From 'Kill-Devill' to Navy Ration: The Social Life of Rum in England, 1650-1750

朗姆酒最初与西印度群岛的奴隶、仆人和水手联系在一起，在漫长的18世纪后，朗姆酒变成了一种充满国家和帝国内涵的产品。本文将以伦敦和布里斯托尔为例，论证英国海员在这一过程中起到的关键作用。他们对英格兰海岸以外的世界的接触促进了平民社区之间一定程度的跨文化交流，这最终促进了不同社会和经济群体消费习惯的转变，将国家认同的概念与粗犷的男子气概结合在一起，创造了一种独特的“英国大西洋”产品。主要主题：饮酒/酗酒历史性别空间英国大西洋历史社会和文化史

Initially associated with slaves, servants, and sailors in the West Indies, rum was transformed into a product imbued with national and imperial connotations over the 'long eighteenth century.' Focussing on London and Bristol, this thesis will demonstrate that English seamen were key to such a process. Their exposure to a world beyond English shores facilitated a level of cross-cultural exchange amongst plebeian communities, which ultimately catalysed a shift in consumption habits across differing social and economic groups, combining notions of national identity with rugged masculinity to create a uniquely 'British Atlantic' product.Key Themes:History of Drinking/IntoxicantsGenderSpaceBritish Atlantic HistorySocial and Cultural History
