Sommario/riassunto

This atlas aims to provide the reader with key pointers for a spatial analysis of the social, economic and political dynamics at work in Jordan, an exemplary country of the Middle East complexities. Being a product of seven years of scientific cooperation between Ifpo, the Royal Jordanian Geographic Center and the University of Jordan, it includes the contributions of 48 European, Jordanian and International researchers. A long historical part followed by sections on demography, economy, social disparities, urban challenges and major town and



country planning, sheds light on the formation of Jordanian territories over time.Jordan has always been looked on as an exception in the Middle East due to the political stability that has prevailed since the country’s Independence in 1946, despite the challenge of integrating several waves of Palestinian, Iraqi and - more recently - Syrian refugees. Thanks to this stability and the peace accord signed with Israel in 1994, Jordan is one of the first countries in the world for development aid per capita.

Sommario/riassunto

Comment les consommateurs arbitrent entre santé et plaisir, nutrition et saveur, bienséance et confort, croyance et science, tempérament et pression sociale, innovation et habitude, ou encore considérations éthiques et servitudes quotidiennes. Quelle légitimité accordent-ils aux paroles d’interlocuteurs venant d’horizons divers - de la médecine à la publicité, du gouvernement à la philanthropie - et qui diffusent messages et recommandations concernant la nourriture et l’hygiène de vie ? Ce sont les questions qui animent ce livre. Les chapitres contribuent à la restitution de l’univers informationnel des consommateurs depuis le XIVe au XXe siècle. Ils s’attachent à décrire et expliquer l’émergence et le fonctionnement des repères qui permettent de nous orienter dans les marchés alimentaires et des services qui s’y rattachent. Les thèmes concernent l’identification des produits et de leurs caractéristiques, l’imagination liée à l’alimentation et à la cuisine, et l’intervention des autorités publiques dans les transactions alimentaires.
