Food, Masculinities, and Home: Interdisciplinary Perspectives: Home

Editat de Michelle Szabo, Dr. Shelley Koch
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 noi 2018
Long-held associations between women, home, food, and cooking are beginning to unravel as, in a growing number of households, men are taking on food and cooking responsibilities. At the same time, men's public foodwork continues to gain attention in the media and popular culture. The first of its kind, Food, Masculinities and Home focuses specifically on food in relation to how homemaking practices shape masculine identities and transform meanings of 'home'. The international, multidisciplinary contributors explore questions including how food practices shape masculinity and notions of home, and vice versa; the extent to which this gender shift challenges existing gender hierarchies; and how masculinities are being reshaped by the growing presence of men in kitchens and food-focused spaces.With ever-growing interest in both food and gender studies, this is a must-read for students and researchers in food studies, gender studies, cultural studies, sociology, geography, anthropology, and related fields.

Recenzii

As a whole then, the book offers the building blocks scholars need to begin constructing new representations of gender, home and food. Editors and authors offer a review of what went before, a wealth of empirical data from many parts of the world, several original theoretical concepts that allow for the conceptualization of new food-based domestic masculinities and a range of research methods that could be emulated by other scholars in this field."
This is a coherent and carefully edited collection of essays. It would be a very good starting point for any student or researcher wanting to study the intersections of food and masculinities. It is also an enjoyable read.
Presumptions about the gendered nature of domestic life permeate academic approaches to food. Challenging that with a focus on men, masculinities and the home, Szabo and Koch provide nuanced examples from a variety of disciplines. Expanding the terrain, they find that much has changed while much has stayed the same
Wide-ranging yet coherent, this rich collection brings together new research on the relationships between masculinity, food and home that will be required reading for anyone interested in contemporary food cultures and/or domestic life.
