Yucatecan gastronomy emerged during the second half of the twentieth century as an outcome of long historical local-global and translocal processes. A strong cultural opposition to Mexican national cuisine supports this culturally specific gastronomy, and the ingredients, recipes and culinary techniques used in Yucatán connect it to other Caribbean culinary forms. This paper argues that the emergence of a distinguishable Yucatecan gastronomy is dependent on the cosmopolitan disposition of local people who were willing to appropriate and adapt the culinary contributions of immigrants from Europe, the Middle East, North America, and from countries in the Caribbean region. This situation stimulated lateral, minor, translocal connections that contributed to produce Yucatecan food as a culinary hybrid that merged local, translocal and global practices and ingredients. I argue that contemporary global-local integrations reshape the part and importance of Yucatecan cuisine at the regional, national and international market of cultural foods.

Archaos ou le jardin étincelant by Cristiane Rochefort, is a post-May 68 utopia. The learning process prescribed in this novel parodies/mocks traditional coming-of-age novels: rules are not enacted by an exogenous mentor. Classical intellectual guides are ridiculed. The process of initiation is turned inward, toward the self, and is accomplished by way of sex education, the ultimate condition for access to power. Resolutely feminist, this novel reconsiders the world led by women. Archaos is the story of a Dionysian journey under the guise of a political utopia which calls for symbolic death and for an esoteric renaissance under the auspices of the goddess Isthar.

In this paper, which is concerned with the rules that might govern foreign investment in the future free trade area between MERCOSUR and the Andean Community, the author begins by describing the developments leading up to the framework agreement for the creation of the new free trade area. The study of these developments is important in establishing the potential repercussions that the signature of such an agreement could have for Canada and the other Latin American countries involved with these two groups in the process of creating the Free Trade Area of the Americas.In the second part of the paper, the author identifies the specific characteristics of the foreign investment protection and promotion systems currently existing in MERCOSUR and the Andean Community. An understanding of these rules is important, since it suggests that the Colonia Protocol appears to be the model that the MERCOSUR and Andean Community member countries will prefer when establishing the rules and principles governing foreign investment in the new free trade area. If the Colonia Protocol rules are used, their clarity and transparency will help increase foreign investment in the new free trade area, and will also favour ongoing efforts to promote free trade and foreign investment at the regional and hemispherical levels.

In the last decades of the 19th century, the colonization of the African continent coincided with the popularity of ethnographical spectacles in Europe. On tour in European zoos, cabarets, fairs, as well as in colonial and universal expositions, these representations displayed indigenous groups of individuals from recently or soon-to-be colonized regions. While France, Great Britain and Germany competed overseas to affirm their colonial power, these countries welcomed the same spectacles in their respective capital cities and provincial towns. Drawing on examples borrowed from France, England, Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, this study examines the ways these spectacles were represented in European literatures and visual arts. Although these spectacles “displayed” a wide variety of peoples, not only groups from Africa, this article focuses exclusively on works which depict peoples from this continent. In treating the works in question as “cultural signals”, to use Jean Devisse’s expression, it aims to identify the types of visual or literary consumption that these artistic productions elicit. The article adopts an essentially rhetorical perspective in order to attempt to determine the types of identification which the reader /consumer is encouraged to assume. These may be a naïve, imperialist consumption of the “savage” animal, a form of civilizing compassion that can change to suspicion during war times, or an erotic complicity that can go as far as sketching out a challenge to ethnocentrism.
