Food habits, preferences, and taboos are partially regulated by ecological and material factors - in other words, all food systems are structured and given particular functioning mechanisms by specific societies and cultures, either according to totemic, sacrificial, hygienic-rationalist, aesthetic, or other symbolic logics. This provides much ?food for thought?. The famous expression has never been so appropriate: not only do cultures develop unique practices for the production, treatment and consumption of food, but such practices inevitably end up affecting food-related aspects and spheres that are generally perceived as objectively and materially defined. This book explores such dynamics drawing on various theoretical approaches and analytical methodologies, thus enhancing the cultural reflection on food and, at the same time, helping us see how the study of food itself can help us understand better what we call ?culture?. It will be of interest to anthropologists, philosophers, semioticians and historians of food. 410 0$aNumanities - Arts and Humanities in Progress,$x2510-4438 ;$v19 606 $aSocial sciences$xPhilosophy 606 $aSociology 606 $aNutrition 606 $aFood 606 $aFood science 606 $aSocial Philosophy 606 $aSociology of Food and Nutrition 606 $aFood Studies 615 0$aSocial sciences$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aSociology. 615 0$aNutrition. 615 0$aFood. 615 0$aFood science. 615 14$aSocial Philosophy. 615 24$aSociology of Food and Nutrition. 615 24$aFood Studies. 676 $a394.12 702 $aStano$b Simona 702 $aBentley$b Amy 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910522994403321 996 $aFood for thought$92881985 997 $aUNINA
