Peut-on utiliser l'approche foucaldienne pour penser la disciplinarisation de la consommation ?
L'article étudie les discours qui portent, implicitement ou explicitement, sur le goût, des discours qui le dissimulent derrière le beau ou le bon à ceux de la Modernité, définissant le gôut, le jugement de goût et la production de goût.
Western gastronomy is founded on heritages, the heritage of Court cuisine and the popular heritages of local cuisines. How can it manage them according to its contemporary market logic?
A partir d'une étude de la littérature contemporaine relative au patrimoine le texte s'intéresse à la genèse et au contenu des différentes 'inventions' [Choay. F (1999)] du patrimoine. Les différences portent sur la titularité des patrimoines (individuel et/ou collectif) et sur leur statut temporel (un patrimoine faisant abstraction du temps ou, au...
Recently, as different projects aiming to define and reinforce property rights in the fashion industry have been elaborated and discussed, a lot of papers have been dedicated to the question of property rights in this industry. Our paper considers the problems from a specific point of view; it focuses on the relation between property rights and cre...
Modern luxury includes mass-produced goods. On the basis of old innovations, mainly developed by the Champagne industry and French fashion, new luxury groups have overcome the contradiction between the luxury status of goods and industrial mass production. They have invented a new supply model (the luxury tree) centered on the management of heritag...
This article criticizes the reduction of Cultural Heritages to Cultural Capital or Cultural Commons. Whereas economists usually reduce heritages to their capital aspects (standard capital for equipment, human and social capital, natural capital, and cultural capital) or to their commons aspects (stock of resources managed by a community), we consid...
In modern societies, goods include more and more taste characteristics, i.e. characteristics that appeal to senses. Hedonic dimension of attitude is often dominant rather than utilitarian one (Holbrook and Hirschman, 1982; Spangenberg, Voss et Crowley, 1997; Addis et Holbrook, 2001). That implies a growing role of tastes. Then, for firms, matching...
International organizations define and legitimate 'official' heritages. Yet a heritage policy must go beyond the definition and management of a list of elements belonging to a given heritage. Informal, non-official heritages (from handicraft traditions and recipes, to languages) play a growing role in both the working of modern economies and the qu...
From cultural capital to cultural heritages
This article studies how economics takes into account the time dimension of cultural resources and products in the context of the economy of knowledge, where culture has an increasing economic importance. While BECKER (1964) conceives culture as a capital, other economists rather take a creativity approac...
This article aims to show the relationship between luxury tourism and gastronomy, the study of which has been gradually abandoned in favour of popular gastronomy and mass tourism. The economic emergence of new countries, the advent of a class of rich households, the search of hedonic utilities and the affirmation of a new right to luxury tend howev...
The Champagne area is not a very dynamic place while Champagne wine industry -and its heritage- is highly profitable. To explain this paradox, we consider the competition for sharing income and land rent within the Champagne industry. It led to unproductive uses of the Champagne profits limiting their spillover benefits and creating lock-in effects...
Over the past few years, the landscape of top-class gastronomy has empirically changed: some celebrity chefs are returning their hard-won awards to instead provide low-cost food while others work tirelessly to gain access to the inner circle of international top-class restaurants. Things are changing, but the direction is unclear. To analyse the si...

The aim of this paper is to focus on the specificities of the creative processes in taste industries: industries that have connected the artistic and industrial dimensions to supply goods and services—demand for which derives not from the logic of needs and necessity, but from the logic of pleasures, tastes, ethic preferences and hedonism. These ta...
To understand the diversity of gastronomy - local development relation, the article proposes a framework which connects trends of gastronomic development, model of gastronomy and gastronomic heritage. We, then, use this framework to study the French gastronomic heritage and the relation between heritage and local development. Finally we specify the...
This compelling book offers a fresh and novel approach to study cultural and artistic expression from the perspective of ‘the commons’. It demonstrates how identifying cultures as shared resources is useful in eliciting the main factors and social dilemmas affecting the production and evolution of cultural expression.
Adopting the unifying perspec...

Le texte s’intéresse au changement de régime de concurrence qui se manifeste en France au tournant des années 80. Si le durcissement des formes de concurrence s’explique in fine par les changements intervenus dans les formes d’accumulation il passe par des modifications dans les comportements micro-économiques des acteurs. Ceux-ci sont étudiés au m...
This paper studies the case of cultural and creative goods that onstitute both private and common heritage assets and analyses the difficulties involved in protecting them by the means of IPRs. The specificities of non-cumulative and non-degenerative creative heritage assets prevent any universal model of protection and thus the building of a marke...
There are today crisis and mutations in wine markets and the old segmentation between aristocratic markets and popular markets is questioned. This paper addresses the economic logic of this segmentation. Using an evolutionary games approach we build an evolutionary model of the strategic determination of quality. Diverse configurations and differen...
This paper addresses a specific institution, the protected designation of origin (PDO) in wine markets. To understand the present strategic choices in the context of the globalization of wine markets, the paper seeks to explain the economic logic of this specific institution, its genesis and its evolution. Using an evolutionary games approach, we b...
The paper is devoted to luxury industries. They produce goods and demands on the basis of creativity and heritages. The management of their heritages is the key point of their strategic management.
This recognition of democracy as a universally relevant system, which moves in the direction of its acceptance as a universal value, is a major revolution in thinking, and one of the main contributions of the twentieth century.

Nombre de problèmes économiques récents, théoriques et empiriques, ont révélé une dimension patrimoniale. Des objets de nature diverse, biens, savoirs faire, institutions, rattachés à des individus ou des groupes, généralement situés dans des espaces déterminés, traversent l'histoire et influencent, plus ou moins fortement, les dynamiques individue...
Links between Culture, Cultural Industries and Creative Industries
The culture of the past, a product of creative processes now transformed into heritage, is today, as we all know, a factor of production not only in cultural industries but also other industries, sometimes far-removed, like the perfume industry, fashion designing or the restaurant b...
Les objets relevant de la notion de patrimoine se trouvent invariablement caractérisés par les économistes sous la catégorie de capital. On se trouve ainsi devant un mode de théorisation qui nie la spécificité patrimoniale chaque fois qu'il s'agit d'étudier sa dimension économique. Il s'agit dès lors de repenser le patrimoine, en refusant le réduct...
Les contributions de cet ouvrage portent sur des domaines aussi divers que ceux de l'Inventaire des monuments, du patrimoine naturel, des patrimoines professionnels, de la Haute Couture et de l'industrie de la mode, du droit de la mer et du patrimoine génétique. Pourtant, à chaque fois, elles se proposent de repérer les éléments communs qui impliqu...
Standard analysis and marxist analysis define present society as a market or a capitalist society. Thenon market elements are exceptions, or means for the working of market regulations. Opposite to them, our point of view consider modern societies as dualistic societies. They articulate different logics and principles. They combine two heterogeneou...

The history of champagne is a very strange one because, initially, champagne wine was not a good wine but only a standard one. By the means of a spectacular historical process of creativity, champagne industry succeeded in transforming champagne wine in a luxury good and in segmenting the old market in two strongly separated compartments. As pointe...

It organizes a particular configuration of patent rights very favourable to Champagne industry. The paper focuses on strategic choices which lead to define a competition strategy, market segmentation by...

Failures of judiciary system are growing. At the same time, Courts become a new important power. The paper explains the paradox by focusing on competition intensification and market order expansion. Judicial system is the new main place to mix market and political norms.
The special nature of the artistic and cultural goods is commonly stressed in inquiries into the art market failure. Though the artistic goods are not quite defined, their special character is used as a rationale for art policies. The paper try to theoretically found them. In the first section we introduce the concept of artistic goods as a class o...
The various neoclassical schools share the idea that the theory of prices does constitute the centre of economic theory; it tends to merge with the theory of the general equilibrium and the distribution of resources. Prices play a part at three distinct levels. At first, they are the indicators the economic agents use in order to formulate their pl...
Marx has proposed a first analysis of the end of capitalism on the base of the general law of capitalist accumulation. This analysis shows a catastrophist view, related to political constraints and easily battled by Schumpeter. Nevertheless Marx goes on analytical elements — non systematically organized — on limits of capitalist mode of production...
[fre] Une théorie du capitalisme contemporain a été récemment produite par un groupe de chercheurs : la théorie de l'accumulation intensive. Cette théorie occupe, tout au moins en France, une place dominante dans le champ de la réflexion marxiste. L'objet de l'article est de montrer que, malgré les mérites qui doivent lui être reconnus, cette théor...
Today wine markets are global markets: competition rules their global area. Nevertheless wines are produced on territories and with varying degrees of relation to them. It is usual to distinguish old terroir models and new cluster models. Models based on terroir and protected designation of origin face models based on cluster organisation, type of...
