Towards an Eliasian Understanding of Food in the 21st Century: Established Foundations and New Directions: Palgrave Studies on Norbert Elias

Editat de John Lever, Jennifer Smith Maguire, Adrianna Kapek-Goodridge
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 oct 2024
This edited volume serves as an overview and introduction to the conceptual apparatus of Norbert Elias for newcomers, while also outlining current research within the Eliasian school of sociology. An Eliasian or figurational approach foregrounds process, is sensitive to long-term historical development and changing power relations and is methodologically diverse. Elias’s work is now found across academic disciplines and this volume contains contributions by sociologists, anthropologists, business and management scholars, and those working at the interface of sociology and human geography. Instead of simply highlighting the distinctiveness of the school vis-à-vis other theoretical traditions, this volume outlines how Eliasian inspired work can contribute to important debates on the future of food across academic disciplines.

Recenzii

“This collection is an important lens for understanding the latest insights from an Elias-inspired perspective on the sociology of food, and a nice mixture of focusing on long-term social processes in food figurations, on present-time food conventionality and the interplay between them.” (Professor Bente Halkier, Department of Sociology, University of Copenhagen)

“This fascinating edited collection both reaffirms and extends the use of figurational sociology to our understanding of food production, distribution and consumption, spanning historical and contemporary eras across a variety of countries, regions and social spaces. Despite the myriad social changes and cultural differences, the authors demonstrate how food remains a key means of seeing our social interdependence.” (Dr Paddy Dolan, School of Languages, Law and Social Sciences, Technological University Dublin)
