Routledge studies in food, society and the environment
Inhalt:
"This volume contributes to the return to nature movement that is very much in vogue in contemporary European societies, by examining the place of food and eating in the rewilding process. The volume is divided into three parts, each of which consists of two conversations between scholars from different fields of the social sciences and humanities, with fieldwork collected from across France, Italy, Switzerland, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Latvia, Ukraine and Russia. The first part focuses on the ways in which the hunter-gatherer livelihood has been transformed into a resilient, simpler and ecological way of life. It is dedicated to two practices - hunting and the gathering of wild edible plants - and showcases who is engaged in such practices today, and identifies the contexts in which game meat and wild plants are consumed, as well as the reasons why these products are valued. The second part shows how some practices which aim to reconnect with natural processes are developing within a market economy. Case studies on natural wine and fasting courses help us to identify the promises that promoters are relying on in order to disseminate them. Lastly, the third part considers how this process of rewilding food is expressed in post-modernity. By focusing on two normative frameworks in which the rhetoric of the wild is mobilized although it is not expected to be in these terms - urbanity and the gender order - the goal is to understand the extent to which referring to the wild in food discourses and practices contributes to challenging our identities, and to creating possible forms of emancipation. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of food studies, human-nature relationships, food culture and the anthropology of consumption and sustainable diets"--
