Series Statement:
Routledge studies in food, society and the environment
Content:
"This work explores diverse cultural understandings of food practices in cities through the senses, drawing on case studies in North and South America, Asia and Europe. The volume expands the increasingly popular field of urban food studies to include the senses in which we explore new understandings of how people live in cities and how we can understand cities through food. It reveals how the senses can provide unique insights into how the city and its dwellers are being reshaped and understood. Recognising cities as diverse and dynamic places, the book provides a wide range of case studies from food production to preparation and mediatisation through to consumption. These relationships are interrogated through themes of belonging and homemaking to discuss how food, memory, and materiality connect and disrupt past, present, and future imaginaries. As cities become larger, busier, and more crowded, this volume contributes to actual and potential ways that senses can generate new understandings of how people live together or create boundaries in cities. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of critical food studies, urban studies and sociocultural anthropology"--
