From the ancient Near East to modern-day North America, communal consumption of food and drink punctuates the rhythms of human societies. Feasts serve many social purposes, establishing alliances for war and marriage, mobilizing labor, creating political power and economic advantages, and redistributing wealth. In this collection of fifteen essays, archaeologists and ethnographers explore the material record of food and its consumption as social practice. They examine the locations of roasting pits, hearths, and refuse deposits, or the presence of special decorative ceramics, a

J. Lalouette, professeure d'histoire, conduit une étude des jours fériés, qui correspondent à des fêtes républicaines, patriotiques, contestataires, folkloriques, religieuses ou militaires, sur plus de deux siècles. Elle rappelle qu'ils répondaient d'abord à une fonction religieuse ou politique mais que ceux-ci ont désormais pris une autre signification dans une société détachée de la religion.

Ancient China and Greece are two classical civilisations that have exerted far-reaching influence in numerous areas of human experience and are often invoked as the paradigms in East-West comparison. This book examines gender relations in the two ancient societies as reflected in convivial contexts such as family banquets, public festivals, and religious feasts. Two distinct patterns of interpersonal affinity and conflict emerge from the Chinese and Greek sources that show men and women organising themselves and interacting with each other in social occasions intended for collective pursuit of pleasure. Through an analysis of the two different patterns, Yiqun Zhou illuminates the different socio-political mechanisms, value systems, and fabrics of human bonds in the two classical traditions. Her book will be important for readers who are interested in the comparative study of societies, gender studies, women's history, and the legacy of civilisations.

This provocative collection draws on extensive ethnographic fieldwork to shed light on the role that public ceremonies play in affirming or debunking cultural identities associated with the South. W. J. Cash's 1941 observation that ""there are many Souths and many cultural traditions among them"" is certainly validated by this book. Although the Civil War and its ""lost cause"" tradition continues to serve as a cultural root paradigm in celebrations, both uniting and dividing loyalties, southerners also embrace a panoply of public rituals--parades, cook-offs, kinship homecom-ings, church assem

Vieringen ter ere van het Huis van Bourgondië-Habsburg vormden in de vroegmoderne Vlaamse en Brabantse steden een belangrijke aanleiding voor de productie en opvoering van literaire teksten. Ze droegen daardoor in belangrijke mate bij aan de bijzondere ontwikkeling van het stedelijke literaire leven. Op hun beurt waren toneelstukken, gedichten en liederen bepalend voor het verloop, de werking en de betekenis van het stedelijke vorstenfeest. Deze publicatie onderzoekt voor het eerst de interactie tussen dergelijke vorstenfeesten en literatuur binnen een breed geografisch en tijdskader. Speciale aandacht gaat uit naar de kamers van retorica, die zich bezighielden met het schrijven en opvoeren van teksten en nauw betrokken waren bij het organiseren van vorstenfeesten. Hun stempel op deze vieringen blijkt groter en meer divers te zijn geweest dan tot op heden werd aangenomen. Voor vorst en stad beweegt zich op het snijvlak van politieke, literatuur- en cultuurgeschiedenis. Het toont aan hoe nauw literatuur en politiek in de vroegmoderne Nederlandse steden met elkaar verweven waren.
