O objetivo principal deste trabalho é identificar características que possam amplificar os códigos midiáticos, em contrapartida às características de redução das dimensões intrínsecas à mediação. Para alcançar o objetivo proposto, foi desenvolvido um estudo comparativo da mediação de informações gastronômicas, levando em conta as características reducionistas dos códigos e os cinco sentidos humanos para a apreensão do mundo: visão, audição, tato, olfato e paladar. Foram observadas amostras de conteúdo gastronômico mediado por programas televisivos, jornais e revistas especializadas. A análise comparativa possibilitou a identificação das características reducionistas do código midiático, mas também evidenciou suas possibilidades de amplificação / Abstract: This research intends to analyze how press and television media are able to mediate the flavor of food recipes without having at their disposal the necessary tools so that all the basic senses can be felt by the receiver of the flavor in the mediated contents. The main objective of this work is to identify some characteristics that can help amplify the media codes, in opposition to the reduction characteristics of the intrinsic dimensions of the mediation processes. A comparative study of the mediated gastronomic information has been developed so that the proposed aim could be reached. For this study, the reduction characteristics of the media codes and the five human senses (taste, sight, hearing, smell, and touch) have been taken into consideration. Samples of gastronomic contents mediated by television programs, newspapers and specialized magazines have been observed. The comparative analysis has enabled the identification of the reduction characteristics of the media codes, but also has evidenced the amplification of the same media codes / Mestre

This thesis analyzes five different restaurant typologies, including fast food, fast-casual, casualfine, fine, and ultrafine, which includes restaurants that have received a Michelin star; these fiverestaurant typologies are analyzed for their relationship to context, access to natural resources, spatial organization, dining sequence, and presentation, as well as for other architecturally significant spatial implications. This analysis is arranged into a matrix of architectural "ingredients," with the different restaurant typologies organized along the horizontal, and the different categories for spatial analysis organized along the vertical. Using this matrix of architectural ingredients, the thesis then combines multiple ingredients from different categories of spatial analysis as well as different restaurant typologies to create three architectural "entrees." These entrees are didactic new dining conditions that ultimately aim to distill and slow the process of preparing and enjoying a meal. They aim to strike a balance between knowing where our food comes from while also meeting the fast pace of modern consumer culture, which includes quickly responding to changes in climate and trends. These three entrees can be scaled to fit into any context or climate, and can also be manipulated to reflect and celebrate different culinary traditions. Ultimately, the thesis is an exploration in architectural storytelling and narrative; it is grounded in a deep interest for thoughtful research, data collection, visualization, and graphic design. The structure of the thesis in itself creates a new form of architectural discourse that is inspired by culinary language; this structure tries to visually unpack the complexities of gastronomy, while also maintaining a visual ambiguity that allows the viewer ... / 0 / SPK / specialcollections@tulane.edu

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.

This thesis seeks to understand the intersection of cultural identity and food security in a country that has had a difficult time feeding its people. The discourse on food in Guatemala, in the realm of development and international studies, maintains a focus on the lack thereof. Moreover, the author examines the food traditions and beliefs people in Guatemala feel are important as well as the obstacles they face in realizing food self-sufficiency. Many Guatemalans have an intimate connection with their land, and unequal land distribution hinders farmers’ abilities to access the foods they most value. In addition to this, the unfolding sustainable development agenda has resulted in biofuel projects that threaten the livelihoods of many rural farmers. Through interviews with chefs, agricultural workers, and agricultural commodity traders, the author pieces together the differing perspectives of various stakeholders to present a complex mosaic of Guatemalan foodways.
