Comida reconfortante: a tríade de elementos da sua construção - memória, comunicação e cultura

Maróstica, Luciana Teixeira 27 June 2014 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-26T18:14:18Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Luciana Teixeira Marostica.pdf: 814745 bytes, checksum: c9a8476dc035c8a20818ab6630822578 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-06-27 / This study aims at investigating and analyzing a gastronomic trend called comfort food. Known by researchers as the food that brings comfort, it is a trend that started in the US after the Second World War, but became popular in Brazil after 2006 and counter balances fast food and the rationality of functional food with its health benefits. This research tries to identify the range of possibilities for studies that consider food and the social relations related to the act of eating as a mixture of subjects, cultures and cooking. The evidence that cooking can be a way of communication for harmonious social interaction of men, having the act of eating as a pillar for it, is the main objective of this study, in addition to the analysis of intangible aspects of cooking such as culture and aesthetics, and today`s challenge of rescuing and recreating memories related to food and eating together. Such observations are approached under the crossbreding theory, developed by Pinheiro and Freyre, with an anthropological bias developed by Lévi-Strauss, Malinowski, Douglas, Harris and by the beginning of a new possibility of explanation towards the sensorial perception and the sensing, a way pointed out by Dória, Serres and Ferreira, and justified through studies by Maffesoli and Brillat-Savarin. The interlink of all these approaches allows the comprehension of a set of questions which are behind this environment of transformation, of the interplay of the natural and the cultural worlds, and which contains a lot of information, plenty of stimulus and different points of view / O presente estudo tem como objeto de investigação e análise a tendência gastronômica chamada comfort food. Conhecida por estudiosos de alimentação como comida reconfortante, esta tendência surgiu nos Estados Unidos depois da Segunda Guerra Mundial, mas se popularizou no Brasil a partir de 2006 e é um contraponto ao fast food (comida rápida) e à racionalidade dos alimentos funcionais, dos quais os benefícios à saúde são chamariz. A pesquisa busca identificar o campo de possibilidades para estudos que pensem a comida e as relações sociais ligadas ao ato de se alimentar como uma forma de fusão entre sujeitos, culturas e cozinhas. A evidência de que a cozinha possa ser um modo de comunicação para a convivência social saudável e harmoniosa entre os homens e que tenha o comer como eixo, é o principal objetivo deste estudo, além da análise dos aspectos intangíveis do cozinhar como cultura e estética, e do desafio atual de recriar e resgatar posturas e lembranças em relação à comida e ao comer junto. Tais observações são abordadas pela teoria de mestiçagem trabalhada por Pinheiro e Freyre, pelo viés antropológico desenvolvido por Lévi-Strauss, Malinowski, Douglas e Harris e pela abertura de uma explanação em direção à percepção sensorial e ao sensível, num caminho apontado por Dória, Serres e Ferreira e justificado através dos estudos de Maffesoli e Brillat-Savarin. O entrelaçamento de todos estes pontos possibilita a compreensão de um emaranhado de questões que estão por trás deste ambiente de transformações, de articulação do mundo natural e cultural e que contém muitas informações, muitos estímulos e diferentes pontos de vista

Cozinha de raiz : as relações entre chefs, produtores e consumidores a partir do uso de produtos agroalimentares singulares na gastronomia contemporânea

Zaneti, Tainá Bacellar January 2017 (has links)
O atual processo social de gastronomização tem deflagrado uma relação cada vez mais estreita entre a gastronomia e o meio rural. Entre as tendências da gastronomia contemporânea é crescente a demanda e o uso de ingredientes locais, tradicionais, produzidos com métodos ecológicos, que remetam ao sentido de trajetória, identidade e autenticidade, que conferem traços de singularidade aos mesmos. Essa demanda tem evidenciado, por um lado, uma maior preocupação dos comensais e chefs pela origem dos produtos e, por outro, uma (re) aproximação e (re) valorização das relações entre chefs, comensais e agricultores familiares, o que pode representar novas oportunidades de mercado para a Agricultura Familiar. Esta tese procura problematizar estas questões e tem como principal objetivo analisar como ocorrem as relações entre chefs, produtores e comensais no processo de inserção e uso de produtos agroalimentares singulares na gastronomia contemporânea, buscando perceber em que medida este consumo está estimulando novos mercados para a Agricultura Familiar e grupos tradicionais. Foram estudados quatro casos de restaurantes e Instituições que apresentavam iniciativas e práticas de relações diretas entre chefs, produtores e comensais. Para obtenção dos dados, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com estes atores, observação participante nos restaurantes e instituições, análise de cardápios e da trajetória dos ingredientes. A mobilização dos conceitos da sociologia econômica e da análise dos dados obtidos na pesquisa de campo, proporcionaram elementos para a elaboração de conceito explicativo para o fenômeno estudado, denominado Cozinha de Raiz (embedded gastronomy). Esta se constitui a partir de cadeias gastronômicas curtas, que evidenciam relações de proximidade e enraizamento social entre os produtores, chefs e comensais e é alinhavada por produtos singulares, que tem seus padrões de qualidade e distintividade construídos e legitimados por meio das informações compartilhadas entre os atores. Essas cadeias se configuram de duas principais formas: a) Cadeia Gastronômica Curta Chefcêntrica, que tem formação horizontal, é organizada entre atores e tem o chef como elo central da cadeia; ou b) Cadeias Gastronômicas Curtas Sinérgicas, organizada de maneira vertical, mediada por instituições e não apenas pelos atores, permitindo aos consumidores e produtores maiores possibilidades de interação, conferindo maior poder de agência e autonomia para os produtores, que podem estabelecer redes tanto com os chefs, quanto com os consumidores de maneira direta. Em ambas, o chef aparece como ator social central tanto na formação destas cadeias, quanto na ressignificação dos ingredientes em direção à singularidade. Pode-se inferir que na formação horizontal, ainda que se constate a formação de uma cadeia curta, se observa, também, a formação de nichos de mercado, para poucos produtores e poucos consumidores, com baixo efeito de mudanças culturais e de desenvolvimento dos produtores. Já na formação vertical, há descentralização de poder, maior grau de relação entre os atores, maior autonomia e empoderamento dos produtores e flexibilidade para o acesso a este mercado. Assim, pode-se dizer que a Cozinha de Raiz contribui para o desenvolvimento rural, por ressocializar os produtores e relocalizar os produtos na constituição das estratégias de valorização do produtor e do produto nas cadeias gastronômicas curtas, a partir da construção de novos mercados com novos padr es de governan a. O chef cumpre um canal educativo para conscientização dos comensais sobre a importância da valorização da agricultura familiar e dos grupos tradicionais. Porém, é preciso que a atuação do chef esteja associada a políticas e a iniciativas que garantam o fortalecimento da agricultura familiar, a valorização da biodiversidade nacional e o desenvolvimento de canais curtos de comercialização. / The current social process of gastronomization has triggered an even closer relationship between gastronomy and rural areas. Among the tendencies of contemporary gastronomy is the growing demand for local, traditional ingredients, produced with ecological methods, which refer to the sense of trajectory, identity and authenticity that carries traces of singularity. This demand has triggered, on the one hand, a greater concern of the diners and chefs with the origin of the products and, on the other, a (re) oncoming and (re) valorization of the relations between chefs, diners and family farmers, which may represent new market opportunities for Family Agriculture. This thesis aims to problematize these questions and its main purpose is to analyze how the relations between chefs, producers and consumers occur in the process of insertion and use of singular agrifood products in the contemporary gastronomy, trying to understand to what extent this consumption is stimulating new markets for Family Agriculture and traditional groups. There were studied four cases of restaurants and institutions that presented initiatives and practices of direct relations between chefs, producers and diners. To obtain the data, there were conducted semi-structured interviews with these actors, participant observation in restaurants and institutions, analyses of menus and the trajectory of the ingredients. The mobilization of the concepts of economic sociology and the data analysis obtained in the field research provided elements for the elaboration of an explanatory concept for the phenomenon studied, called Embedded Gastronomy. This is based on short gastronomic chains, which show relationships of proximity and social embeddedness among producers, chefs and diners and is aligned with unique products, which have their standards of quality and distinctiveness built and legitimized through information shared between the actors. These chains are made up of two main forms: a) Chefcentric Short Gastronomic Chain, which has horizontal formation, is organized between actors and has the chef as the chain's central link; Or b) Sinergic Short Gastronomic Chains, organized in a vertical way, mediated by institutions and not only by the actors, allowing the consumers and producers greater possibilities of interaction, giving greater power of agency and autonomy to the producers that can establish networks with both the chefs, and consumers directly. In both, the chef appears as central social actor both in the formation of these chains, and in the re-signification of the ingredients towards the singularity. It can be inferred that in the horizontal formation, even if the formation of a short chain is observed, also the formation of market niches is observed, for few producers and few consumers, with low effect of cultural changes and development of the producers. In the vertical formation, there is decentralization of power, a greater degree of relationship between actors, greater autonomy and empowerment of producers, and flexibility to access this market. Thus, it can be said that the embedded gastronomy contributes to the rural development by re-socializing the producers and relocating the products in the constitution of the strategies of valorization of the producer and the product in the short gastronomic chains, from the construction of new markets with new standards of governance. The role of the chef is an educational channel for the awareness of the importance of the approximation and appreciation of Family Agriculture and traditional groups. However, the chef's role must be associated with policies and initiatives that guarantee the strengthening of Family Agriculture, of national biodiversity and the development of short marketing channels.

Evaluation Of Restoration Projects Of Traditional Dwellings In Outer Citadel Of Ankara Which Are Given Gastronomic Functions

Keskin, Irmak 01 May 2008 (has links) (PDF)
Traditional Dwellings in Ankara Citadel have an important place among both Anatolian and Ankara Traditional Dwellings, reflecting certain characteristics of their own. Citadel Area, as one of the oldest settlements in Ankara, has been hosting both residential and commercial activities for a very long period of time. Today, the area has regained its popularity / as a commercial, cultural and tourism center with the potential of its remaining values from the past and conservation movements held in the area starting from 1970&amp / #8217 / s. Within these circumstances, the residential pattern inside Citadel area, the boundaries of which are strictly defined by historical fortress walls, carries the highest risk in the area. At this point, main factors threatening the existing pattern can be categorized in four titles, which also constitute the definition of the problem that the thesis is going to deal with. First factor is the rapid change in original use of traditional dwellings in the Outer Citadel due to the pressure derived from the increase in tourism, commercial and cultural activities in the area. Second factor is the assignment of gastronomic function as the most popular and major function among new functions of restored traditional dwellings in the area. The third factor is the disappearance of original characteristics and values of traditional dwellings due to restoration projects, which is caused by the discordant relation of the spatial, functional requirements of gastronomic use with the original characteristics, spatial capacity of traditional dwellings. Last factor is the present physical situation of traditional dwellings, which doesn&amp / #8217 / t correspond with their physical situation in the projects approved by the Board of Conservation of Ankara. Outer Citadel is the study area for the problem with its clear boundaries, which is actually a buffer zone between the commercial, cultural, tourism zone outside the Citadel Area and Inner Citadel, in which the existing residential pattern, mostly preserving its original characteristics and use, is located. This thesis mainly intends to point out how the original characteristics, values and spatial quality of traditional dwellings are affected from the gastronomic function in both positive and negative ways within the context of contemporary understanding and methods of conservation. Discordances and problems between the approved restoration projects and the restoration implementations are another subject of the thesis. The thesis starts with an introduction chapter, informing about the theoretical framework established for the study, the definition and aim, which also informs about the methodology followed. Second chapter consists of a historical research on Ankara Citadel and examinations on the present situation of the area, traditional dwellings in Ankara Citadel and other developments in the city which have an effect on Citadel Area and traditional dwellings. Third chapter includes the analyses of traditional dwellings chosen for the study with their evaluations, in which the original characteristics and values these dwellings are also indicated. Fourth chapter consists of the analyses of the restoration projects of the traditional dwellings again with their evaluations, considering both the present situation and the original characteristics and values. Thesis ends with a conclusion chapter, which makes a general evaluation of the study within the context of modern conservation approaches.
