Mediterranean Diet: The Need for Cross-Disciplinary Perspectives

Abstract

The notion of the Mediterranean diet has progressively evolved over the past half a century, from a healthy (coronary) dietary pattern to a model of sustainable diet [...]

Mediterranean Diet 3.0

“…Od kraja 1960-ih, kada je stvoren koncept mediteranske prehrane, o čemu će biti riječ nešto kasnije, do danas ovaj je prehrambeni obrazac doživio različite transformacije i konceptualizacije. Prošao je put od zdravog modela tradicijske prehrane do modela održive prehrane (Dernini et al 2017;Medina 2021aMedina , 2021b, postavši pritom i nematerijalna kulturna baština. Ovaj će rad, bez kritičkog sagledavanja fenomena nematerijalne kulturne baštine i prijepora koji iz njega proizlaze (primjerice, Kirscheblatt-Gimblett 2006; Hameršak i Pleše 2018; Brulotte i Di Giovine 2014), nastojati ukazati na konceptualne transformacije mediteranske prehrane u njezinoj dinamičnoj povijesti tijekom proteklih sedamdesetak godina.…”

“…From the late 1960s, when the concept of the Mediterranean diet was created, which will be discussed a bit later, to date, this cuisine has experienced various transformations and conceptualizations. It went from a healthy model of a traditional diet to a model of a sustainable diet (Dernini et al 2017;Medina 2021aMedina , 2021b, becoming an intangible cultural heritage along the way. This paper, which does not include a critical look at the phenomenon of intangible cultural heritage and the disputes that arise from it (for example, Kirscheblatt-Gimblett 2006; Hameršak and Pleše 2018; Brulotte and Di Giovine 2014), will try to identify the conceptual transformations of the Mediterranean diet in its dynamic history over the last seventy-or-so years.…”
