Partant des données que nous avons recueilli sur le terrain en Macédoine occidentale et en Thessalie ainsi que dans la bibliographie spécialisée nous examinons la transformation des techniques de préparation de ces fromages. En étudiant les chaînes opératoires suivant lesquelles le lait se transformait en divers produits laitiers dans le cadre traditionnel nous réalisons que les producteurs (éleveurs de bétail où fromagers) disposaient d’un éventail des choix techniques pour fabriquer un certain fromage. Leur objectif était souvent la production de plusieurs produits en traitant successivement les sousproduits du lait. Le traitement et les significations de la notion du “fromage traditionnel” doivent être mis en parallèle avec les pratiques respectées par les fromageries afin de se conformer aux normes de l’UE. THE TRANSFORMATIONS OF CHEESE : TECHNICAL CHANGES AND THE MANAGEMENT OF - Many so-called traditional cheeses in Greece are produced in domestic setting as well as industrial one, and both have a great deal of success among consumers. Based on data gathered through fieldwork in Western Macedonia and in Thessaly, and through the analysis of specialized literature, I examine the transformation in the techniques of preparing these cheeses. By studying the traditional stages of production through which milk is transformed into different dairy products, we see that producers (livestock breeders or cheesemakers) have a range of technical choices at their disposal for manufacturing a given cheese. Their goal is often the production of several products by treating the byproducts of milk in succession. With the aim of drawing some conclusions regarding the treatment and meanings of the notions of “traditional cheese”, I compare these practices to techniques which the cheese-makers follow today in order to adhere to EU norms.

In particular I will examine the role of horticulture in some local communities and the aggressive politics of the Market that are going to change the Sardinian agro-food system profoundly. The products taken in consideration in this paper are potato and tomato: local communities still produce traditional foods based on tomato and potato (such as pibarda de tamata, cohone kun fozza), old men and women continue to cultivate their gardens and the younger generation attempts to obtain EU certifications for tomato and potato, such as the IGP and IGT. In this, they receive assistance from both the regional government (Regione Autonoma della Sardegna) and the Italian state. However, in the meantime, old varieties of tomatoes and potatoes have already disappeared, and some products and production systems are about to evaporate or to become standardized in spite of local efforts to preserve their distinctiveness. 212 Entres autres / Among others 0404149P1411A238 9:15 Page 213 Emprunts et distinctions culturelles à travers les comportements alimentaires Conflict Views on managing Life Atelier 1 Particularisme et standardisation dans les cultures alimentaires European products : Distinctiveness and standardisation in food cultures 4-1.5 Thème 4 15/04/04 Outlaws or Conforming to EU Policies? Food and the Tactics and Strategies of Greek Identities, Conformes ou non-conformes aux réglements européens? Les produits alimentaires et les stratégies des identités grecques, Eleftheria DELTSOU, Department of History, Archaeology and Social Anthropology, University of Thessaly, Volos (Grèce) The EU is often seen as a force, even as a threat, that may lead to the homogenization of the national cultures of its member states. The question of the cultural particularity of the different member states and the question of their future development will be discussed in this paper by focusing on different reactions that European Union guidelines and programs triggered in Greece. ”We’ll become outlaws” was heard some time ago concerning the banning of the ”traditional” kokoretsi meat dish, an EU prohibition that came as a consequence of the mad cow disease. At the same time, a continuously growing number of female rural cooperatives get funded by EU programs to produce foodstuff on the basis of their ”traditionality”. The paper will discuss aspects of Greek identity that are implicit or explicit in these two cases and how the EU both suppresses and promotes distinctiveness, while it provides the arena in which local, national, gender and class identities are constructed, relate to and interact with each other. 213 Entres autres / Among others 4 0404149P1411A238 4-1.6 Thème 4 15/04/04 9:15 Page 214 Emprunts et distinctions culturelles à travers les comportements alimentaires Conflict Views on managing Life Atelier 1 Particularisme et standardisation dans les cultures alimentaires European products : Distinctiveness and standardisation in food cultures New Wineries in Cyprus : aspects of tradition, or facets of European entrepreneurial innovation ? Nouveaux vins à Chypre: reflets de la tradition ou reflets de l'innovation entrepreneuriale européenne, Anne JEPSON, University of Edinburgh (GB) 4 Up until relatively recently, the wine industry in Cyprus was dominated by four large producers. It was not marketed widely abroad, except as ‘sherry’. Now, however, there are a growing number of small family wine producers, using the most up to date technology and equipment. There is a strong entrepreneurial spirit on the island, and modern methods and foreign grape varieties are being mixed with local ones to produce a range of excellent wines. The market for them is still predominantly local, but their publicity and presentation is confident and of high quality. Much of it is emblematic of a typically Cypriot appeal to ancient mythology, tradition and the long and individual history of wine production the island. Vines are the predominant crop in the Pafos region, although many vineyards stand abandoned. It appears that these new wines will be part of what culturally defines Cyprus within the EU. All stress the value of the unique, ‘ancient’ local grape varieties, and also the innovation that has been used in linking them to the well-known varieties such as ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ and ‘Chardonnay’. This paper will examine the extent to which these wines and wine growers are prepared, and how self-conscious that preparation is, in creating wine as a facet of cultural identity within the EU. 214 Entres autres / Among others 0404149P1411A238 9:15 Page 215 Emprunts et distinctions culturelles à travers les comportements alimentaires Conflict Views on managing Life Atelier 1 Particularisme et standardisation dans les cultures alimentaires European products : Distinctiveness and standardisation in food cultures 4-1.7 Thème 4 15/04/04 Normes d’hygiène, normes de fabrication et protection de l’origine des productions locales : le mariage impossible, Delphine BALVET, Laurence BERARD, Philippe MARCHENAY, CNRS, Unité mixte de recherche Eco-anthropologie et ethnobiologie, Bourg-enBresse (France) Aujourd’hui, les productions locales et traditionnelles sont fortement investies dans les différents Etats de l’Union européenne. Leur localisation géographique, leur profondeur historique et le fait qu’elles reposent sur des savoir-faires partagés leur communiquent une spécificité, que l’on cherche à valoriser. Mais paradoxalement, alors que sont mises en place des actions de promotion et des règlements de protection de l’origine géographique (AOP, IGP), les normes d’hygiène et les normes de fabrication posent problème et constituent des points de blocage. En effet, leur application s’avère souvent incompatible avec le maintien de la spécificité des produits, elle va même jusqu’à constituer une entrave à leur existence. En France, nombre de professionnels de l’alimentation (producteurs agricoles, artisans, restaurateurs, etc.) témoignent des difficultés à répondre à ces obligations contraignantes. Beaucoup ne peuvent s’y soumettre, devant les difficultés techniques et financières qu’elles entraînent et pensent que les produits risquent de se banaliser. D’autres acceptent, mais au prix de modifications plus ou moins perturbantes. Au-delà de l’usage immodéré que notre société fait de l’image de ces productions, la question est de savoir si leur dimension culturelle est réellement compatible avec leur circulation au sein de la société marchande telle qu’elle s’organise actuellement. HYGIENIC AND MANUFACTURING NORMS AND THE PROTECTION OF THE ORIGIN OF LOCAL PRODUCTS: AN IMPOSSIBLE MARRIAGE - Today, various States of the European Union are heavily investing in local and traditional products. These countries seek to value such products for a specificity which is endowed by their geographic location, their historical depth and by the fact that their producer rely on shared know-how. Paradoxically, however, now that promotional actions and rules for the protection of geographic origin (aop, igp) have been established, hygienic and manufacturing norms pose a problem and create obstacles. In effect, their application often turns out to be incompatible with the maintenance of products’ specificity, even to the point of constituting a hindrance to their existence. In france, numerous food professionals (agricultural producers, craftsmen, restaurateurs, etc.) bear witness to the difficulty of conforming to these constraining obligations. Many of these professionals cannot to the norms them because of the technical and financial difficulties entailed, and because of the perception that their products risk to become commonplace. Others accept the norms, but at the price of more or less disruptive modifications. Aside from the excessive use our society makes of the image of these products, the question is one of knowing if their cultural dimension is really compatible with their circulation in market society as currently organized. 215 Entres autres / Among others 4 0404149P1411A238 4-1.8 Thème 4 15/04/04 9:15 Page 216 Emprunts et distinctions culturelles à travers les comportements alimentaires Conflict Views on managing Life Atelier 1 Particularisme et standardisation dans les cultures alimentaires European products : Distinctiveness and standardisation in food cultures Growing small – Centralisation and differentiation in Scandinavian dairy business, Prospérer à petite échelle centralisation et différenciation dans le secteur laitier scandinave, Håkan JÖNSSON, Dept of European Ethnology, Lund University, Lund (Suède) 4 There has been an increasing demand for organic, small-scale and regionally produced products throughout Europe the last decades. At the same time, the rationalization and centralization in food business has continued. Will the concentration to fewer and larger units of production continue, or can new possibilities for small rural food companies emerge in the age of the New Economy? The paper is trying to address this question through a comparative study of two small dairy companies in Scandinavia, one Danish and one Swedish. The fate of the two companies, one successfully taking market shares while the other has been bought up and shut down by the dominating dairy company in the region, gives material for a discussion of when and how smallness can be a competitive advantage and when it is not. The ethnographic data shows that smallness cannot be seen as an entity determined by the size of the company, but as something the companies must produce in various ways. In this production of smallness, the actual smallness of the company can sometimes be more of a problem than an advantage. 216 Entres autres / Among others 0404149P1411A238 15/04/04 9:15 Page 217 Emprunts et distinctions culturelles à travers les comportements alimentaires Atelier 2 Interferences locales et globales entre santé, identité et biomédecine Conflict Views on managing Life Local-Global Entanglements in Health, Identity, and Biomedicine LOCAL-GLOBAL ENTANGLEMENTS IN HEALTH, IDENTITY, AND BIOMEDICINE, INTERFÉRENCES LOCALES ET GLOBALES ENTRE SANTÉ, IDENTITÉ ET BIOMÉDECINE, 4-2 intro Thème 4 Stefan BECK, Department of European Ethnology, Humboldt University Berlin, Berlin (Allemagne) Biomedicine, genetics and public health regimes are increasingly shaping medical practices on a transnational scale. In addition, by means of defining “patient rights”, informational rules, and “best practices”, transnational bioethical guidelines – as formulated e.g. by the EU in the Oviedo-Protocol (1997) – redefine medical interactions between patients and physicians as well as between citizens and public health care systems. Moreover, data generated by population genetics, genetic testing or epidemiology have the power to establish new “genetic relationships” or to irritate the “imagined communities” of nations and ethnic groups by privileging biology over culture. The workshop invites field work-based case studies with a focus on both shores of the Mediterranean area, focussing on biomedical effects on vernacular notions and practices of kinship, health, the body, and collective and individual identities in historical, contemporary, and comparative perspectives. La biomédecine, la génétique et les régimes de santé publique façonnent de plus en plus les pratiques médicales à un niveau supranational. De plus, à cause de l’émergence des “droits du patient”, des règles informatives et des “meilleures pratiques”, des règles supranationales de bioéthique – telles que celles formulées par exemple par les États-unis dans le Protocole d’Oviedo (1997) – redéfinissent les relations médicales entre les patients et les praticiens, autant qu’entre les citoyens et les systèmes de sécurité sociale. Plus encore, les informations générées par la génétique des populations, par l’expérimentation génétique ou l’épidémiologie ont le pouvoir d’établir des nouvelles “relations génétiques” ou d’égratigner les “communautés imaginaires” que sont la nation ou le groupe ethnique en privilégiant le biologique par rapport au culturel. L’atelier invite à travailler sur des études fondées sur des cas pratiques, ciblées sur les deux rives de la Méditerranée, et plus particulièrement sur les effets de la biomédecine sur les pratiques et les notions vernaculaires de parenté, de santé, de relation au corps ainsi que sur les identités collectives et individuelles dans une perspective comparative historique et contemporaine. 217 Entres autres / Among others 4 0404149P1411A238 15/04/04 9:15 Page 218 4-2.1 Thème 4 Emprunts et distinctions culturelles à travers les comportements alimentaires Atelier 2 Interferences locales et globales entre santé, identité et biomédecine Conflict Views on managing Life Local-Global Entanglements in Health, Identity, and Biomedicine The Information on Xenotransplantation in a Cross Border Perspective, L'information sur la xénotransplantation dans un contexte transfrontalier, Markus IDVALL, Department of European Ethnology, Lund University, Lund (Suède) 4 At the end of the 1990s the biomedicial development of xenotransplantation (transplantation across species borders) was stopped in several European countries because of the discovery that animal virus may spread to humans through clinical transplants. My aim is to discuss the position of the medical researchers in this process of virus debates and scientific standstill. The analysis will be based on a number of in-depth interviews done with Swedish and Italian researchers between 1999 and 2002. The virus alarm turned the information on xenotransplantation into a key matter for the scientific community. Mass media became an important arena of scientific campaigning for what was seen as the correct information on the state of affairs. The informational strategies did, however, also include the everyday life contacts that the researchers had with hospital staff, research colleagues, industrial entrepreneurs etc. The case of xenotransplantation will thus be seen as an example of how different practices of power and resistance take form in relation to varying scales of knowledge diffusion. 218 Entres autres / Among others 0404149P1411A238 15/04/04 9:15 Page 219 Emprunts et distinctions culturelles à travers les comportements alimentaires Atelier 2 Interferences locales et globales entre santé, identité et biomédecine Conflict Views on managing Life Local-Global Entanglements in Health, Identity, and Biomedicine 4-2.2 Thème 4 Blindness : Cultural and incorporeal productions of a condition, La cécité: productions culturelles et incorporelles d'une condition, Bruno Daniel Gomes DE SENA MARTINS, I propose to analyze the symbolic violence resulting from the cultural and political marginalization of the narratives of blind persons, particularly in a tentative to grasp how those narratives are subsumed in a “personal tragedy narrative”. Focusing on blindness, indubitably an important sensorial limitation, this space aims to formulate and reflect on the the multiple questionings that this issue raises, taking as a central reference the persuasion about the persistence and vitality of a “personal tragedy narrative” (Oliver, 1990). This narrative is identified and unveiled here as a conceptual base in the production and reproduction of an insidious social imagery on blindness and blind persons. Grounded in an ethnographic experience with the Associação dos Cegos e Amblíopes de Portugal (ACAPO), I propose to evaluate the implications resulting from the vitality of that hegemonic grammar. A grammar which is hardly sensitive to the lives and the reflexivity of blind persons, particularly, in the way it succeeds operating as a regime of truth by the economic, social and political constraints it imposes. Instigated by the powerful disparity emerging from here, I set out to experience and grasp what is there of empowerment and resistance in the associative discourse of blind people. With the support of a white cane, the epistemological route that I propose to take seeks to introduce the inescapable pertinence of the incorporeal character of every experience as an extension of a cultural grounding of the physical body. In the Portuguese context it is analyzed the intimate relation established between the cultural and political marginalization of the personal narratives of blind persons, and the pertinence assumed by intersubjective projection of blindness as one of the most feared conditions. In this way, the capacity for imaginative projection is to be considered as a vital cognitive faculty, in what is understood as an erroneous emphatic identification, largely contributing to the inculcation of the ideas of inability and hopelessness in the lives of blind persons. Particular emphasis is attributed to the way some corporal differences were reinvested and objectified by modernity as pathological conditions by the structure consolidated in the emergent biomedic paradigm. Finally It is analysed how this paradigm came to inform the “rehabilitative approach” on disabilities, and the political movements raised against its insidious power. 219 Entres autres / Among others 4 0404149P1411A238 4-1 intro Thème 4 15/04/04 9:15 Page 208 Emprunts et distinctions culturelles à travers les comportements alimentaires Conflict Views on managing Life Atelier 1 Particularisme et standardisation dans les cultures alimentaires European products : Distinctiveness and standardisation in food cultures EUROPEAN PRODUCTS : DISTINCTIVENESS AND STANDARDISATION IN FOOD CULTURES, PARTICULARISME ALIMENTAIRES, ET STANDARDISATION DANS LES CULTURES Gisela WELZ, Institute of Cultural Anthropology and European Ethnology, Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Frankfurt (Allemagne) “The implementation of EU guidelines for consumer health and food safety as well as agricultural and environmental policy effects a standardisation of legal frameworks in food production. This intervention process has placed many traditional food products distinctive to local and regional cultures under threat. At the same time, the traditionality of local and regional cuisines turns into a competitive asset both economically and in terms of the assertion of cultural identities, resulting in struggles over the ownership of culinary heritage. The workshop presents field work-based case studies with a focus on the Mediterranean area and allows for comparisons of EU member states with accession candidate countries”. 4 La mise en œuvre de directives pour la santé des consommateurs et la sécurité alimentaire de la part de la Communauté Européenne ainsi que plus généralement la politique agricole et environnementale ont comme résultat une standardisation des normes légales concernant la production alimentaire. Ce processus d’intervention menace de nombreux produits alimentaires traditionnels. En même temps les cuisines traditionnelles régionales ou de terroir se sont transformées en un enjeu sur le plan économique ainsi que sur le plan de la revendication d’identités culturelles et peuvent mener jusqu’aux conflits concernant la propriété d’un patrimoine culinaire particulier. L’atelier invite à proposer des études de terrain axées sur le bassin méditerranéen. Des recherches permettant de faire des comparaisons avec d’autres pays membres de la Communauté européenne ou des États candidats à l’intégration seront particulièrement bienvenues. 208 Entres autres / Among others 0404149P1411A238 9:15 Page 209 Emprunts et distinctions culturelles à travers les comportements alimentaires Conflict Views on managing Life Atelier 1 Particularisme et standardisation dans les cultures alimentaires European products : Distinctiveness and standardisation in food cultures 4-1.1 Thème 4 15/04/04 Home grown: Food debates in Istrian rural tourism, Débat autour de l'alimentation dans le tourisme vert en Istrie, Daniel Winfree PAPUGA, Department of Economics, Oslo University College (Norvège) Istrian "agro-tourism" facilities aim to serve traditional cuisine to guests (who come primarily from Germany, Austria and Italy). Gastronomy is considered part of the region’s cultural heritage, and local Croatian tourist authorities have worked out strict guidelines concerning food authenticity. In order for a facility to keep it’s license, a certain percentage of products must be "home grown", and non-traditional foods are forbidden. However, health authorities and tourism authorities don’t see quite eye to eye on which standards should pertain for these facilities. This paper analyses how discourses of "authenticity" contra "health" contribute to the shaping of tourism in the region. Does the protection of guests entail the modification of cultural heritage? 4 209 Entres autres / Among others 0404149P1411A238 15/04/04 9:15 Page 210 4-1.2 Emprunts et distinctions culturelles à travers les comportements alimentaires Thème 4 Conflict Views on managing Life Atelier 1 Particularisme et standardisation dans les cultures alimentaires European products : Distinctiveness and standardisation in food cultures La cuisine danoise : quel enjeu pour l’identité nationale ? Regard anthropologique, Anne-Elène DELAVIGNE, Laboratoire Eco-anthropologie, Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris (France) 4 La décennie 90 voit dans toute l’Europe la remise en cause des orientations agricoles d’après-guerre et la requalification de filières agricoles en filières “de qualité”. Dans tous les pays du sud de l’Europe, ce mouvement s’accompagne, entre autre, de la promotion des productions locales ou traditionnelles. Ceux-ci mettent en avant un lien à un territoire spécifique, situent l’aliment dans une histoire (plus ou moins) longue et comme le résultat d’un savoir-faire particulier. Dans le contexte de la “patrimonialisation” des productions alimentaires et agricoles locales en Europe, l’exemple danois n’est-il pas paradoxal ? Dans ce pays, cette demande de produits agricoles “de qualité”, née dans les pays du sud de l’Europe, ébranle profondément une représentation jusqu’alors consensuelle du secteur agricole intensif. Le discours de gastronomes, restaurateurs ou journalistes culinaires, insiste sur son rôle paradoxal dans l’évolution du modèle alimentaire et culinaire danois. Celui-ci est l’objet d’interrogations, voire de critiques fortes et défini par défaut, comme une “absence de culture culinaire”. Cette absence est aujourd’hui, et c’est nouveau, vécue comme un manque. On assiste cependant à l’émergence d’une “personnalité culinaire” centrée sur une conception propre de la notion de produit de qualité où domine l’aspect sanitaire. Par cette communication basée sur notre terrain de thèse, nous souhaitons apporter un point de vue comparatiste et issu d’un pays nord européen, de culture protestante, au débat sur les productions alimentaires régionales. ARE THE STAKES FOR NATIONAL IDENTITY? AN - The 1990s throughout Europe witnessed the overhauling of post-War agricultural orientations and the transformation of agricultural sectors into “quality” sectors. In all countries of Southern Europe, this movement was accompanied by the promotion of local or traditional products. National publicity asserted the products’ connection to a specific territory, portraying the foods as part of a (more or less) long history and as the result of a particular know-how. The production of heritage in Denmark went paradoxical ways in the European context of food production: the Southern European demand of “quality products” destabilizes a representation of the Danish agriculture based on intensive production. The discourse of food experts, restaurateurs and food writers insists on its paradoxical role in the evolution of the Danish food and culinary model. This model is the object of discussion, even sharp critiques, and is defined by default as an “absence of culinary culture.” Today, this absence – unlike in the past – is regarded as a lack. However, we are witnessing the emergence of a “culinary character” centered an indigenous conception of quality product. Here the aspect of health is dominant. Based on fieldwork, I intend to bring a comparative point of view to the debate on regional food production by introducing a perspective from Northern Europe.
