Edible Ideologies argues that representations of food--in
literature and popular fiction, cookbooks and travel guides, war
propaganda, women's magazines, television and print
advertisements--are not just about nourishment or pleasure.
Contributors explore how these various modes of representation,
reflecting prevailing attitudes and assumptions about food and food
practices, function instead to circulate and transgress dominant
cultural ideologies. Addressing questions concerning whose
interests are served by a particular food practice or habit and
what political ends are fulfilled by the historical changes that
lead from one practice to another in Western culture, the essays
offer a rich historical narrative that moves from the construction
of the nineteenth-century English gentleman to the creation of two
of today's iconic figures in food culture, Julia Child and Martha
Stewart.
