Full textIn this thesis we draw certain conclusions from different ways of performing and the role of scenes shot at the dinner-table in European fiction films. This research paves the way for further study of how social rituals are directed in cinematography. First, we show how films use expression from the ritual system we called "meal-time" in works of fiction. Next, we study some films which do not use the linguistic potential of the table-scene to make sense, but which explain this convivial ritual in a mythical speech. In the final part, we study the metaphoric uses of the table-scene and in particular the relationship between culinary codes of practice and erotic codes of practice. This entire report helps us to understand the emergence during the 70's of new cinematographic speeches on the meal-time
Guérin, Laura. "Manger ensemble : mourir ensemble : ethnographie du repas collectif en Ehpad." Paris, EHESS, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016EHES0121.
Full textBased on an ethnographic approach, this dissertation work constitutes an inquiry into the upholding of collective meals within French nursing homes dedicated to the care of dependent elderly populations (Ehpad). Recommended by public health policies and the professional literature as a token of care and sociability, the communal meal is none the less a daily trial within establishments, which commands practical adjustments in order to match, to the extent possible, the social expectations it crystallizes. Because each day it requires residents to be gathered, concentrates community living, we examine it as a particular socializing arrangement for the dependent elderly population. Hence the two lines of analysis we have favored. Firstly, we intend to grasp the Ehpad communal meal as the result of a specific labor: a set of ways of doing and saying that affecl residents, the focal aims of which laying with incorporating food and maintaining social arrangements. Secondly, by analyzing professional embarrassment that this work involves, as well as matching forms ol oppositions on residents' part, we overcome the mere medicalization of behaviors. Inquiry materials comprise participant observation in three establishments as an intern within the restaurant services, together with an analysis of professional best practices written by the French higher health authority and the French national agency for the evaluation of social and medico-social services. Through a review of the biomedical literature, apprehending the gap between norms and practices is placed in a widen reference space, where undernourishment is being built in a scholarly fashion. At last, a historical perspective of the Ehpad meal, through considering late XlXth century hospice meals as well as resulting medical theories on great-age nutrition, brings out the evolutions of elderly's treatment through consumptions. Across this dissertation, we have inquired into the government of bodies, in its disposition to produce hopes as foi maintaining the material and symbolic life of individuals known to be vulnerable and to soon face death

Full textIs a sociological definition of a well-balanced diet possible ? Some people will answer that it is a myth, a concept devoid of any meaning, a screen behind which we are supposed to protect ourselves from a modern way of eating which has fallen into decay. Paradoxically, the quality of food has never been so secure. The nutritious comfort we are now experiencing enables us to debate on its quality that is beyond the reach of the majority of the world's population. This pessimistic interpretation contributes to the image of a modern eater who behaves like an intuitive, impulsive even compulsive "zapper". Our interpretation is totally different. The meaning of what people experience daily through what they say and do, is the basis on which we have developed our analysis. Indeed, we've had the opportunity to study what people do in a context of self-service in which they can compose and create their own menu. After expanding our investigation to in-between meals eating habits and within the domestic sphere, we then possessed a wider range of investigation thanks to the diversity of the behaviours studied. It was particularly interesting to reconstruct the complex mechanism of this quest for a well-balanced diet. If the media are still looking for a recipe of a perfect nutrition, the reality of every day life is much more prosaic and the objective is rather to maintain a relative balance. The quest for balance is nothing but this complex mechanism of regulation, planning and projection that the eater imagines, produces and capitalizes. It is a permanent compromise between principles, know-how and the confrontation with food in both a determined and determining situation. This capacity to elaborate a daily regulation beyond the food crisis and the debate on globalisation and the ability to project oneself in the long-term makes the eater a rational individual. This quest for a well-balanced diet is not a meaningless concept but a tangible reality

Full textMy dissertation, which lies within the framework of international linguistics, is about the interaction during meals among friends in invitations in France. Based on audio and video data recorded in naturally-occurring situations, this empirical study aims to show the modalities by which the participants co-construct the two main activities observed at table: eating and talking. Concerning eating, the study describes in detail the interactions since the eaters sit down at the table until they finish the meal. On the basis of verbal and multimodal analysis, this study brings out the linguistic and multimodal resources used by the hosts and the guests in order to make sure of the course of the meal. As for talking, this dissertation focuses on the assessment on the dishes served. The analysis shows that through the assessment on the dishes served, the speakers express their personal observation about the food, as well, they realize various actions such as complimenting, criticizing, self-complimenting and self-depreciating. The key issue of this study is to shed light on the principles seen but unnoticed by which the French speakers construct interaction at table

Full textThis work explores meanings and forms of commensality of European young adults thanks to ethnographic and comparative approach. From in-depth interviews with 83 French, German and Spanish young adults, participant observation of eating occasions and video recordings of meals in a semi-experimental restaurant, we grasp the “eating together” in this age group and in these three populations today. Using data collected during our research, we describe first of all resemblances of the meanings and commensal modes among young adults today. We achieve at highlighting the role played by food sharing among peers, several aspects acting on the possibility and ways of eating together, and also some characteristics of forms of commensality in this period of life cycle and in our time. Afterwards, we show differences of the norms regulating the eating among French, German and Spanish young adults, of the temporal, spatial and social contexts around which these populations met their peers in order to eat together, and of the underlying social organization. We highlight also different attitudes towards commensality in these three populations. This research underline how commensal relationships and forms change during life course and the importance this has for the redefinition of individuals’ social roles. Furthermore, this study reveals that practices of commensality and attitudes towards it continue to be strongly structured by the country and the cultural belonging
Sen, Satish Kumar. "Interactions between circadian clocks and feeding behaviour." Thesis, Strasbourg, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018STRAJ041.
Full textThe muti-oscillatory circadian system consists of the suprachiasmatic clock (SCN) the master clock, located above the optic chiasm of the anterior hypothalamus, and many peripheral clocks. The SCN clock synchronizes the other peripheral oscillators located in each organ. The SCN clock is a self-sustaining circadian oscillator maintaining the daily behavioural, physiological, and neuroendocrine rhythms. The zeitgebers such as light and food are potent synchronizers for the SCN and other peripheral clocks. The thesis was aimed to understand different aspects of the interactions between circadian clocks and feeding behaviour in nocturnal species. We showed in the first and second parts that the ultradian feeding affects the central and peripheral clocks in mice and rats. In the first part, we concluded that the ultradian feeding in mice has major impacts on the SCN clock output and the peripheral clock in the liver, while in the second part ultradian feeding in rats does not have impact on the SCN clock but it affects peripheral clocks and lipid metabolism. In the third part, we showed the differential effects of diet and time restricted feeding in brown adipose tissue and skeletal muscle peripheral clocks. In the fourth part, we showed the role of clock gene Rev-erbα on feeding behaviour and energy metabolism by comparing between global and brain specific knock-out mice. The present studies reveal the interdependency of the circadian clocks and feeding behaviour, and their effects on whole-body metabolism

Full textBeing able to adjust food intake according to the energy density of food is one way to self-regulate energy intake and maintain a healthy energy balance. In the context of the prevalence of overweight in children, it appears crucial to identify early factors that may affect caloric adjustment abilities. During the complementary feeding process, the amount consumed, and in turn, the caloric adjustment abilities depend in part on the quality of the caregiver-infant interaction. An epidemiological study suggests that caloric adjustment abilities might deteriorate around one year old; a time when the transition from baby-foods towards adult like foods occurs in the infant diet.In this work, we performed a laboratory-based assessment of the infants’ caloric adjustment ability by adapting the preload paradigm. By using a longitudinal approach, we first described the developmental changes in infants’ caloric adjustment ability between 11 and 15 mo. Then, we explored whether some factors related to the infants’ characteristics, the type of foods consumed or the mother-infant interaction during the meal were linked to the caloric adjustment ability.We showed that, at 11 and 15 mo, the infants under-compensated their energy intake after consuming a food preload more or less caloric. However, we observed large inter-individual variation in this ability. The level of caloric adjustment was not better when considering the total food intake during the 24 h following the food preload consumption. At 11 mo, infants had better caloric adjustment ability when the mother adapted the spoonful pace to the spoonful weight content; this dynamic during the meal could reflect a responsive feeding. At 15 mo, the infants exhibited a volumetric adjustment rather than a caloric adjustment. Regardless of the studied age, no significant links were found between the infants’ feeding experience (milk and complementary foods) and their caloric adjustment ability. Regarding the developmental changes, we observed that the infants’ caloric adjustment ability deteriorated from 11 to 15 mo. The more this deterioration, the more the infants were perceived as ‘attracted by food’ by their mothers. Moreover, the more this deterioration, the more the z-BMI increased between 11 and 15 mo, and the higher the z-BMI was at 24 mo. In addition, the more the infants were exposed to a wide range of energy density for the vegetable-based recipes between 8 and 11 mo, the lower their z-BMI was at 8 and at 11 mo. This work highlights that caloric adjustment ability is associated with various early factors related to the mother-infant dyadic functioning and the infants’ weight status. These results open up a new research field to understand the causality underpinning these links. In fine, this would allow to assist parents to support an optimal development of their infant’s caloric adjustment abilities during the key period of the first 1000 days
Peyrebonne, Nathalie. "La table et les aliments dans les dialogues et le theatre du xvie siecle espagnol." Paris 3, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997PA030146.
Full textDuring the sixteenth century meals and food in spain took on a new importance in daily life as well as in literature, especially in the theatre and dramatic dialogue. Eating, speaking, and writing became seemly intertwined. In the literature of the period, meals are introduced as a setting in order to facilitate the flow of words and the elaboration of ideas; these ideas as a whole are accordingly themselves savoured like a culinary delicacy. Through the "lens" of meals and food a series of essential issues present themselves. These include, most notably, the theme of the creation of literature as well as its reading. The preparation of the meal and the setting of the table allows man to present himself in all his glory, to affirm his own mastery, and even to transcend himself. On the other hand, it is around the table, that man often can sees himself degenerate through the annihilation of his most human qualities. Indeed, the ambiguity and unlimited possibilities of the feast typify the renaissance consciousness of the possibilities - and limits - inherent in the human condition

Full textSituated at the interface of biology and the humanities, the anthropology of food is a privileged field for the study of ancient societies. Reconstructing the food of the past in all its complexity and diversity can only be achieved by combining the various available sources. Traditionally, the diet of past populations has been studied by historians (written sources) and archaeologists (material sources), but today the development of techniques of biological analysis on human samples offers new ways of tackling this issue. We have chosen the case study of Yakutia, as the abundance of historical and ethnographic data provide a solid contextual framework, and tombs discovered in the permafrost allow access not only to artefacts and funeral meals, but also to very well preserved biological samples. The study of the diet of the Yakuts, who are traditionally horse and cattle breeders, is part of European colonial history and therefore illustrates the transition from a traditional way of life to one dominated by a market economy, in a particular environment where the temperature can reach -71° C in winter. The territory of Yakutia, spread over three million square kilometers, includes various biotopes with valleys and lakes rich in pastures in Central Yakutia and Viluy, and mountainous regions in the North less favourable for breeding, where hunting has always remained an important food source. Our objective is to reconstruct the evolution of the Yakut diet, and to determine its regional particularities as well as those of its social (as determined by artefacts found in the tombs) and sexual categories. To achieve these objectives, we compared data from several sources: 1. The synthesis of historical sources, documents of Russian administration -- some of them unpublished --, as well as ethnographic descriptions from the 17th century to the beginning of the 20th century, which attest that the diet of the Yakuts was mainly based on the products of horse and cattle breeding, while hunting, fishing, and gathering served as a source of supplementary food, in a variable way depending on the region. They attest to the diversity of dairy products and the consumption of various plants. A profound transformation of society after the arrival of the Russians is due to the sedentarization of the Yakuts, with the development of cattle breeding and a decline in the number of horses. Trade also introduced new products. Finally, the agriculture instituted by the Russians gradually replaced the gathering and preparation of the cambium of trees, used until then as flour. 2. The study of archaeological artefacts (food remains, dishes and smoking accessories), deposited in more than 150 tombs during the period extending from the 15th century to the beginning of the 19th century, highlights the important role of food offerings (meat and dairy products) in funeral rites prior to mass Christianization in the 19th century. 3. The analysis of stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen on the bone collagen of 61 buried subjects and 19 fauna samples (including 11 archaeological and 8 modern) distinguishes meat and fish consumption. It reveals differences of diet by geographic region, and a stable diet among the wealthier Yakuts. [...]

La mia tesi si incentra sulla questione della trasformazione della pratica classica del banchetto nel confronto, da una parte con la nuova situazione sociale e politica dovuta all’insediamento dei regni post-romani, e, dall’altra, con l’intensificazione della cosiddetta “cristianizzazione” del mondo romano. La tesi riguarda lo spazio romano occidentale (cioè Gallia, Italia, Spagna) a partire dal momento in cui si diffonde la grande moda dell’ascetismo orientale dalla seconda metà del IV secolo. La questione principale della tesi, che occupa i capitoli tre e quattro, riguarda il discorso cristiano e ascetico sull’alimentazione e poi le risposte date dai gruppi sociali il cui uso del banchetto è documentato a sufficienza, in fatti specie gli aristocratici, il mondo monastico, e gli eremiti. I due primi capitoli riguardano, rispettivamente, la pratica del banchetto classico nella tarda antichità e la questione della presenza “barbara” e dell’immagine del mangiatore barbaro in quei secoli. La conclusione della tesi si colloca alla fine del VI secolo, in un momento in cui il mondo romano è indubbiamente trasformato.
My doctoral thesis concentrates on the question of the transformation of the classical banquet through the encounter with, on the one hand, the new sociopolitical situation due to the migration and installation of the new successor kingdoms ;and on the other hand, with the intensification of the Christianization of the Roman world. My research focuses on the Western Roman world (Gaul, Italy and Spain) from the moment in which the eastern ascetic discourse spreads widely in the West in the second half of the 4th century, causing what Robert Markus calls “The end of Ancient Christianity”. The main question of my thesis regards the Christian and ascetic discourse on food practices and the answers given by the social groups who’s uses of the banquet is documented enough. In this case, the aristocrats (within which the bishops), the monastic communities and the hermits. The second question taken into consideration in my thesis is the one presented by the “barbarian” presence and the literary image of the barbarian eater in these centuries of socio cultural transformation. The terminus ante quem of my research is placed at the end of the 6th century, in a undoubtly transformed Roman world.

Full textMetabolism is the sum of all the chemical reactions in an organism. Energy uptake allows animals to perform biosynthesis, maintenance, and external work. If the energy produced is converted into heat, we can estimate the energy metabolism as the rate of conversion of chemical energy into metabolic rate (MR), which allows the calculation of energy requirements. The main objective of this work is to assess the metabolic cost of physiological work in the blood-sucking bug Rhodnius prolixus. Our results show that feeding is costly. The MR during feeding in R. prolixus reaches up to 17 times the MR during rest. The mean respiratory quotient is 0.83 during rest and 0.52 during feeding. We showed that the deactivation of Heat Shock Proteins on R. prolixus, causes a diminution of MR during digestion. Then, we showed that the energy cost (EC) during walking can reach up to 1.7 times the EC during rest. Finally, we found that the EC of production of one egg of R. prolixus was 11.7 J. All our results provide tools to a better understanding of biology and ecology of an hematophagous insect to provide the necessary elements to better control of transmission of vector-borne diseases

Full textContext. Food attitudes and behaviors developed during early childhood greatly influence the future relationships that children will have with food. Parents play a major role in this part of their preschool child’s life. Objective The main goal of this study is to explore attitudes and behaviors that Quebec parents adopt at meal time with their preschooler in order to encourage healthy eating practices as well as enjoyable family meals. Methodology. To collect data, postcards, an innovative tool, were sent to six hundred fifty day-care centres, also known as Centres de la petite enfance (CPE), of which there are more than a thousand in Quebec. The postcards were then distributed to parents, who were asked to respond to two open-ended questions. Analysis of the qualitative data was based on Jean-Pierre Poulain’s food intake model. Results. More than a thousand (1,257) postcards were used in the analysis. Data collected illustrate first and foremost the vision that parents have of healthy eating and reveal two diametrically opposed perspectives: quality and quantity. With regard to family meals, respondents frequently mentioned conversation at the table, the presence of all family members and the absence of television while eating. Conclusion. Findings from this study show the diverse strategies used by Quebecers during mealtimes. The data are essential to defining key public health messages about eating habits for children that should be promoted among these influential actors.

Full textBackground The Westernization of lifestyles, notably dietary habits, seems to be largely responsible for the ongoing increase of incidence of cardiovascular diseases. The postprandial period, where vascular and metabolic homeostatic regulating processes are under pressure, is of considerable importance in the development or prevention of atherosclerosis and now represents the majority of waking hours. The understanding of the postprandial effects of meals of varying composition is therefore essential in our effort to prevent such diseases. Objectives The main objective of this research project was to study the endothelial and metabolic responses to a mixed Mediterranean meal (MMM), since they are unknown. This project also aimed to evaluate the microvascular impact of such a meal and to characterize the composition of postprandial plasma fatty acids. These elements were also evaluated following a saturated fatty meal (HSFAM) for comparison. Methods Twenty-eight (28) healthy men free of cardiovascular diseases and risk factors were randomly assigned one of two test meals. The MMM, consisting of fresh salmon and vegetables cooked in olive oil, contained 7.87g of SFA and 2.29g of omega- 3 fatty acids, while the HSFAM, consisting of a breakfast sandwich with egg, sausage and cheese contained 14.78g of SFA. Evaluations of endothelial function by brachial ultrasound (FMD), of microvascular function by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and of plasma fatty acids composition were done in the fasted and postprandial states. Results Two subgroups of responders to the test meals emerged from this work. A first subgroup of subjects with high-normal fasting triglyceridemia (hnTG) experienced impairments of endothelial function following the HSFAM while a second subgroup of subjects with low-normal triglyceridemia (lnTG) did not experience any endothelial alterations following this meal. Interestingly, the MMM had no deleterious endothelial impact in any of those subgroups. Moreover, the hnTG subjects demonstrated greater postprandial triglyceridemic load (iAUC) that was in addition enriched with stearic acid after HSFAM and omega-3 PUFA following the MMM. Assessment of microvascular function revealed postprandial prolongation of post-ischemic reoxygenation only in hnTG subjects suggestive of alterations of capillary recruitment. These changes, which seemed to be more important after the HSFAM, could be partly responsible for its negative impact on FMD. Conclusions This clinical trial demonstrates in innovative ways that a MMM has no deleterious effects on endothelial function irrespective of triglyceridemia in normal ranges. In addition, high but normal fasting triglyceride levels suggest metabolic and endothelial dysfunctions following nutritional challenges such as a HSFAM. Consumption of Mediterranean meals by healthy individuals with marginal triglyceride levels would be beneficial, perhaps even more so than for individuals with lower triglyceride levels, in preventing atherogenesis and cardiovascular diseases.

Full textFood is a fundamental concern in Joris-Karl Huysmans’ work. His novels reveal a genuine interest for the edible, and a number of his protagonists embark on a quest for an acceptable meal. But beyond simple dietary preoccupations, I propose that food in Huysmans’ œuvre constitutes a veritable topos that structures and determines the narrative. From the indigestion caused by toxic meals to the spiritual elevation permitted by heavenly foods, eaters engage in an increasingly mystical journey as they attempt to find alimentary bliss. To better understand this thematic and discursive evolution, I analyze a small selection of works comprising À Vau-l’eau (1882), En Ménage (1881), À Rebours (1884) and Là-bas (1891). These four texts, studied separately, present a fecund mise en scène of dietary issues; examined diachronically, they reveal a veritable textual and thematic progression, developing and amplifying the question of food that from a vital quest for subsistence evolves into a search for deeper spiritual fulfillment.

Full textContext: Since 1985, the main objective of the Association des services de garde en milieu scolaire du Québec (ASGEMSQ) has been to improve the quality of child care services in schools so that each child could develop in an environment that contributes to its well-being and growth. In partnership with Québec en forme, ASGEMSQ joined a national movement searching to promote healthy lifestyles and initiated actions leading to the development of environment conductive to healthy eating and physical activities in school child care services. To this end, child care providers definitively play a decisive role. Objective: The main objectives of this research are to study the perceptions of school-age child care providers in Quebec with regards to the meal period and the factors that may impair its development, as well as to identify their training needs in nutrition. Methodology: During fall 2014, an electronic survey was sent to 1655 child care providers from Quebec schools. Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests were conducted (SPSS, version 17.01). Results: In total, 624 responses were obtained, a 38% response rate. The meal context appears to be a relatively pleasant moment for the majority of children and educators. Different obstacles had statistically significant relationship with the perception of the meal context as being enjoyable for the majority of children, namely failure from parents to comply with instructions regarding lunch box content, children personal eating pace, the need to appropriately support children with special needs, non-compliance to the school code of conduct and the general attitude of the school's staff. The results show considerable interest from child care providers in various nutrition training activities. Moreover, specific training themes have a statistically significant relationship with obstacles related to a favorable meal context and to certain characteristics of the environment likely to impact them. Conclusion: The data confirm training needs and the importance to support partnerships with school and parents so that the meal context represents enjoyable moments. Elementary school day care is an environment to be documented. It constitutes a living environment that a majority of children experiment on a daily base. In collaboration with child-care center managers, school principals and parents, actions can be planned to create environments that support the adoption of healthy lifestyles. This transversal study conducted in Quebec's elementary schools contributed to the study on the importance of the environments on overall healthy lifestyles.

Full textObjective. To describe Canadians' attitudes and habits with regard to home food preparation for family meals in order to seize the motivations to be exploited during the promotion of these habits. Methods. An electronic poll of 39 multiple-choice questions was posted on the Dieticians of Canada's website from November 16th till December 22nd, 2006. The analyzed statements cover the perception of the benefits associated with home cooking, supper planning and family meals, the barriers to cooking, the preparation time and supper planning, the development of cooking skills, sources of recipes ideas and consumption of family meals. Results. A total of 4080 individuals completed the questionnaire. Although they believe that home cooking can improve the food quality and eating habits, the participants meet several barriers to food preparation in everyday life, among which the lack of time, energy, ideas and planning. Although a majority of Canadians have family suppers, there are gaps according to age groups and Canadian regions. Conclusion. This study highlights the relevance of elaborating communications strategies to inform consumers of the benefits of home cooking and family meals in order to help them to deal with the challenges associated with these habits. If nutritionists are the best interveners, interdisciplinary collaborations are proposed to promote a healthy, well planned home cooking enjoyed with the family.
