Reflecting a growing interest in consumption practices, and
particularly relating to food, this cross disciplinary volume
brings together diverse perspectives on our (often taken for
granted) domestic mealtimes. By unpacking the meal as a set of
practices - acquisition, appropriation, appreciation and disposal -
it shows the role of the market in such processes by looking at how
consumers make sense of marketplace discourses, whether this is how
brand discourses influence shopping habits, or how consumers
interact with the various spaces of the market. Revealing food
consumption through both material and symbolic aspects, and the
role that marketplace institutions, discourses and places play in
shaping, perpetuating or transforming them, this holistic approach
reveals how consumer practices of 'the meal', and the attendant
meaning-making processes which surround them, are shaped. This
wide-ranging collection will be of great interest to a wide range
of scholars interested in marketing, consumer behaviour and food
studies, as well as the sociology of both families and food.
This cross-disciplinary volume brings together diverse perspectives
on children's food occasions inside and outside of the home across
different geographical locations. By unpacking mundane food
occasions - from school dinners to domestic meals and from
breakfast to snacks - Feeding Children Inside and Outside the Home
shows the role of food in the everyday lives of children and adults
around them. Investigating food occasions at home, schools and in
nurseries during weekdays and holidays, this book reveals how
children, mothers, fathers, teachers and other adults involved in
feeding children, understand, make sense of and navigate
ideological discourses of parenting, health imperatives and policy
interventions. Revealing the material and symbolic complexity of
feeding children, and the role that parenting and healthy
discourses play in shaping, perpetuating and transforming both
feeding and eating, this volume shows how micro and macro aspects
are at play in mundane and everyday practices of family life and
education. This volume will be of great interested to a wide range
of students and researchers interested in the sociology of family
life, education, food studies and everyday consumption.
