What and how we eat are two of the most persistent choices we face
in everyday life. Whatever we decide on though, and however mundane
our decisions may seem, they will be inscribed with information
both about ourselves and about our positions in the world around
us. Yet, food has only recently become a significant and coherent
area of inquiry for cultural studies and the social sciences.
Food and Cultural Studies re-examines the interdisciplinary history
of food studies from a cultural studies framework, from the
semiotics of Barthes and the anthropology of Levi-Strauss to Elias'
historical analysis and Bourdieu's work on the relationship between
food, consumption and cultural identity. The authors then go on to
explore subjects as diverse as food and nation, the gendering of
eating in, the phenomenon of TV chefs, the ethics of vegetarianism
and food, risk and moral panics.
