Food and Media (eBook, PDF)

Practices, Distinctions and Heterotopias
Redaktion: Leer, Jonatan; Povlsen, Karen Klitgaard

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Food is everywhere in contemporary mediascapes, as witnessed by the increase in cookbooks, food magazines, television shows, blogs and social media. This mediatization of food means that the media often interplays between food consumption and everyday practices, between private and political matters and between individuals, groups, and societies. This volume argues that contemporary food studies needs to pay more attention to the significance of media. This book offers critical studies of food media discourses and of media users' interpretations, negotiations and uses that construct places, spaces, identities and everyday practices that might form new - or renew old - food politics.
