This collection explores the arguments related to veg(etari)anism
as they play out in the public sphere and across media, historical
eras, and geographical areas. As vegan and vegetarian practices
have gradually become part of mainstream culture, stemming from
multiple shifts in the socio-political, cultural, and economic
landscape, discursive attempts to both legitimize and delegitimize
them have amplified. With 12 original chapters, this collection
analyses a diverse array of these legitimating strategies,
addressing the practice of veg(etari)anism through analytical
methods used in rhetorical criticism and adjacent fields. Part I
focuses on specific geo-cultural contexts, from early 20th century
Italy, Serbia and Israel, to Islam and foundational Yoga Sutras. In
Part II, the authors explore embodied experiences and legitimation
strategies, in particular the political identities and ontological
consequences coming from consumption of, or abstention from, meat.
Part III looks at the motives, purposes and implication of
veg(etari)anism as a transformative practice, from ego to eco, that
should revolutionise our value hierarchies, and by extension, our
futures. Offering a unique focus on the arguments at the core of
the veg(etari)an debate, this collection provides an invaluable
resource to scholars across a multitude of disciplines.
