This text provides an overview of the sociology of change and
transition, exploring how global transformation processes impact on
everyday life by examining a number of 'hot spots' of change in
contemporary society: the city, the workplace, patterns of
consumption, politics, broader areas and the environment. It
engages with a range of theories and concepts, in order to
investigate the interplay of continuity and change in contemporary
society, and assesses their usefulness. It also speculates on the
shape of emerging social orders.
This innovative volume explores the link between local and regional
eating cultures and their mediatization via transnational TV
cooking shows, glocal food advertising and social media transfer of
recipes. Pursuing a global and interdisciplinary approach, it
brings together research conducted in Latin America, Australia,
Africa, Asia and Europe, from leading scholars in sociology and
political science, media and cultural studies, as well as
anthropology. Drawing on this rich case study material facilitates
a revealing and engaging analysis of the connection between the
meta-concepts of globalization and mediatization. Across fifteen
chapters its authors provide fresh insights into the different
impact that food and eating cultures can have on the everyday
mediation of ethnicity and class as well as local, regional and
transnational modes of belonging in a media rich global
environment. This exciting addition to the food studies literature
will appeal in particular to students and scholars of sociology,
anthropology, media and cultural studies.
Rejecting simplifying notions of globalisation as a macro-economic
force, this book provides a grounded picture of the various ways in
which people's biographies are tied up with the global cultural
economy. The main argument of the book is that the globalisation of
lives is experienced by people as the 'extension' of their
'milieux' both spatially and symbolically.
