Yet for human animals, they are intrinsically ambivalent, proliferating with ideological, historical and psychological leftovers. This study reveals and mobilizes the provisional meanings, repressed experiences and unacknowledged tensions bound up with representations of food, drink and their consumption. It creates a flexible critical framework by bringing together an unexploited convergence of post-war French thinkers who use - or whose thought is legible through - figures of eating and drinking, including Barthes, Bataille, Beauvoir, Bourdieu, Certeau, Cixous, Derrida, Fischler, Giard, Kristeva, Lacan, Lefebvre, LeÌvi-Strauss, Mayol and Sartre. New combinations emerge for elucidating the intersecting effects of incorporation; constructs of class, gender and racial difference; bad faith; distinction; secondary ideological signifying systems; provisional meanings bound up with linguistic traces; economies of excess; everyday 'making-do'; the ethics of consuming the other; the return of the repressed; lack; abjection; and notions of 'eating on the sly', 'mother's milk', the 'omnivore's paradox' and 'gastro-anomie'. The vast possibilities for re-thinking with eating and drinking are further exemplified in case studies of novels in which - often beyond authorial intentions - food and drink are structurally important and interpretatively plural. These are Robbe-Grillet's Les Gommes/The Erasers (1953); Ernaux's Les Armoires vides/Cleaned Out (1974); Darrieussecq's Truismes/Pig Tales (1996); and Houellebecq's La Carte et le territoire/The Map and the Territory (2010). New understandings of post-war French cultural production are revealed in these case studies. But above all, the analyses demonstrate the potential for literary, comparative, cultural, film, gender and food studies of re-thinking with eating and drinking across genres, periods and places."--Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 201-216) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction : tapping the critical potential of representations of eating and drinking -- (Re-)Thinking with eating and drinking -- Re-thinking the story : food, drink and interpretation in Alan Robbe-Grillet's Les Gommes/The erasers -- Feeding and reading ambivalence : incorporating difference in Annie Ernaux's Les Armoires vides/Cleaned out -- Food questioning values in Marie Darrieussecq's Truismes/Pig tales -- Weighing up the potential of literary consumption : feeding on scraps in Michel Houellebeca's La Carte et le territoire/The map and the territory -- Conclusion : taking on leftovers. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a French fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Food in literature. 650 0 $a Food habits in literature. 650 7 $a Food habits in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00930823 650 7 $a Food in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00930837 650 7 $a French fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00934302 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01986215 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 830 0 $a Contemporary French and francophone cultures ; $v 67. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317021348.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A23EF958FFE911EBB6EAFDEE22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
