Sillonnant la planète pour réaliser un panorama de la prohibition alimentaire, le journaliste canadien Taras Grescoe ingurgite en Norvège des tord-boyaux "maison", écume les bars à tapas de Madrid pour trouver des criadillas (testicules de taureau à l'ail), mâche des feuilles de coca à La Paz et voit ces mêmes feuilles se transformer en cocaïne dans une profonde forêt de Bolivie. En Suisse, s'il renonce à goûter au penthiobarbital sodique, au moyen duquel on peut légalement mettre un terme à son existence, il ne dira pas non aux lueurs vertes de l'absinthe...

Résumé:
« Je proviens d’une longue lignée de femmes-repas. Dès la petite enfance, mon appétence m’a fait remarquer. Ma grand-mère et ma tante m’offrent tout ce que j’aime au petit-déjeuner. «Mange, Annie, mange!» somment-elles, sincèrement ravies et impressionnées par la quantité de nourriture que je peux avaler.

Résumé:
« Je proviens d’une longue lignée de femmes-repas. Dès la petite enfance, mon appétence m’a fait remarquer. Ma grand-mère et ma tante m’offrent tout ce que j’aime au petit-déjeuner. «Mange, Annie, mange!» somment-elles, sincèrement ravies et impressionnées par la quantité de nourriture que je peux avaler. Je n’ai jamais su dire «non». ~ Fière de manger « comme un homme », je m’interroge : la ripaille serait-elle réservée aux chasseurs et aux chefs cuisiniers désirant faire montre de leur virilité, laissant les troubles alimentaires, et donc les maladies mentales, aux femmes ? ~ Si le fait de manger est d’abord une fonction biologique, quand et pourquoi la gourmandise intervient-elle ? Est-ce donc le symptôme d’une nature ardente, d’une sensualité débridée qui n’a trouvé aucun autre vecteur : un onanisme de l’estomac? Ou plutôt la peur ancestrale du manque et de la famine, évoquée par ma mère, élevée dans les faubourgs populaires de Saint-Henri? Est-ce une conséquence de la tristesse inconsolable d’exister? Dégoûtée à l’avance de ce corps dont je renie la matière, j’ai développé une tendance à m’abîmer dans l’excès… ~ L’équilibre entre la réplétion et la culpabilité qui s’ensuit se négocie mal. Le corps s’est emballé, a réclamé sa part de jouissances et de sensations fortes. Lorsqu’il se sera reposé, il demandera à recommencer parce qu’il s’ennuie. Entre la bombance et la salade étuvée, la beuverie et l’eau minérale, je choisis indéniablement le plat de résistance et la bouteille de vin. Ad nauseam!»

Résumé:
Since founding Studio Orta in 1993, the Paris-based husband-and-wife team of Lucy and Jorge Orta has produced an extensive body of work that addresses universal concerns about community, shelter, migration, and sustainable development. Beyond merely addressing these issues artistically, their work suggests solutions by modeling fresh approaches to social dilemmas. Their often-playful projects incorporate elements of fashion, art, and architecture, which they combine with performances, multimedia events, and public debates. Featuring hundreds of drawings and photographs, Lucy + Jorge Orta: Food, Water, Life presents recent works that fall into the categories of food, water, and the environment. An interview by curator and critic Hou Hanru provides insight into the artists' processes and motivations.

Résumé:
Blending architectural and social history with the necessity for food, this book attempts to understand the development of the American house by viewing it through one very specific lens: the food axis. The author Elizabeth Collins Cromley explores all areas of food management within the home -- preparation, cooking, consumption, and disposal. Studying the use and interaction of these spaces, and the ways in which their components change over time, the author shows how these elements have helped shape the multiple forms of residential architecture in the United States, from the first settlement period to the present.

Résumé:
In "Pig", Brett Mizelle provides a richly illustrated and compelling look at the long, complicated relationship between humans and these highly intelligent, sociable animals. Mizelle traces the natural and cultural history of the pig, focusing on the contradictions between our imaginative representation of pigs and the real-world truth of the ways in which pigs are prized for their meat, used as subjects in medical research, and killed in order to make hundreds of consumer products. "Pig" begins with the evolution of the suidae, animals that were domesticated in multiple regions 9,000 years ago, and points toward a future where pigs and humans are even more closely intertwined as a result of biomedical breakthroughs. "Pig" both examines the widespread art, entertainment, and literature that imagines human kinship with pigs and the development of modern industrial pork production.
