Taste is recognized as one of the most evocative senses. The
flavors of food play an important role in identity, memory,
emotion, desire, and aversion, as well as social, religious and
other occasions. Yet despite its fundamental role, taste is often
mysteriously absent from discussions about food. Now in its second
edition, The Taste Culture Reader examines the sensuous dimensions
of eating and drinking and highlights the centrality of taste in
human experience. Combining both classic and contemporary sources
from anthropology, philosophy, sociology, history, science, and
beyond, the book features excerpts from texts by David Hume,
Immanuel Kant, Pierre Bourdieu, Brillat-Savarin, Marcel Proust,
Sidney Mintz, and M.F.K. Fisher as well as original essays by
authors such as David Sutton, Lisa Heldke, David Howes, Constance
Classen, and Amy Trubek. This edition has been revised
substantially throughout to include the latest scholarship on the
senses and features new introductions from the editor as well as 10
new chapters. The perfect introduction to the study of taste, this
is essential reading for students in food studies, anthropology,
sensory studies, philosophy, and culinary arts.
