This work explores diverse cultural understandings of food
practices in cities through the senses, drawing on case studies in
the Americas, Asia, Australia, and Europe. The volume includes the
senses within the popular field of urban food studies to explore
new understandings of how people live in cities and how we can
understand cities through food. It reveals how the senses can
provide unique insight into how the city and its dwellers are being
reshaped and understood. Recognising cities as diverse and dynamic
places, the book provides a wide range of case studies from food
production to preparation and mediatisation through to consumption.
These relationships are interrogated through themes of belonging
and homemaking to discuss how food, memory, and materiality connect
and disrupt past, present, and future imaginaries. As cities become
larger, busier, and more crowded, this volume contributes to actual
and potential ways that the senses can generate new understandings
of how people live together in cities. This book will be of great
interest to students and scholars of critical food studies, urban
studies, and socio-cultural anthropology.
