Through the sharing of food, people feel entitled to inquire into
one another's lives and ponder one another's states in relation to
their foodways. This in-depth study focuses on the Bosmun of
Daiden, a Ramu River people in an under-represented area in the
ethnography of Papua New Guinea, uncovering the conceptual
convergence of local notions of relatedness, foodways, and empathy.
In weaving together discussions about paramount values as passed on
through myth, the expression of feelings in daily life, and the
bodily experience of social and physical environs, a life-world
unfolds in which moral, emotional, and embodied foodways contribute
notably to the creation of relationships. Concerned with unique
processes of "making kin," the book adds a distinct case to recent
debates about relatedness and empathy and sheds new light onto the
conventional anthropological themes of food production, sharing,
and exchange.
