A “Very Complicated” Diet for a Lion

Kei Katsui

Katsui analyzes one of Hemingway’s fables as crucial for its use of food and drink as a theme to the narrative. To Katsui, food and drink is central to the feeling of “belonging,” of being an insider in the exclusive Venice society. Choice of food and drink reveals the values of a character and indicates the way in which they assimilate into a foreign culture.

Abstract This article offers a discussion of two books by British women which describe travels in Spain during the post-war period, that is, during the dictatorship of General Franco. The aim is to analyse how Spanish culture and society are represented in these texts, and to what extent the authors engage with questions of the ethics of travelling to Spain in this period. Two different forms of travel - by car, and by horse - also influence the way the travellers can connect with local people; and the individual’s interest in Spain as a historical site, or as a timeless escape from industrial northern Europe, similarly affect the focus of the accounts. The global politics of travel writing, and the distinction between colonial and cosmopolitan travel writers, are important elements in our understanding of the way a foreign culture is articulated for the home market. Women’s travel writing also has its own discursive history which we consider briefly. In conclusion, texts involve common discursive and linguistic strategies which have to negotiate the specificity of an individual’s travels in a particular time and place. The authors and books referred to are Rose Macaulay’s Fabled Shore: From the Pyrenees to Portugal (1949) and Penelope Chetwode’s Two Middle-Aged Ladies in Andalusia (1963).

This service aims to introduce the use of Malay tanjak to students and provide understanding and awareness about the need to know the use of Malay tanjak in daily life. Tanjak is a tradition and identity of the Malay community. Tanjak is one of the clothing accessories for men in Malay, the tanjak is used on the head as a symbol of Malay society. Tanjak has a symbol of authority among the Malay community, the higher and more complex the shape will show the higher social status of the owner. Tanjak is usually used by men when they want to go out, like a skull cap. Tanjak is commonly used by Malay people in all layers of social class, both in the form of royal support as aristocrats and lower classes of society. The development of life which is followed by the development of technology and the inclusion of foreign culture slowly shifts the existence of the use of Malay inclines. Previously, not using a hill was considered to violate adat. Therefore, the use of tanjak is a true Malay identity. The use of the Malay hill was reintroduced because many people did not know it, one of which was the use of the hill climb for sultans, commanders and ordinary people, the way to use the Malay hill was certainly very different from one another, for which students could later apply the use of the Malay hill to the community.

Figura czy forma? Punkt widzenia żołądkaUwagi Immanuela Kanta na temat kwestii kulinarnych, a  zwłaszcza jego nierzadko komiczne zalecenia żywieniowe, nie zaprzątały do tej pory uwagi badaczy życia i  myśli Kanta, którzy przytaczali je zazwyczaj jedynie w  prześmiewczych celach. Co więcej, ponieważ smak kulinarny — właściwość pobudzanego przez pokarm lub napój języka — to smak jedynie zmysłowy i  jako taki niedający się komunikować, a  w  konsekwencji, w  przeciwieństwie do sądów o  pięknie, niestanowiący części estetyki, wypowiedzi Kanta na temat jedzenia wydają się ledwie poboczne. A  jednak w  wielu rzucanych jakby na stronie uwagach Kant roztrząsa, dlaczego, mimo że jako właściwość zmysłowa, a  więc wadliwa w  tym sensie, że nie sposób jej uniwersalnie podzielać, smak stał się w  tak wielu językach — zwłaszcza w  łacinie i  językach romańskich, ale też w  niemieckim — mianem estetycznej władzy sądzenia: sądu smaku i  idealnych odczuć w  nich wyrażanych. Niniejszy artykuł wychodzi od tego pytania i  omawia wyjaśnienia Kanta, wykazując, że smak podniebienny, tak jak zagadnienia związane z  jedzeniem i  piciem, odgrywa nieoczekiwanie ważną rolę w  rozumowaniu Kanta, w  tym w  Kantowskim wyobrażeniu myśli jako takiej. Figure, or form? The viewpoint of the stomachImmanuel Kant’s remarks on culinary matters, above all his frequently hilarious dietetic recommendations, received little attention by Kant scholars, except in order to poke fun at the philosopher. Furthermore, since gustatory taste — the property of the tongue to be affected by food or drink — as merely sensory taste is not universally communicable, and hence does not, like judgments about the beautiful, allow for an aesthetics, Kant’s elaborations on food seem to be of minor significance. Yet, in several side remarks, Kant raises the question of why taste,   although it is the property of a sense clearly lacking in so far as its sensations are not universally shareable, became in so many languages — particularly Latin and Roman languages, but German as well — a name for the aesthetic faculty of judgment, in short, for  judgments of taste and the ideal feelings that they express. By following up on this question, and developing Kant’s explanations, the paper seeks to demonstrate that gustatory taste, as well as matters of food and drink, play a rather crucial, and unexpected, role in Kant’s thinking, including the way in which Kant conceives of thought itself.

Sometime between 1533 and 1536, a certain Ivan laganov, writing from prison, addressed a petition to the child ruler Ivan IV in which he suggested that his release would be in the interests of state security. laganov apparently had enjoyed a successful career as a political informer under Ivan’s father, and after the death of Vasilii III had continued to serve his new sovereign in the same manner. On his last mission, he explained, he had reported to Ivan’s boyars as ordered, informing them of the “dangerous talk” he had overheard: “At that time, Sire, I could not plug my ears with pitch; what I heard, Sire, I reported, in the way in which I served and reported to thy father.” As a result, laganov now found himself in fetters, tortured “in the manner of evil traitors and brigands,” and deprived of food and drink.

Unlike the ‘up’ train, the ‘down’ train to the Sul do Save carried African migrant workers with cash in the form of savings, wages or compensation for injuries sustained in the mines. The mood of many on the train going home was significantly more buoyant than that on the ‘up’ train, even though the returning migrants were often short of sufficient food and drink for the long journey. Passengers with cash savings were subjected to theft at stations or on the train itself. Returning miners also suffered other forms of institutionalised harassment by black and white South Africans preying on ‘foreign’ migrants when the train made enforced and unnecessarily prolonged stops at stations on the way home in order to sell workers refreshments.

Magic and dining have long been popular forms of entertainment. What is more, both involve some kind of transformation, and yet while the more theatrical aspects of dining have grown in popularity in recent decades, there is a surprising paucity of magical food and beverage experiences out there. In this article, we trace the historical appearance of food and drink and culinary items in the performance of magic. We also review some of the more magical elements of food design that have appeared on menus in bars and restaurants in recent years. We introduce the edible lightbulb dish from the menu at Kitchen Theory Chef’s Table and link it to the stage magic of Derren Brown. We also discuss some of the reasons as to why magical food experiences might be rare in the context of dining. In so doing, our hope is to highlight an intriguing area for future research and innovation. Along the way, we identify some possible candidate approaches for the introduction of edible magic onto the menu in the context of modernist cuisine.

Actual basic characteristics of tourist movements of globalization, standardization, market segmentation and computerization, impose to the responsible managers the need of defining that kind of hotel product which would be so attractive with its content to find that part of the consumers which will finally consume that product. This fact goes in favor to the fact that for the entire hotel offer is important the element of exploration of tourist market and defining the segment of tourist demand which has to draw attention, wake up the interest, provoke the desire and initiate on the action with its attractiveness. The hotel product, as the first element of marketing mix, is made of material and unmaterial services which are offered to the hotel guests, and same thing is with hotel service that is in fact a group of many services with which we fulfill the guest’s needs of accommodation, food and drink, and other services that are paid in the usual way in hotelery. When it is mentioned usual and specific hotelery way that means the way on which the guest will satisfy his own needs and motives of traveling. Working we explore the necessary assumptions which have to be fullfiled for better placing of hotel product on the more squemish and demanding tourist market.

AbstractThe problem of extended fusion and identification can be approached from a diachronic perspective. Based on our own research, as well as findings from the fields of social, political, and clinical psychology, we argue that the way contemporary emotional events shape local fusion is similar to the way in which historical experiences shape extended fusion. We propose a reciprocal process in which historical events shape contemporary identities, whereas contemporary identities shape interpretations of past traumas.

Abstract The purpose of human cognition depends on the problem people try to solve. Defining the purpose is difficult, because people seem capable of representing problems in an infinite number of ways. The way in which the function of cognition develops needs to be central to our theories.

Ap stars are peculiar in many aspects. During this century astronomers have been trying to collect data about these and have found a confusing variety of peculiar behaviour even from star to star that Struve stated in 1942 that at least we know that these phenomena are not supernatural. A real push to start deeper theoretical work on Ap stars was given by an additional observational evidence, namely the discovery of magnetic fields on these stars by Babcock (1947). This originated the concept that magnetic fields are the cause for spectroscopic and photometric peculiarities. Great leaps for the astronomical mankind were the Oblique Rotator model by Stibbs (1950) and Deutsch (1954), which by the way provided mathematical tools for the later handling pulsar geometries, anti the discovery of phase coincidence of the extrema of magnetic field, spectrum and photometric variations (e.g. Jarzebowski, 1960).
