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.$bGrounded in the work of Roland Barthes, Bruno Latour, Pierre Bourdieu, and Michel Foucault, this exciting book 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. The book is divided into three parts - National Characters; Anthropological Situations; Health - with each of the eight chapters exploring the power of food as well as the power relationships reflected and refracted through food. Featuring contributions from historians, sociologists, anthropologists, and cultural studies scholars from around the world, the book offers case studies of a diverse range -from German cuisine and ethnicity in San Francisco after the Gold Rush, through Italian cuisine in Japan, to `ultragreasy bureks' and teenage fast food consumption in Slovenia. By directly engaging with questions of agency and power, the book pushes the field of food studies in new directions. An important read for students and researchers in food studies, food history, anthropology of food, and sociology of food. 606 $aFood 606 $aNutrition 606 $aFood consumption 606 $aFood$xSocial aspects 606 $aFood & society$2bicssc 615 0$aFood. 615 0$aNutrition. 615 0$aFood consumption. 615 0$aFood$xSocial aspects. 615 7$aFood & society 676 $a641.3 702 $aMartschukat$b Jurgen 702 $aSimon$b Bryant 801 0$bLOA 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792606903321 996 $aFood, power, and agency$93770184 997 $aUNINA
