Food and Everyday Life provides a qualitative, interpretive, and
interdisciplinary examination of food and food practices and their
meanings in the modern world. Edited by Thomas M. Conroy, the book
offers a number of complementary approaches and topics around the
parameters of the "ordinary, everyday" perspective on food. These
studies highlight aspects of food production, distribution, and
consumption, as well as the discourse on food. Chapters discuss
examples ranging from the cultural meanings of food as represented
on television, to the practices of food budgeting, to the cultural
politics of such practices as sustainable brewing and developing
new forms of urban agriculture. A number of the studies focus on
the relationships between food, eating practices, and the body.
Each chapter examines a particular (and in many instances, highly
unique) food practice, and each includes some key details of that
practice. Taken together, the chapters show us how the everyday
practices of food are both familiar and, yet at the same time, ripe
for further discovery.
