Unveiling a Pathogenic Food Consciousness: Gender, Feminism, and the 'Neoliberal Subject' Conclusion. Hold the Femininities: Ordering a Genderless Food Consciousness?. .This volume addresses how the rhetoric of feminist empowerment has been combined with mainstream representations of food, thus creating a cultural consciousness around food and eating that is unmistakably pathological. Throughout, Natalie Jovanovski discusses key texts written by women, for women: best-selling diet books, popular cookbooks produced by female food celebrities, and iconic feminist self-help texts. This is the first book to engage in a feminist analysis of body-policing food trends that focus specifically on the use of feminist rhetoric as a harmful aspect of food culture. There is a smorgasbord of seemingly diverse gender roles for women to choose from, but many encourage breaking gender norms and embracing a love of food while perpetuating old narratives of guilt and restraint. Digesting Femininities problematizes the gendering of food and eating and challenges the reader to imagine what a genderless and emancipatory food culture would look like.SociologyHuman body—Social aspectsFeminist theoryCultureCultural studiesGender Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35000Sociology of the Bodyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22230Feminismhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E44030Sociology of Culturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22100Cultural Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22040Sociology.Human body—Social aspects.Feminist theory.Culture.Cultural studies.Gender Studies.Sociology of the Body.Feminism.Sociology of Culture.Cultural Studies.664.06021873Jovanovski Natalieauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1064881BOOK9910252696703321Digesting Femininities2541345UNINA
