Folklore has long explored food as a core component of life, linked
to identity, aesthetics, and community and connecting individuals
to larger contexts of history, culture and power. It recognizes
that we gather together to eat, define class, gender, and race by
food production, preparation, and consumption, celebrate holidays
and religious beliefs with food, attach meaning to the most mundane
of foods, and evoke memories and emotions through our food
selections and presentations. "The Food and Folklore Reader "is the
first comprehensive introduction to folklore methods and concepts
relevant to food, spanning the entire discipline with key sources
drawn from around the globe. Whilst folklore approaches have long
permeated food studies, this is the first dedicated reader to
introduce those ideas and to encourage students of food to explore
them in their own work.Internationally respected editor Lucy M.
Long offers expert commentary and rich learning features to aid
teaching. Definitive in scale and scope, the reader covers the
history of food in folklore scholarship whilst also highlighting
food studies approaches and concepts for folklore readers.From
seminal works on identity and aesthetics to innovative scholarship
on contemporary food issues such as culinary tourism and food
security, this will be an essential resource for food studies,
folklore studies and anthropology.
