Michael Pollan and ethical eating.
No full textUniversity of Minnesota M.A. thesis. July 2011. Major: Communication studies. Advisor:Dr. Laurie Ouellette. 1 computer file (PDF); iii, 134 pages.In this thesis I analyze the whole of Michael Pollan’s books and other media appearances
as a cultural technology, in the sense theorized by Foucault, Laurie Ouellette, Tony
Bennett and others. I argue that Michael Pollan’s work can be seen a technology of an
ethical form of neoliberal citizenship. In my first chapter, I point out that while Pollan
attempts to defend his program through a rational economic model of cost-benefit, there
is a morality to his program beyond economic rationality. In my second chapter, I argue
that, though perhaps the moral dimension of Pollan’s program opens up possibilities for a
progressive politics of food, this moral dimension is a highly classed one. In the final
chapter, I look at the ways in which Pollan, while purporting to address a race-, class-,
and gender-neutral audience of equal Americans, defines a problem-cause-solution
constellation that allocates blame on a racialized and gendered basis and calls upon
readers to pay “karmic debts” accrued through failure to pay the “hidden costs” of the
industrial food system, by freely choosing the pleasurable exercise of labor.Zimmerman, Heidi Margaret. (2011). Michael Pollan and ethical eating.. Retrieved from the University Digital Conservancy, https://hdl.handle.net/11299/114329
A boa comida no início do século XXI - Entre Carlo Petrini e Michael Pollan
No full textDissertação de Mestrado em Alimentação – Fontes, Cultura e Sociedade apresentada ao Departamento de Línguas, Literaturas e Culturas da Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de CoimbraEste trabalho apresenta uma reflexão sobre o que significa boa comida para Carlo Petrini, gastrônomo italiano fundador do movimento internacional Slow Food; e para Michael Pollan, jornalista e ativista estadunidense. Usaremos como fontes da construção dessa dissertação os livros Buono, Pulito e Giusto – Principî de nuova gastronomia de Carlo Petrini, publicado em Maio de 2005 e Em defesa da comida: um manifesto de Michael Pollan, publicado em 2008. Duas questões de fundo atravessam nossa investigação. A primeira é uma busca por saber quais são as especificidades, convergências e divergências dos discursos de Petrini e Pollan sobre a boa comida no início do século XXI. A segunda é para pensarmos qual o mundo que possibilita a emergência de tais discursos. Para refletirmos sobre essas questões dividimos o trabalho em três capítulos: 1. O bom e o gosto entre tempos; 2. O bom para Carlo Petrini e o Slow Food; 3. O bom para Michael Pollan.This dissertation presents a reflection on what it means good food for Carlo Petrini, who is an Italian gastronome founder of the international Slow Food movement; and also for Michael Pollan, who is an American journalist and activist. The sources used on the development of this thesis were the books “Buono, Pulito e Giusto - Principî de nuova gastronomia” written by Carlo Petrini, published on May 2005 and “Em defesa da comida: um manifesto” written by Michael Pollan, published on 2008.
Two basic questions traverse this investigation. The first one is a search for knowing which are the specific characteristics, the convergences and the divergences between the discourses of Petrini and Pollan on good food in the early twenty-first century. The second one is to think of what kind of environment enables the emergence of these discourses. To reflect about these questions the dissertation was divided in three chapters: 1. The good and the taste between times; 2. The good according to Carlo Petrini and the Slow Food; 3. The good according Michael Pollan

The Botany of Desire
No full textEvery schoolchild learns about the mutually beneficial dance of honeybees and flowers: The bee collects nectar and pollen to make honey and, in the process, spreads the flowers’ genes far and wide. In The Botany of Desire, Michael Pollan ingeniously demonstrates how people and domesticated plants have formed a similarly reciprocal relationship. He masterfully links four fundamental human desires—sweetness, beauty, intoxication, and control—with the plants that satisfy them: the apple, the tulip, marijuana, and the potato. In telling the stories of four familiar species, Pollan illustrates how the plants have evolved to satisfy humankind’s most basic yearnings. And just as we’ve benefited from these plants, we have also done well by them. So who is really domesticating whom?https://scholar.dominican.edu/cynthia-stokes-brown-books-personal-research/1203/thumbnail.jp
