Community of Taste. On the Social Dimension of Gustatory Experiences

Summary/Abstract: The author embarks upon reflections dealing with the intersubjective dimension of the sense of taste and considers education as well as the globalisation and migration of taste or sensual memory. Taste is not exclusively experienced in the body but also shared with the world. The author stresses that with this meaning in mind we should speak about two processes: the externalisation of taste by culture and the internalisation of cultural taste preferences. Both this particular sense and tasting thus appear as culturally mediated and always take place in a given geographical, political, and historical context.
