Oiseau exotique et esprit de terroir dans le Grand Sud-Ouest de la France. », Analíticos, 2, 2020, p. 41-65. Authors/Creators Duhart, Frédéric Description The Ostrich in the Land of Confit. Exotic Bird and Terroir Mentality in the Great Southwest of France This paper is a study of contemporary ostrich sector in France, especially focused on the Great Southwest: Nouvelle Aquitaine and a large part of Occitanie. It is an historical analysis of the construction and the evolution of this branch of French agriculture that was born in the mid-1980s when Domestic Ostrich hatching eggs were imported from South Africa to obtain a first generation of breeding birds. Pioneers’ intention was to produce ostrich meat as soon as possible. But central administration waited to November 1992 to allow the sale of ostrich meat and to April 1993 to authorize the slaughter of ostriches on the national territory. Following this late decision, ostrich breeding grew significantly within a few years. Domestic ostrich seemed to be a bird with a promising future. Everything changed in the 2000s: French ostrich sector clearly ran out of steam. Representations of the domestic ostrich and its products play key roles in this dynamic. Therefore, this paper is also an anthropological reading of exemplary topics include the legal status of Struthio camelus var. domesticus in France, the consumer attitudes towards ostrich meat, liver and eggs, the evolution of ostrich cooking or the importance placed on origins in the ostrich products market. Beyond the specific case of domestic ostrich in France, this paper tries to remind the usefulness of basic research in the resolution of producers/consumers practical problems.
