Sommario/riassunto |
|
This exciting book explores fundamental questions about the operation of power and agency in modern societies. Grounded in the work of Bruno Latour, Pierre Bourdieu and Michel Foucault, it uses food as a lens to examine agency and the political, economic, social and cultural power which underlies every choice of food and every act of eating. |
