This thesis explores how food communicates. In particular, it considers the historical context from which the gourmet rises and how "good taste" is communicated through the history of the gourmet. This finds particular expression in mass mediated society, specifically print culture, and reaches its apex in Gourmet: The magazine of good living. By disciplining base instincts such as civilizing the appetite, making distinctions from the masses, the everyday and the ordinary, "good taste" is standardized through the palate and acts as an index of the aesthetic quality of bourgeois sensibility. Gastronomic history, notions of restraint and delicacy from the French courts, and the development of the modern restaurant, are food for thought in the examination of contemporary associations between "good taste" and "good living." The discourse surrounding the cultivation of the self through eating, manners, food and lifestyle figures predominantly.

Orientador: João Batista Toledo Prado / Banca: Brunno Vinicius Gonçalves Vieira / Banca: Alexandre Pinheiro Hasegawa / Resumo: A dissertação de mestrado ora apresentada promove uma leitura das sátiras 2, 4 e 2, 8 do poeta latino Horácio, a fim de observar de que maneira o gênero satírico, quando relacionado ao ambiente retórico do banquete, faz uso dos elementos gastronômicos para servir aos objetivos da sátira, quais sejam: promover um diálogo com as obras sérias que tratam do banquete como ambiente de convivência relacionado a elucubrações filosóficas inspiradas pelas musas; tratar de assuntos corriqueiros sob a forma hexamétrica, prefigurando uma oposição entre forma e conteúdo. Para tanto, os signos da mistura e da fartura - heterogeneidade e exagero, se assim se preferir - revelam-se como recursos para a construção de uma consciência de que a sátira tem a possibilidade de ser um texto pensado esteticamente e, ao mesmo tempo, cumprir sua determinação política / Abstract: Not available / Mestre
