Digital Food Cultures

Digital Food Cultures

This book explores the interrelations between food technology and knowledge-sharing practices in producing digital food cultures. Digital Food Cultures adopts an innovative approach to examine representations and practices related to food across a variety of digital media: blogs and vlogs (video blogs) Facebook Instagram YouTube technology developers’ promotional media online discussion forums and self-tracking apps and devices. The book emphasises the diversity of food cultures available on the internet and other digital media from those celebrating unrestrained indulgence in food to those advocating very specialised diets requiring intense commitment and focus. While most of the digital media and devices discussed in the book are available and used by people across the world the authors offer valuable insights into how these global technologies are incorporated into everyday lives in very specific geographical contexts. This book offers a novel contribution to the rapidly emerging area of digital food studies and provides a framework for understanding contemporary practices related to food production and consumption internationally.

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.

Online Supervision A Handbook for Practitioners

Online Supervision A Handbook for Practitioners

As online therapy becomes more mainstream the importance of using a means of supervision which parallels this is increasingly being recognised by practitioners and the professional bodies. Very little has been written about this newly developing way of working so this book is timely. Online Supervision: A Handbook for Practitioners covers a wide range of issues from the practical aspects of how supervision happens through research legal and ethical issues to specific therapeutic settings and issues. Existing models of supervision are considered in the context of the online setting and new models which have been developed specifically for supervising online are explored. All chapters are authored by experienced online therapists and supervisors who bring their considerable knowledge from their practice to illuminate this growing area of the profession. In many chapters anonymised case examples illustrate the text alongside reflective activities which readers can choose to undertake. While the book aims to develop the practice of online supervision of online therapists it is recognised that there are circumstances which mean that some practitioners may choose to engage in online supervision of their face-to-face work. This is recognised and guidelines for offering and engaging in online supervision are discussed. Many practitioners begin to offer online supervision without specialised training and the final chapter centres on a discussion about the value and necessity of undertaking preparation for working in a new medium. Online Supervision: A Handbook for Practitioners will be highly readable and accessible to both experienced practitioners and newcomers to this field. | Online Supervision A Handbook for Practitioners
