ITALIANS AND FOOD GEBUNDEN

This book is a novel and original collection of essays on Italians and food. Food culture is
central both to the way Italians perceive their national identity and to the consolidation of
Italianicity in global context. More broadly  being so heavily symbolically charged  Italian
foodways are an excellent vantage point from which to explore consumption and identity in the
context of the commodity chain  and the global local dialectic.The contributions from
distinguished experts cover a range of topics including food and consumer practices in Italy 
cultural intermediators and foodstuff narratives  traditions of production and regional
variation in Italian foodways  and representation of Italianicity through food in old and new
media.Although rooted in sociology  Italians and Food draws on literature from history 
anthropology  semiotics and media studies  and will be of great interest to students and
scholars of food studies  consumer culture  cultural sociology  and contemporary Italian
studies.
