Food is everywhere in contemporary mediascapes, as witnessed by the
increase in cookbooks, food magazines, television cookery shows,
online blogs, recipes, news items and social media posts about
food. This mediatization of food means that the media often
interplays between food consumption and everyday practices, between
private and political matters and between individuals, groups, and
societies. This volume argues that contemporary food studies need
to pay more attention to the significance of media in relation to
how we 'do' food. Understanding food media is particularly central
to the diverse contemporary social and cultural practices of food
where media use plays an increasingly important but also
differentiated and differentiating role in both large-scale
decisions and most people's everyday practices. The contributions
in this book offer critical studies of food media discourses and of
media users' interpretations, negotiations and uses that construct
places and spaces as well as possible identities and everyday
practices of sameness or otherness that might form new, or renew
old food politics.
