Attachment Relationships and Food From Cradle to Kitchen

Using attachment theory as a lens for understanding the role of food in our everyday lives this book explores relationships with other people with ourselves and between client and therapist through our connection with food. The aim of this book is twofold: to examine the nature of attachment through narratives of feeding and to enrich psychotherapy practice by encouraging exploration of clients’ food-related memories and associations. Bringing together contributions from an experienced group of psychotherapists the chapters examine how our connections with food shape our patterns of attachment and defence how this influences appetite self-feeding (or self-starving) and how we may then feed others. They consider a spectrum from a secure attachment to food through to avoidant preoccupied and disorganised including discussion of eating disorders.

A History of Food in Literature From the Fourteenth Century to the Present

A History of Food in Literature From the Fourteenth Century to the Present

When novels plays and poems refer to food they are often doing much more than we might think.

A History of Food in Literature provides a clear and comprehensive overview of significant episodes of food and its consumption in major canonical literary works from the medieval period to the twenty-first century. This volume contextualises these works with reference to pertinent historical and cultural materials such as cookery books diaries and guides to good health in order to engage with the critical debate on food and literature and how ideas of food have developed over the centuries. Organised chronologically and examining certain key writers from every period including Chaucer Shakespeare Austen and Dickens this book's enlightening critical analysis makes it relevant for anyone interested in the study of food and literature. | A History of Food in Literature From the Fourteenth Century to the Present

Localizing Global Food Short Food Supply Chains as Responses to Agri-Food System Challenges

Localizing Global Food Short Food Supply Chains as Responses to Agri-Food System Challenges

Short food supply chains (SFSCs) rely primarily on local production and processing practices for the provision of food and are in principle more sustainable in social economic and environmental terms than supply chains where production and consumption are widely separated. This book reviews and assesses recent initiatives on this topic from an interdisciplinary perspective. In theoretical terms it draws on and advances two key concepts namely place (particularly embeddedness in local economic networks and communities) and governance (particularly in addressing sustainability concerns in an inclusive and socially just manner). Empirically the book examines a diverse set of SFSCs such as small-scale entrepreneurship farmers’ markets community supported agriculture and grassroots and solidarity networks. The main examples discussed are from Europe and North America but the issues are applicable in a global context. The book is of interest to advanced students researchers and professionals in food studies sociology geography planning politics and environmental studies. | Localizing Global Food Short Food Supply Chains as Responses to Agri-Food System Challenges

Food

In Food John Coveney examines ‘food as … ’ identity politics industry regulation the environment justice and gastronomy. He explores how food helps us understand what it means to be human. The centrality of food in life and the importance of food as life is undeniable. As a source of biological substrates personal pleasure and political power food is and has been an enduring requirement of human biological social and cultural existence. In recent years interest in food has increased across the academic public and popular spheres fuelled by popular media’s constant play on the role of food and body size and food and cooking as a mass spectacle for TV audiences. Through food we construct our social identities our families and communities. However Coveney also highlights the tensions between the industrialisation of food the environment and the iniquitous distribution of food. He also considers how the food industries on which most of us must rely have also had direct effects on our bodies through diet and the development of illness and diseases. This accessible primer is for students and general readers alike indeed for anyone with an interest in food. It questions the idea that food is merely something inert on the plate. Instead it shows how influential symbolic powerful and transformative food has come to be.

Gender Nutrition and the Human Right to Adequate Food Toward an Inclusive Framework

Gender Nutrition and the Human Right to Adequate Food Toward an Inclusive Framework

This book introduces the human right to adequate food and nutrition as evolving concept and identifies two structural disconnects fueling food insecurity for a billion people and disproportionally affecting women children and rural food producers: the separation of women’s rights from their right to adequate food and nutrition and the fragmented attention to food as commodity and the medicalization of nutritional health. Three conditions arising from these disconnects are discussed: structural violence and discrimination frustrating the realization of women’s human rights as well as their private and public contributions to food and nutrition security for all; many women’s experience of their and their children’s simultaneously independent and intertwined subjectivities during pregnancy and breastfeeding being poorly understood in human rights law and abused by poorly-regulated food and nutrition industry marketing practices; and the neoliberal economic system’s interference both with the autonomy and self-determination of women and their communities and with the strengthening of sustainable diets based on democratically governed local food systems. The book calls for a social movement-led reconceptualization of the right to adequate food toward incorporating gender women’s rights and nutrition based on the food sovereignty framework. | Gender Nutrition and the Human Right to Adequate Food Toward an Inclusive Framework

Community Food Initiatives A Critical Reparative Approach

Community Food Initiatives A Critical Reparative Approach

This book examines a diverse range of community food initiatives in light of their everyday practices innovations and contestations. While community food initiatives aim to tackle issues like food security food waste or food poverty it is a cause for concern for many when they are framed as the next big solution to the problems of the current industrialised food system. They have been critiqued for being too neoliberal elitist and localist; for not challenging structural inequalities (e. g. racism privilege exclusion colonialism capitalism); and for reproducing these inequalities within their own contexts. This edited volume examines the everyday realities of community food initiatives focusing on both their hopes and their troubles their limitations and failures but also their best intentions missions and models alongside their capacity to create hope in difficult times. The stories presented in this book are grounded in contemporary theoretical debates on neoliberalism diverse economies food justice community and inclusion and social innovation and help to sharpen these as conceptual tools for interrogating community food initiatives as sites of both hope and trouble. The novelty of this volume is its focus on the everyday doings of these initiatives in particular places and contexts with different constraints and opportunities. This grounded relational and place-based approach allows us to move beyond more traditional framings in which community food initiatives are either applauded for their potential or criticized for their limitations. It enables researchers and practitioners to explore how community food initiatives can realize their potential for creating alternative food futures and generates innovative pathways for theorising the mutual interplay of food production and consumption. This volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of critical food studies food security public health and nutrition as well as human geographers sociologists and anthropologists with an interest in food. | Community Food Initiatives A Critical Reparative Approach
