De l'alimentation à la nutrition : comment bien manger à Shanghai dans les années 1930 au travers du magazine Ling Long(玲珑杂志）

Based on an analysis of the discourse about food contained in the Ling Long magazine (玲珑杂志 1931-1937), this dissertation focuses specifically on the transformations of the Chinese food habits that occurred in Shanghai in the 1930s by contact with nutritional knowledge from the West and under the impetus of Chinese elites who were looking for solutions to strengthen the nation. We show how Ling Long magazine participated in this phenomenon, not only by introducing its readership to the principles and concepts underlying scientific nutrition, but especially by adapting these new food standards and practices to both the local Chinese context and the concerns of its female readers.
