Food and Cultural Studies re-examines the interdisciplinary history of food studies from a cultural studies framework, from the semiotics of Barthes and the anthropology of Levi-Strauss to Elias' historical analysis and Bourdieu's work on the relationship between food, our positions in the world around us. This book will be fascinating reading for students and academics studying both consumption and cultural studies more broadly. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
