Dr. EMMA SPARY,<\/strong>(Wellcome Trust Centre for the History of Medicine at UCL)<\/p>\n Eating Expertise: The appearance of a category of health foods among the commodities available in the shops of Paris in the final decades of the old regime has passed unnoticed by historians and it is generally held to be the case that health foods were an invention of the late nineteenth century onwards. The paper centres upon documentation deriving from the endorsement or rejection of alimentary products by the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Royale de M\u00e9decine, given the right to inspect all such goods in 1778. Through the debates over the health foods investigated by the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 and other scientific or medical institutions, we can show how knowledge-claims about health were materialised\u2014in the most literal way\u2014by being ingested. At the same time, we can explore the ways in which epistemological and alimentary authority were negotiated between producers, consumers and the scientific and medical elite in the late eighteenth-century city.<\/p>\n Dr. EMMA SPARY <\/strong>received her Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge in 1993. She has worked on the history of natural history and agriculture, resulting in a monograph, Utopia\u2019s Garden: French Natural History from Old Regime to Revolution (Chicago, 2000). She has also jointly edited two volumes of essays on this subject, Cultures of Natural History (Cambridge, 1996) and Sammeln als Wissen (G\u00f6ttingen, 2001). Her current research activities include a book on the history of scientific and medical accounts of eating in Paris between 1675 and 1815, provisionally entitled Eating the Enlightenment; and a volume of essays, Between Market and Laboratory: Materials and Expertise in Early Modern Europe, co-edited with Ursula Klein. She is employed at the Wellcome Trust Centre for the History of Medicine at UCL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wir m\u00f6chten Sie zu einem interessanten „Vortrag im Josephinum“ einladen: \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ort: Lesesaal des „Josephinum“, W\u00e4hringer Strasse 25, A – 1090 Wien \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Zeit: 13.
