This volume brings together contributions that provide a snapshot
of current food research. What is Food? acknowledges the many
dimensions of food, including its social, cultural, symbolic and
sensual qualities, while also being material in that it is
fundamental to our survival. The collection addresses contemporary
challenges and reflects the concerns of funders and researchers
working in the broad field of the sociology of food: dietary
health, sustainability, food safety and food poverty. Reflecting
broader academic trends, the chapters are moreover concerned with
interdisciplinarity, the analysis of change, data reuse and the use
of social media as data. The book includes empirical evidence from
around the UK, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland and Taiwan and
addresses food both as a lens through which to examine these wider
social relationships, processes and social change and as a primary
subject. The contributions will be of interest to a wide range of
students and researchers looking for a cutting-edge insight into
how to frame and study food in areas related to the sociology of
food, health, risk, poverty, sustainability and research methods.
