Description:The Psychopolitics of Food probes into the contemporary foodscape, examining culinary practices and food habits and in particular the ways in which they conflate with neoliberal political economy. It suggests that generic alimentary and culinary practices constitute technologies of the self and the body and argues that the contemporary preoccupation with food takes the form of rites of passage that express and mark the transition from a specific stage of neoliberal development to another vis-a-vis a re-configuration of the alimentary and sexual regimes.Even though these rites of passage are taking place on the borders of cultural bi-polarities, their function, nevertheless, is precisely to define these borders as sites of a neoliberal transitional demand; that is, to produce a cultural bifurcation between eating orders and eating dis-orders, by promoting and naturalising certain social logics while simultaneously rendering others as abject and anachronistic.The book draws on anthropology, sociology, psychoanalysis and critical psychology, in addition to being methodologically pluralistic. It is a worthwhile read for researchers and advanced scholars in the areas of food studies, critical psychology, anthropology and sociology."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
