FOOD STUDIES: Matter, Meaning & Movement
Edited by David Szanto, Amanda Di Battista, and Irena Knezevic
What is food? A thing we eat, a creator of cultures, an all-encompassing system? An object, a process, a way of understanding ourselves? A focus of transdisciplinary practice and study? A way to altogether reimagine study and practice in the first place?
This book aims to help students address these and other questions, providing clarity and understanding about numerous themes, while also opening up possibilities for future exploration. It is also intended as a way to think about and transcend disciplinary boundaries, so that food itself might become a starting point for learning about and conducting research on food.
