« The gastronomy, a philosophical study of contemporary cooking between food Heritage and ephemeral realizations. »
Supervised by M. Pascal Taranto .
Aix-Marseille

Absent from the philosophic speech for several years, the kitchen and its gastronomic aspect tend to establish a new field of studies for the human sciences today. Since he The concept of gastronomy is problematic in what it contradicts itself on two aspects: on one hand, he sends back to the good - food and in particular to the certain one patrimonialisation of the national kitchen ; we try to pass on a certain ideology and a symbolism of our regional products by illustrating them in typical dishes. On the other hand, he indicates fragile short-lived realizations which we could assimilate to the contemporary art, contrary to the popular proposal which indicated the UNESCO in 2010, which tried to value the small French producers. In a democratic and interdisciplinary concern, how can we make these two meanings of the term "gastronomy" coincide?
