In the 21st century, an accelerated pace of global movements of
people, goods, capital, technology and ideas has led to ambivalence
regarding cultural identity for individuals, as well as collectives
like neighbourhoods and cities. While the preparation, availability
and consumption of diverse foods have become symbolic of the very
openness of a place, there are concerns that this is only
reflective of a superficial and consumerist form of middle class
cosmopolitanism. Using food-oriented case studies centred on
Australian cities and media, Bonding Over Food argues for a
processual understanding of cosmopolitanism. Such an approach helps
us understand various kinds of social bonds formed over food as
'convivial' practices that are potentially ethical and/or reflexive
as opposed to being driven by 'othering' discourses.
