Appropriating Bimby on the Internet: Perspectives on technology mediated meals by a virtual brand community

It was Christmas day when an intriguing news piece about a kitchen technology was published in the Wall Street Journal in 2013 (Kowsmann, 2013). Immediately after, the piece went viral in the Portuguese (social) media (TV, blogs, press). It reported an odd 'obsession' of Portuguese consumers with a pricey German-made kitchen appliance - the Bimby (Figure 7.1) - during a difficult period of 'painful budget slashing in return for an international bailout'. The news piece served to unveil the irony: how come ''Western Europe's poorest country' could afford such an expensive technology 'that outsells high-end iPads [...] and is more popular on Facebook than the country's best-known rock band?' The journalistic piece advanced explanations for this technology craze: 'But the Portuguese love gadgets and seem determined, despite hard times, to maintain their tradition of regularly getting together for dinner. In this explanatory attempt, Bimby is portrayed as an intermediary that opens up the possibility for thinking about meal practices in a particular way, in this case, linking nation and meals through ideas around commensality.

A cerâmica de cozinha africana de Monte Molião: Monte Molião, Lagos

Monte Molião fica situado na margem esquerda do estuário da Ribeira de Bensafrim, em Lagos. Teve uma ocupação pré-romana, tendo sido densamente povoado durante toda a época romana. Neste trabalho, analisam-se os fragmentos de cerâmica de cozinha africana recolhidos no sítio, em escavações arqueológicas. O conjunto engloba 2005 fragmentos classificaveis, no entanto, apenas 1767 foram passíveis de tipificação (de acordo com as propostas de Tortorella, Hayes e M. Bonifay), tendo sido analisados também de acordo com a sua posição estratigráfica, o que permitiu retirar informação sobre a sua cronologia absoluta e integração nas diferentes fases de ocupação romana do sítio. Todos foram também abordados do ponto de vista do fabrico, concretamente no que se refere à cor e à estrutura física da pasta, numa tentativa de aproximação aos centros produtores. 161 exemplares, considerados representativos do conjunto, foram desenhados e tintados. O circuito da cerâmica de cozinha africana no sul de Portugal foi proposto com base nos dados do sítio de Lagos, mas também com outros provenientes de distintos locais algarvios, tendo-se concluído que aqueles em que esta cerâmica se tinha registado eram litorais ou facilmente acessíveis por rio.
