The Coloniality of Modern Taste (eBook, PDF)

A Critique of Gastronomic Thought

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book analyzes the coloniality of the concept of taste that gastronomy constructed and normalized as modern. It shows how gastronomy's engagement with rationalist and aesthetic thought, and with colonial and capitalist structures, led to the desensualization, bureaucratization and racialization of its conceptualization of taste.
