This comprehensive work delves into the multifaceted cultural interpretations of food practices within urban contexts, drawing upon a diverse range of case studies across the Americas, Asia, Australia, and Europe. By incorporating the senses into the study of urban food, the volume seeks to uncover fresh perspectives on how people inhabit cities and how we can comprehend cities through the lens of food. It unveils the unique insights that the senses offer in understanding the transformations and understandings of urban spaces and their inhabitants. Recognizing cities as multifaceted and ever-evolving landscapes, the book presents a rich tapestry of case studies spanning from food production to preparation, media representation, and consumption. These relationships are examined through the themes of belonging and homemaking, shedding light on how food, memory, and materiality intertwine and disrupt past, present, and future imaginaries. As cities continue to grow in size, density, and complexity, this volume offers valuable contributions to the exploration of potential ways in which the senses can generate new insights into the dynamics of urban coexistence.
This book holds immense appeal to students and scholars engaged in critical food studies, urban studies, and socio-cultural anthropology. Its multidisciplinary approach fosters a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between food, culture, and society, providing valuable insights into the rapidly evolving urban landscape.
