Food is more than just nutrition. Its preparation, presentation and
consumption is a multifold communicative practice which includes
the meal's design and its whole field of experience. How is food
represented in cookbooks, product packaging or in paintings? How is
dining semantically charged? How is the sensuality of eating
treated in different cultural contexts? In order to acknowledge the
material and media-related aspects of eating as a cultural praxis,
experts from media studies, art history, literary studies,
philosophy, experimental psychology, ethnology, food studies,
cultural studies and design studies share their specific
approaches.
This volume explores the selfie not only as a specific photographic
practice that is deeply rooted in digital culture, but also how it
is understood in relation to other media of self-portrayal. Unlike
the public debate about the dangers of 'selfie-narcissism', this
anthology discusses what the practice of taking and sharing selfies
can tell us about media culture today: can the selfie be critiqued
as an image or rather as a social practice? What are the
technological conditions of this form of vernacular photography? By
gathering articles from the fields of media studies; art history;
cultural studies; visual studies; philosophy; sociology and
ethnography, this book provides a media archaeological perspective
that highlights the relevance of the selfie as a stereotypical as
well as creative practice of dealing with ourselves in relation to
technology.
