Synopsis

This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2015.

All the pieces found in this volume are like precious ingredients of a rare recipe. They represent different perspectives and originate from different starting points. While each piece is characterized by an internal balance of theoretical, empirical, and methodological approaches, each explores food as it relates to some unique aspect of society, culture, and/or the human condition. All put together, the nine chapters “cook up” an understanding of food in its true multi-layered character. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the reader of this volume can arrive at meaningful conclusions, draw interesting connections, and at the end, have a better understanding of an activity central to all humanity from the beginning of its existence.
