introduction to Varia in progress
Since the first issue of Anthropology of Food in 2001, which was about ‘traditions and food local identities’, the journal has come a long way. Eleven issues are now on line; new subjects have yielded much food for thought and activated new paths for research. Contributions have been made from colleagues around the world, while the task which we assigned ourselves within the Editorial Board is starting to bear fruit. The journal receives an incre…
Wine GB. Opportunisme à bulles dans le « Nouveau/Vieux monde
Depuis la crise financière mondiale de 2008, la viticulture est devenue un secteur visible de l'économie rurale britannique tirant profit des opportunités offertes par le marché des consommateurs de la classe moyenne en quête de plaisirs hédonistiques et cosmopolites incarnés par les vins effervescents. Ces nouveaux producteurs ont bénéficié de conditions climatiques, politiques, sociales et géographiques favorables pour positionner leurs produit…

J. Csergo: La gastronomie est-elle une marchandise culturelle comme les autres

L’ouvrage de l’historienne Julia Csergo consacré à la gastronomie française, et en particulier au processus qui a mené à l’inscription en 2010 du repas gastronomique des Français à l’UNESCO, était très attendu et il ne déçoit guère. Bien au contraire, l…

Teaching ethnography as Modern Languages method: Legacies and future practices for global citizens
Most modern languages degrees in the UK include a Residence Abroad component, the key aims of which are to help students acquire a greater understanding of a new language and culture and to develop research skills. While the acquisition of linguistic competences has been well documented, cultural learning on the year abroad is less well researched. This article is based on an innovative pedagogic project carried out at the University of Southampt…

Political Allegiance after European Integration – By J. White
Anthropologists and the Challenges of Modernity
The article examines developments and challenges faced by both anthropologists and rural communities since the 1960s. It argues that a shift in methodological and thematic terms has occurred, raising a number of issues for the establishment of a research agenda on the anthropology of Europe. The most important shift concerns the recon figuration of rural Europe, from the farm or village to more 'complex' social settings in which the presence of t…

Beyondterroir: Territorial construction, hegemonic discourses, and French wine culture
Starting from the anthropological investigation of Burgundian viticulture, my article examines the major issues attached to the territorial construction of the French wine industry around the concept ofterroir. It discusses the diverse strategic deployments ofterroirencountered in Burgundian viticulture since the 1990s by arguing that a paradigm shift has occurred from the geological argument to the recognition of the wine-grower as the mediator …
Wine and Globalisation: Foreword
Over the past few months, the debate surrounding the films Mondovino and Sideways has helped to illustrate the tensions related to the globalisation of the wine industry and the so-called rivalry between the New World and Old Europe, between brand names and terroir, modernity and tradition, as many concepts masking the complexity of the process. The term “globalization”, widely used in the media, needs to be treated cautiously. In common parlance…

Le nouveau champ de recherche offert par les études sur le boire s’est vu récemment enrichi par la publication de l’excellent ouvrage de Jean-Luc Fernandez sur la critique vinicole en France. Très différent du travail de Geneviève Teil (voir compte-rendu précédent) tant sur le plan de l’approche théorique que sur le plan de la démarche scientifique, l’originalité de la démarche de Fernandez réside dans une recherche historique et ethnographique d…
Vin et Mondialisation: Préface
L’actualité cinématographique de ces derniers mois avec la sortie de Mondovino et Sideways illustre un certain nombre de tensions qui s’attachent à la mondialisation du produit “vin” et au soi-disant clivage entre le Nouveau Monde et la Vieille Europe, la marque et le terroir, la modernité et la tradition, autant de concepts masquant la complexité de ce processus. Le terme de ‘mondialisation’, d’usage fort répandu dans les médias, mérite sans dou…

Rural France in Europe: New challenges
This article examines the specificity of rural France in Europe and assesses the nature of the new challenges confronting it. Discussing the changes affecting the peasant world and French rural society, it aims to provide a balanced picture of the agricultural question by linking it to the issue of ruralité. Rural France has now become an object of debate not only for French society, but also for the future of European agriculture. The article al…
New countryside, old peasants? Politics, tradition and modernity in rural France
Since the publication of the volume Rural Studies in Britain and France (1990) by P. Lowe and M. Bodiguel, ‘la ruralitéfrançaise’ has become the object of intense scrutiny and has emerged as a political field where questions of national and collective identity, traditions, history, landscapes, the past and future of French society have all been debated. In the introduction to that volume, the editors declared: ‘The countryside and rural society, …
The Quest for Identities: Consumption of Wine in France
In the study of the Anthropology of Food, Drinking has occupied a marginal and specific position. It is only recently that anthropologists have started to claim that they have a distinctive perspective on Drinking and if ‘according to Dwight Heath few anthropologists before the 1970s would set out deliberately to study patterns of thought and action concerning drink, they had nevertheless written a great deal on alcohol’. The publication in the 1…
