The cooking process, from the production to the consumption of food, is approached from the angle of the senses and emotions. On one hand, the process involves removing odor and then adding odor to meat. These "deodorizing" and "reodorizing" techniques, symbols of hygiene and the degree to which one is "civilized", are crucial to relations between Blacks and Chachi. Adopting these techniques is part of individual economic and/or migratory strategies. Ignoring these techniques leads to social discrimination and to the reinforcement of social boundaries between the groups. On the other hand, analyzing the link between cooking and feelings reveals an obsession among the Blacks to remain Christian. In other words, they must maintain reciprocal relations with the Saints, the Virgin Mary, and God. They must also avoid "temptation" and the risk of changing into "enemies". It is by controlling their emotions, especially while cooking, that the Blacks reach their objective. Thus, cooking will be analyzed under three aspects: the food system of the Blacks which brings out the importance of odors; the adoption or not of deodorizing marinades and the consequences for Black-Chachi relations; and the mastery of emotions while cooking every day and for certain Catholic feast days. Finally, this work reveals the social and cultural, selective and dynamic interpenetration of the Black and Indian populations.Armelle LorcyCentre de Recherches sur les Mondes AméricainsarticleBlacksChachi IndianscookingEcuadoremotionsodorAnthropologyGN1-890Latin America.
