Toward a Fermentive Politics --NOTES --BIBLIOGRAPHY --INDEX --CALIFORNIA STUDIES IN FOOD AND CULTUREThroughout American history, ingestion (eating) has functioned as a metaphor for interpreting and imagining this society and its political systems. Discussions of American freedom itself are pervaded with ingestive metaphors of choice (what to put in) and control (what to keep out). From the country's founders to the abolitionists to the social activists of today, those seeking to form and reform American society have cast their social-change goals in ingestive terms of choice and control. But they have realized their metaphors in concrete terms as well, purveying specific advice to the public about what to eat or not. These conversations about "social change as eating" reflect American ideals of freedom, purity, and virtue. Drawing on social and political history as well as the history of science and popular culture, Dangerous Digestion examines how American ideas about dietary reform mirror broader thinking about social reform. Inspired by new scientific studies of the human body as a metabiome-a collaboration of species rather than an isolated, intact, protected, and bounded individual-E. Melanie DuPuis invokes a new metaphor-digestion-to reimagine the American body politic, opening social transformations to ideas of mixing, fermentation, and collaboration. In doing so, the author explores how social activists can rethink politics as inclusive processes that involve the inherently risky mixing of cultures, standpoints, and ideas.California studies in food and culture ;58.Food habitsUnited StatesHistoryDietPolitical aspectsUnited StatesDietSocial aspectsUnited Statesamerican body politic.american dietary guidelines.american eating.dangerous diets.dietary control in america.dietary reform.digestion.food and nutrition.food control.food habits in the us.food obsession.food science.gut health.history of food.history of nutrition.ideal diet for humans.ingestion.marketing nutrition.popular diets.social activism in america.social aspects of food.what should i eat.white middle class diets.Food habitsHistory.DietPolitical aspectsDietSocial aspects394.1/20973DuPuis E.

Now, through 1,900 letters from friends and readers, Francesca Nencioni offers a different and more ample overview of the fundamental stages in the life and works of the writer, focusing above all on the years of his university training in Pisa. Of particular interest is the appendix of carefully annotated unpublished texts, which offers 19 letters from Dessí to friends and scholars, the complete two-way correspondence with Walter Binni, and the letters sent to the friend and disciple of the great historian, Delio Cantimori.
