This important book offers a model to analyze the configurations of
reality as manifested in everyday practices of eating and drinking
in relation to the development of human subjectivity. The author
uses concrete examples from daily life related to eating and
drinking habits such as "eating tacos" or "taking a shot of
mezcal", to offer an interface of interaction between body/mind and
material entities connecting all scales of reality. Borrowing
scientific insights from molecular biology and neuroscience,
combined with a touch of decolonial spirit, the author examines
specific 'processes' and/or 'objects' triggered by eating and
drinking events, such as the production of heat as you eat a taco,
or the interchange of knowledge while drinking mezcal. The book
develops an approach to human subjectivity informed by material and
aesthetic encounters beyond the analysis of language,
representation, and social structures and aims to contribute to the
contemporary landscape of efforts decentering our understanding of
both human and non-human affairs. With its multidimensional
exploration of our relationship with food, this is
thought-provoking reading for scholars and students in critical
psychology, philosophy, and the social sciences.
