El ensayo pretende analizar los procesos que condujeron al reconocimiento por parte de la UNESCO de los patrimonios culturales inmateriales que giran en torno a la mesa, las costumbres alimentarias y las prácticas sociales y productivas relacionadas con la comida. El enfoque teórico abarca desde las reflexiones contenidas en los tres discursos sobre la relación entre los conceptos de raza, historia y cultura pronunciados por Claude Lévi-Strauss en las Naciones Unidas en la posguerra, hasta las reflexiones más recientes de Luigi M. Lombardi Satriani sobre el valor identitario de los alimentos. En el debate se examinan documentos como las Declaraciones de la UNESCO, la Convención para la Salvaguardia del Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de 2003, el Convenio de Faro de 2005, así como las candidaturas e inscripciones de bienes relacionados con culturas y prácticas alimentarias en la Lista Representativa del Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la Humanidad: borscht, baguette, harissa, cocina italiana, etc. El análisis muestra cómo los patrimonios alimentarios son motivo de orgullo para las comunidades y han sido durante mucho tiempo objeto de prejuicios por parte de las instituciones, tanto nacionales como internacionales. Pero desde los reconocimientos pioneros de la "Dieta Mediterránea", la "Comida Gastronómica de los Franceses" y la "Cocina Tradicional Mexicana", en 2010, la conciencia colectiva e institucional ha cambiado hasta el punto de que la promoción de estos patrimonios inmateriales está creciendo exponencialmente. El ensayo pretende, por tanto, ofrecer al debate antropológico una reflexión históricocrítica y una genealogía interpretativa de este fenómeno.

È un fatto noto e consolidato, nelle organizzazioni federaliste e al di fuori di queste, il contributo fondamentale di Altiero Spinelli al processo di unificazione europea. Norberto Bobbio ha messo bene in luce il significato della svolta che ha avuto luogo con la stesura del Manifesto di Ventotene3. Con quest'ultimo, l'obiettivo della federazione europea non era più materia esclusiva di pensatori illuminati, ma diventava oggetto di una lotta politica. Il palazzo del Parlamento europeo dedicato ad Altiero Spinelli è il più evidente riconoscimento alla sua figura da parte delle istituzioni europee.

To conclude this Special Issue 'Re-Fashioning Stories for Celebrity Counterpublics' of the Journal of Applied Journalism & Media Studies (AJMS), I am delighted to share an interview with Samita Nandy, celebrity scholar, filmmaker and director of the Centre for Media and Celebrity Studies (CMCS). Her research focuses on the cultural dimensions of fame, with a specific interest in celebrity activism, storytelling and the performance of authenticity and intimacy in glamorous narratives. In addition to her academic work, Nandy is also a certified broadcast journalist from Canada and media critic. I had the opportunity to assist her and Kiera Obbard with the organization of the 8th CMCS Conference, which inspired this Special Issue. This interview is thus an opportunity to further expand our reflection on the political possibilities of storytelling and celebrity counterpublics. Our discussion builds on the themes and arguments developed throughout this issue to further explore what popular storytelling means in practice. She reflects on her engagement with celebrity culture and life-writing in her feminist research and artistic endeavours, and how it has empowered her to tell personal and collective stories. The interview format and its themes provide a unique opportunity to contemplate the affordances of a reflective practice paradigm and the artistic applications of disciplinary knowledge, one which bridges academic work with media professions, and which we hope will resonate with AJMS readers.

Today, nobody would consider George L. Mosse as a historian of Christianity. He is well known primarily for his works on the history of fascism, nationalism and racism. However, not only in the first phase of his career, as a scholar of early modern Europe, he was precisely a historian of Christianity, but his contribution to the understanding of Christian experiences and movements in the last centuries, albeit little known, has continued to be extremely relevant. So this article a reflection about Mosse's approach to religion, and especially to Christianity, analyses the main results of his researches on the subject and their development and proposes a final appraisal of his legacy in this field of research.
