Food and Knowledge in Renaissance Italy Bartolomeo Scappi's Paper Kitchens

Food and Knowledge in Renaissance Italy Bartolomeo Scappi's Paper Kitchens

Though Bartolomeo Scappi's Opera (1570) the first illustrated cookbook is well known to historians of food up to now there has been no study of its illustrations unique in printed books through the early seventeenth century. In Food and Knowledge in Renaissance Italy Krohn both treats the illustrations in Scappi's cookbook as visual evidence for a lost material reality; and through the illustrations including several newly-discovered hand-colored examples connects Scappi's Opera with other types of late Renaissance illustrated books. What emerges from both of these approaches is a new way of thinking about the place of cookbooks in the history of knowledge. Krohn argues that with the increasing professionalization of many skills and trades Scappi was at the vanguard of a new way of looking not just at the kitchen-as workshop or laboratory-but at the ways in which artisanal knowledge was visualized and disseminated by a range of craftsmen from engineers to architects. The recipes in Scappi's Opera belong on the one hand to a genre of cookery books household manuals and courtesy books that was well established by the middle of the sixteenth century but the illustrations suggest connections to an entirely different and emergent world of knowledge. It is through study of the illustrations that these connections are discerned explained and interpreted. As one of the most important cookbooks for early modern Europe the time is ripe for a focused study of Scappi's Opera in the various contexts in which Krohn frames it: book history antiquarianism and visual studies. | Food and Knowledge in Renaissance Italy Bartolomeo Scappi's Paper Kitchens

Targeted Killings Law and Counter-Terrorism Effectiveness Does Fair Play Pay Off?

Targeted Killings Law and Counter-Terrorism Effectiveness Does Fair Play Pay Off?

This book examines the permissibility and effectiveness of targeted killing in campaigns against terror. Targeted killing has become a primary counterterrorism measure used by several countries in their confrontation with lethal threats. The practice has been extensively used by the US in Afghanistan Iraq Pakistan Yemen and Somalia and by Israel in the West Bank and Gaza. Several studies have already explored the difficult balance between achieving security while maintaining the liberties and rights of a country’s civilians. This book goes a step further by seeking to examine whether maintaining those liberties by complying with legal standards and minimizing unintended deaths can be more effective for national security. Using targeted killing applied by Israel in particular as well as the United States during the first decade of the twenty-first century as case studies this book explores that question and ultimately assesses whether compliance with legal standards can strengthen a state in its campaign against terrorism and thus provide stronger security. The book focuses on civilian-related criteria hypothesizing that minimizing civilian casualties will maximize effectiveness in an asymmetric war setting. The conclusions are not limited to a specific tactic or theater and if adopted might have far-reaching implications for how asymmetric warfare is strategized. This book will be of much interest to students of counter-terrorism law Middle Eastern studies and security studies. | Targeted Killings Law and Counter-Terrorism Effectiveness Does Fair Play Pay Off?

Psychoanalysing Ambivalence with Freud and Lacan On and Off the Couch

Psychoanalysing Ambivalence with Freud and Lacan On and Off the Couch

Taking a deep dive into contemporary Western culture this book suggests we are all fundamentally ambivalent beings. A great deal has been written about how to love – to be kinder more empathic a better person and so on. But trying to love without dealing with our ambivalence with our hatred is often a recipe for failure. Any attempt therefore to love our neighbour as ourselves – or even for that matter to love ourselves – must recognise that we love where we hate and we hate where we love. Psychoanalysis beginning with Freud has claimed that to be in two minds about something or someone is characteristic of human subjectivity. Owens and Swales trace the concept of ambivalence through its various iterations in Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis in order to question how the contemporary subject deals with its ambivalence. They argue that experiences of ambivalence are in present-day cultural life increasingly excised or foreclosed and that this foreclosure has symptomatic effects at the individual as well as social level. Owens and Swales examine ambivalence as it is at work in mourning in matters of sexuality and in our enjoyment under neoliberalism and capitalism. Above all the authors consider how today’s ambivalent subject relates to the racially religiously culturally or sexually different neighbour as a result of the current societal dictate of complete tolerance of the other. In this vein Owens and Swales argue that ambivalence about one’s own jouissance is at the very roots of xenophobia. Peppered with relevant and stimulating examples from clinical work film television politics and everyday life Psychoanalysing Ambivalence breathes new life into an old concept and will appeal to any reader academic or clinician with an interest in psychoanalytic ideas. | Psychoanalysing Ambivalence with Freud and Lacan On and Off the Couch

Alimentary Performances Mimesis Theatricality and Cuisine

A pea soda. An apple balloon. A cotton candy picnic. A magical mole. These are just a handful of examples of mimetic cuisine a diverse set of culinary practices in which chefs and artists treat food as a means of representation. As theatricalised fine dining and the use of food in theatrical situations both grow in popularity Alimentary Performances traces the origins and implications of food as a mimetic medium used to imitate represent and assume a role in both theatrical and broader performance situations. Kristin Hunt's rich and wide-ranging account of food's growing representational stakes asks: What culinary approaches to mimesis can tell us about enduring philosophical debates around knowledge and authenticity How the dramaturgy of food within theatres connects with the developing role of theatrical cuisine in restaurant settings Ways in which these turns toward culinary mimeticism engender new histories advance new epistemologies and enable new modes of multisensory spectatorship and participation. This is an essential study for anyone interested in the intersections between food theatre and performance from fine dining to fan culture and celebrity chefs to the drama of the cookbook. | Alimentary Performances Mimesis Theatricality and Cuisine
