Bringing on stage cultural values, food becomes a central identity marker, defining personality, social class, lifestyles, gender roles and relationships, from family, to community, to ethnic groups or nationality, changing through time and place. Food is a lens to analyze society order, historical changes, power and politics, if we think of the pioneering works in this area of studies, from Pierre Bourdieu’s analysis of the social classes’ taste (1979), Jack Goody’s connection between cuisine and class in West Africa (1982), Sidney Mintz research on sugar, modern times and colonialism (1985), to Arjun Appadurai’s work on nationalism and cuisines (1988). The more recent trend towards food heritage and heritagisation reveals the dynamic role of history in understanding culture, as well as the marketization of culinary traditions. Social changes, like evolutions in intergroup relations within societies, migration phenomena such as nomadism, refugees, expatriates, tourism, alongside with the industrialization of food production or the globalization of foods, the role of mass media and new technologies, all have their impact on the food production, distribution, preparation, foodways or drinkways changing either by expressing individual or group preferences for alternative consumption manners, or at collective level.

The first approach is to define the role that the two open-air museums played historically, as well as the changes they undergo in recent years. In the context of globalization, culture is redefined in its relationship to economic growth and tourism contribution and the need for museums whose marketing turns the attention towards the visitor. Museums undergo a democratisation process, in the sense that collections became accessible and made interesting for the general public. Although in recent years in Romania it is considered that there is a lack of funding and legislation regarding cultural patrimony, the Village Museum in Bucharest is adapting to the latest evolutions in the patrimonial and cultural sector, remaining one of the most important cultural institutions in Romania. The Korean Folk Village was put in connection with the revival of the Korean economy, a policy aiming to preserve Korean culture by supporting the country’s cultural heritage in the process of building a modern nation-state (Lee, 2011). While the South Korean Folk Village is oriented towards tourism attraction, re-enactment of the past and entertainment, the National Village Museum ‘Dimitrie Gusti’ in Bucharest is rather oriented towards its pedagogical role, its dialogue with the public translating in event organisation.

Studiul de consum cultural la nivelul orașului București este un sondaj de opinie realizat în perioada iulie-august 2015, pe un eșantion de 1068 de persoane cu vârsta peste 14 ani, cu o eroare de maximă de +/- 3%. la un nivel de încredere de 95%.
Studiul a urmărit să ofere o imagine a preferinţelor publicului privind tipurile de evenimente şi domeniile culturale, privind locurile/spaţiile, privind facilităţile de acces la evenimentele culturale şi canalele de informare utilizate preponderent cu scopul participării culturale.
De asemenea, am vizat identificarea unei tipologii a profilurilor de public în funcţie de preferinţele culturale şi caracteristicile socio-demografice, oferirea unei imagini a notorietății evenimentelor culturale organizate în București din punct de vedere al percepţiei publicului. Studiul poate fi considerat o diagnoză a aşteptărilor publicului în ceea ce priveşte oferta culturală locală și oferă soluții de atragere de public nou la evenimentele culturale locale.
În cazul locuitorilor din București avem un consum în spațiul public de tip omnivor, ce include bricolarea mai multor tipuri de oferte din diverse domenii culturale.
Pe dimensiunea de calitate a vieții urbane, printre aspectele de care bucureștenii se declară nemulțumiți cele mai prezente cu mențiunile referitoare la infrastructura stradală (condițiile pentru mașini, cât și pentru pietoni sau bicicliști) și la curățenie, cu accent pe calitatea aerului.
La polul opus, al mulțumirilor, se află aspectele ce țin de petrecerea timpului liber, incluzând evenimentele de consum cultural.
Cele mai cunoscute construcții de patrimoniu sunt cele poziționate central, o posibilă explicație fiind gradul mare de familiaritate și vizibilitate.

Le contexte de la Roumanie permet d'appréhender une problématique tout à fait par ticulière, centrée sur la résurgence et la redéfinition des signes de l'imaginaire gastronomique sous les traits de la postmodernité. Cela signifie à la fois une réévaluation des rites sous le régime de la déconstruction des pratiques de table et sous l'influence des régimes d'esthétisation et de restauration symbolique de la table. La recherche por te principalement sur la présence d'un modèle ou d'un éthos gastronomique « à la française » dans la symbolique de la table en Roumanie. La première par tie du livre dresse un état d'ar t des théories et des concepts sur la gastronomie à la confluence du sociologique et du sémiotique en communication. Sur cette base théorique il est question d'aborder le contexte roumain sous l'influence, mais aussi dans une relation dynamique avec le modèle gastronomique de la table française. La recherche prend ensuite en charge l'analyse d'un terrain et d'un corpus, afin d'appréhender, au plus près, les processus de signification mis en jeu par l'imaginaire gastronomique.
Anthropology/ie & Communication. Intersections, Bucharest: University of Bucharest Publishing House ISBN: 978-606-16-0706-8, 2016

À laquelle les éditeurs ont essayé de répondre compte tenu du contenu des articles, mais aussi de leurs auteurs. Auteurs consacrés dans le domaine de l’anthropologie classique ou de l’anthropologie de la communication, comme Odile Riondet, Jean-Claude Maes, Cristina Bogdan ou Pascal Lardellier, mais aussi dans les études communicationnelles en liaison avec l’anthropologie, comme Roxana Marinescu, Pierre Morelli, Emmanuelle Simon ou Brigitte Simonnot. Ainsi, c’est à partir du noyau dur des textes inclus dans cet ouvrage que la définition du titre est devenue un choix plus facile. Le deuxième choix à faire a été : anglais ou français ? Et la réponse a été offerte par la particularité linguistique des mots du titre de s’écrire de manière (presque) similaire dans les deux langues. Etant donné qu’aucun des articles ne peut être défini comme s’inscrivant de manière unique dans le domaine de l’anthropologie ou de la communication, choisir un sous-titre devenait nécessaire. Et quel autre concept qu’« intersections » aurait pu rendre la complexité des approches proposées ? Ces éléments lui ayant été expliqués, le lecteur est invité à ouvrir ce livre et à se réjouir des analyses raffinées qui s’y trouvent. --- Anthropology and communication, or communication and anthropology? This was the question. To which the editors tried to answer, given the content of the articles, but also the authors‘specializations. Consecrated authors in classical anthropology or in anthropology of communication, such as Odile Riondet, Jean-Claude Maes, Cristina Bogdan, Pascal Lardellier, but also in communication studies, such as Roxana Marinescu, Pierre Morelli, Emmanuelle Simon or Brigitte Simonnot. Thus, proceeding from the core content of the articles included in this volume, the decision about the title became an easier choice. The second choice was: in English or in French? And the answer was offered by the linguistic peculiarity of the words in the title: they are pronounced and written in an (almost) similar manner in the two languages. Given that none of the articles can be described as belonging only to the anthropology or communication field of research, choosing a subtitle became a necessary clarification. And which other concept than “intersections” could better render the complexity of the approaches? Having explained these elements, the reader is invited to open the book and enjoy the refined analyses that can be found inside.

1997). Bringing on stage cultural values, food becomes a central identity marker, defining personality, social class, lifestyles, gender roles and relationships, from family, to community, to ethnic groups or nationality, changing through time and place. Food is a lens to analyze society order, historical changes, power and politics, if we think of the pioneering works in this area of studies, from Pierre Bourdieu’s analysis of the social classes’ taste (1979), Jack Goody’s connection between cuisine and class in West Africa (1982), Sidney Mintz research on sugar, modern times and colonialism (1985), to Arjun Appadurai’s work on nationalism and cuisines (1988).
The more recent trend towards food heritage and heritagisation reveals the dynamic role of history in understanding culture, as well as the marketization of culinary traditions. Social changes, like evolutions in intergroup relations within societies, migration phenomena such as nomadism, refugees, expatriates, tourism, alongside with the industrialization of food production or the globalization of foods, the role of mass media and new technologies, all have their impact on the food production, distribution, preparation, foodways or drinkways changing either by expressing individual or group preferences for alternative consumption manners, or at collective level.

more, reason to Roland Barthes who, in his introduction to Brillat Savarin’s Physiologie du gout, understands food, generally (and gastronomy, particularly) as a domain fit for developing a humanistic approach, seen as total social fact, including different metalanguages. As he explains, ‘It is this encyclopedic view, - this ”humanism” - that encompasses, for Brillat-Savarin, the name of gastronomy” (Barthes, 1975).
Studiul de consum cultural la nivelul orașului București este un sondaj de opinie realizat în perioada iulie-august 2015, pe un eșantion de 1068 de persoane cu vârsta peste 14 ani, cu o eroare de maximă de +/- 3%. la un nivel de încredere de 95%.
Studiul a urmărit să ofere o imagine a preferinţelor publicului privind tipurile de evenimente şi domeniile culturale, privind locurile/spaţiile, privind facilităţile de acces la evenimentele culturale şi canalele de informare utilizate preponderent cu scopul participării culturale.
De asemenea, am vizat identificarea unei tipologii a profilurilor de public în funcţie de preferinţele culturale şi caracteristicile socio-demografice, oferirea unei imagini a notorietății evenimentelor culturale organizate în București din punct de vedere al percepţiei publicului. Studiul poate fi considerat o diagnoză a aşteptărilor publicului în ceea ce priveşte oferta culturală locală și oferă soluții de atragere de public nou la evenimentele culturale locale.
În cazul locuitorilor din București avem un consum în spațiul public de tip omnivor, ce include bricolarea mai multor tipuri de oferte din diverse domenii culturale.
Pe dimensiunea de calitate a vieții urbane, printre aspectele de care bucureștenii se declară nemulțumiți cele mai prezente cu mențiunile referitoare la infrastructura stradală (condițiile pentru mașini, cât și pentru pietoni sau bicicliști) și la curățenie, cu accent pe calitatea aerului.
La polul opus, al mulțumirilor, se află aspectele ce țin de petrecerea timpului liber, incluzând evenimentele de consum cultural.
Cele mai cunoscute construcții de patrimoniu sunt cele poziționate central, o posibilă explicație fiind gradul mare de familiaritate și vizibilitate.

Anthropology and communication, or communication and anthropology? This was the question. To which the editors tried to answer, given the content of the articles, but also the authors‘specializations. Consecrated authors in classical anthropology or in anthropology of communication, such as Odile Riondet, Jean-Claude Maes, Cristina Bogdan, Pascal Lardellier, but also in communication studies, such as Roxana Marinescu, Pierre Morelli, Emmanuelle Simon or Brigitte Simonnot. Thus, proceeding from the core content of the articles included in this volume, the decision about the title became an easier choice. The second choice was: in English or in French? And the answer was offered by the linguistic peculiarity of the words in the title: they are pronounced and written in an (almost) similar manner in the two languages. Given that none of the articles can be described as belonging only to the anthropology or communication field of research, choosing a subtitle became a necessary clarification. And which other concept than “intersections” could better render the complexity of the approaches? Having explained these elements, the reader is invited to open the book and enjoy the refined analyses that can be found inside.
