Foodscapes: Towards a Deleuzian Ethics of Consumption

0/5 ( ratings)

This fascinating volume draws on the work of Gilles Deleuze to examine how we relate to the edible. Rick Dolphijn traveled to the disparate cities of Hangzhou, Boston, Bangalore, and Lyon and conducted over one hundred interviews with the cities' residents. He then used the philosophical concepts of Deleuze to analyze his travel experiences and investigate the role of food in human culture and society. His work shows how the micropolitics of food reveal fascinating insights into cultural concepts such as the self, the state, dietetics, and capitalism. Foodscapes ultimately offers an unusual and intriguing perspective on food's complex role in our daily lives.
