Description
Summary:Cooking Made the Man, the work of Cordón Bonet, proposes a relationship between the act of cooking and the advent of language. The word thus provides man with the capacity to organise more complex actions, for him and for others, which can now be classified as symbolic. This conquest inphylogenesis could constitute a model to intervene in ontogenesis, conceived as a clinical strategy based on the power of the culinary act. The cinemaoffers an important number of these fictional scenarios in which the change of subjective position is mediated by the symbolic value of food and thegesture of cooking. Taking as reference some classics of universal filmography, this relationship between cinema, clinic and gastronomy is shown,providing a psychoanalytic theoretical framework to think about such articulation. It seeks to open a little explored area of professional practice. Theapproach entails an ethical standpoint since it draws on narrative, myths and folklore in the treatment of these complex issues.
