Philosophy Kitchen, 20, I/2023: dieci
No full textPhilosophy Kitchen compie dieci anni. Con questo numero festeggiamo questa decade, attraversando le linee di ricerca che hanno abitato la Rivista nella speranza di rilanciarle verso gli anni che verranno. Ecco dunque il nostro stato dell’arte, da cui scientificamente ripartiamo. Un numero costruito come un’occasione di riflessione sulla rivista stessa, uno sguardo introspettivo che guarda al passato e insieme lo proietta verso il futuro. Tra quelli passati e presenti, dieci membri del comitato di redazione hanno scelto un loro personale autore di riferimento: dieci autori che, dovendo scegliere, ci si porterebbe su un’isola deserta o, magari, che si salverebbe dal disastro universale, consegnandolo ai posteri. E dieci invitati, studiosi di riconosciuta fama chiamati a una rilettura di quegli autori, una esplorazione, un rilancio. A presentare e motivare le scelte, dieci introduzioni, che legano ciascun curatore, il suo autore e il suo invitato, liberamente scritte. Ciò che emerge è una super-sintesi della posizione di Philosophy Kitchen. Una posizione sfaccettata, proprio come il prisma trascendentale del primo numero, e costruita dalla e sulla contaminazione di sguardi e discipline. I dieci autori sono forse dei classici: non altrettanto le dieci letture che ne sono date, proprio perché una continua ri-fondazione del sapere è possibile e, quindi, necessaria
Ingrained habits: the “kitchen cars” and the transformation of postwar Japanese diet and identity
No full textThis article explores the history and politics of American-funded food demonstration buses (“kitchen cars”) in postwar Japan. Their express mission was to transform the Japanese national diet. I make two primary arguments. First, at least in the short to medium term, the kitchen cars were a win-win for both the United States and Japan. On the one hand, Japan benefited because the kitchen cars taught Japanese women how to cook cheap, nutritious, mostly easy dishes to improve the health of their families and the nation. On the other hand, these menus were planned specifically to increase consumption of American agricultural products, especially wheat, soy, and corn. For US agricultural and political interests, in addition to supporting the economic recovery and political stability of a Cold War ally, the kitchen cars – along with the school lunch program – were instrumental in teaching Japan to accept and consume American produce. My second argument concerns the reasons for the kitchen cars’ success. I identify the following two factors: staffing by mostly female professional nutritionists, who combined authority with approachability for the kitchen cars’ main audiences of middle-aged, married women; and the kitchen cars’ mobility, which allowed them to reach even remote villages and hamlets.Published online: 16 Oct 2020 ファイル公開：2022/03/16journal articl
365 Things I Learned in My Kitchen
No full textHello! I\u27m Katie, and I\u27ve been living in Belgium for about ten years. Belgian food is delicious, but sometimes you just need something that reminds you of home. Finding this can pose a problem in Belgium, so I often make this from scratch. I don\u27t grow our own or milk cows or anything like that, but I do cook with food that my grandmother would recognise. I also love Asian and Indian food and I often make this too (it’s the only way to guarantee you get the spiciness you need!). I try to cook low-fat, although some things I just refuse to meddle with (such as sticky toffee pudding)
Do Soup Kitchen Meals Contribute to Suboptimal Nutrient Intake & Obesity in the Homeless Population?
No full textThe double burden of suboptimal nutrient intake and obesity exists when available foods lack essential nutrients to promote health and provide high amounts of energy. This study evaluated the nutrition content of 41 meals served to the homeless at 3 urban soup kitchens. The mean nutrient content of all meals and of meals from each of the kitchens was compared to two-thirds of the estimated average requirement (EAR). The mean nutrient content of the meals did not provide two-thirds of the EAR for energy, vitamin C, magnesium, zinc, dietary fiber, or calcium but provided 11.8% of calories from saturated fat. On average one meal did not meet homeless individuals’ estimated requirements; however, 2 meals did meet estimated requirements but provided inadequate fiber and high amounts of energy, saturated fat, and sodium. Soup kitchen meals may contribute to the high prevalence of obesity and chronic disease reported in the homeless, food insecure population
Gender dichotomies in the kitchen: feminine and masculine qualities in spaces and artifacts
No full textUsing a postmodern theory of close readings, I investigated three artifacts: the KitchenAid Stand Mixer, the George Foreman Grill, and the Keurig Coffee Maker to trace the changing values as imbedded in kitchens in the early twenty-first century. The kitchen indicates a space in the home filled with hidden symbols and ideologies that reflect the identities of its owners. Historically, the kitchen has primarily been associated with feminine qualities, but today it represents more of a hybrid space, intertwining masculine and feminine genders. I observe this gender dichotomy in the layout and design of the kitchen, but also in the objects placed there. In addition, I characterized a set of wedding registries from Belk Department Store and investigated a set of floor plans from Better Homes and Gardens to further investigate the gender dichotomies of the kitchen

"Let the feminine plebiscite be consulted": English Feminists' Campaign Journalism, Foreign Policy and the Crisis in France of 1870-71
No full textFeminist campaign journalism of the 1860s and 1870s both promoted women’s campaigns and expressed opinions on spheres outside those usually ascribed to women, including foreign events. English feminists’ activist and journalistic responses to the French crisis of 1870-71, from the commencement of the Franco-Prussian War through to the defeat of the Paris Commune, contextualise key events in the women’s campaigns of the same period. I argue that feminist writings of this period were influenced not only by feminist campaigning but also by the campaigners’ political ideologies. The feminist press challenged the notion of an ‘imagined community’ with regard to English attitudes to European affairs. Such attitudes were embedded in English masculine notions of self-identity that defined itself against a ‘foreign other’. Instead, the feminist press created their own ‘imagined community’. However, this may itself be challenged, as it emerged from English feminists’ experiences which were themselves grounded in their own class privileges and political ideologies
Algoritmo
No full textL’algoritmo è un procedimento comunicabile. Sebbene non siano date definizioni precise e condivise fra i campi tecnici, nell’interpretazione matematica può essere detto algoritmo uno schema orientato alla soluzione di uno specifico problema che comprende una sequenza finita di istruzioni. L’algoritmo è quindi un modo formalizzato di affrontare una questione: un approccio replicabile
How one woman revolutionised Polish kitchens: Barbara Brukalska and her modern kitchen design in the late 1920s
No full textArchitects have historically played an important role in kitchen designs, including notable female architects like Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky, author of the 1926 Frankfurt Kitchen. Their solutions resulted not only from practical needs, but also from social and cultural changes at the time. This was also the case in Poland, although this is less widely recognized in Western architectural history. Barbara Brukalska, born in Brzeźce, Poland in 1899, was one of the first women to graduate from Warsaw University of Technology’s Faculty of Architecture and became the first female professor there in 1948. She worked in partnership with her husband Stanisław and together they became one of the most notable duos in modern architecture before II World War. In one of the housing estates they designed, Barbara proposed a model of a functional kitchen. This research examines the impact of her kitchen design, based on a review of existing literature. The paper begins with an analysis of Polish social changes after the I World War and kitchens before Brukalska’s contribution, followed by an outline of modern kitchens and ideas developed in North America and Germany. Then, Barbara Brukalska’s ideas are outlined and qualitatively analysed in the context of her life. In conclusion, an assessment is made of the actual impact of her proposed solutions, which in the end did not meet her expectations within the Polish society.AR2A011Architectural History ThesisArchitecture, Urbanism and Building Science
