Stressing the variety of ways in which consumption is structured and organised through cultures and showing how these cultural technologies construct the person, the senses and the self, this book stands at the interface of the sociologies of culture and consumption. Arranged in two sections: Homes and Households, Places and Spaces; and Technologies of Consumption and Waste, the book includes chapters on youth consumption, cultures of the household, pornography, and waste and rubbish. This will be of interest to all those concerned with the study of culture and consumption whether from sociological, cultural or psychological perspectives.

This book is about why we eat what we eat -- & what our eating habits say about us. This world tour of food cultures shows how food relates to sex, to the culinary snakes & ladders of meat vs. vegetables, & to the often baffling rules of eating etiquette. Investigates the human fascination with food, explains how food makes friends or enemies of us all & why many societies, including our own, are obsessed with eating what is bad for them. From the psychology of supermarkets to the cuisine of trench warfare, from the diet industry to cannibalism, this book gives valuable -- & often hilarious -- insight into the importance of food in our society.

This innovative volume explores the link between local and regional eating cultures and their mediatization via transnational TV cooking shows, glocal food advertising and social media transfer of recipes. Pursuing a global and interdisciplinary approach, it brings together research conducted in Latin America, Australia, Africa, Asia and Europe, from leading scholars in sociology and political science, media and cultural studies, as well as anthropology. Drawing on this rich case study material facilitates a revealing and engaging analysis of the connection between the meta-concepts of globalization and mediatization. Across fifteen chapters its authors provide fresh insights into the different impact that food and eating cultures can have on the everyday mediation of ethnicity and class as well as local, regional and transnational modes of belonging in a media rich global environment. This exciting addition to the food studies literature will appeal in particular to students and scholars of sociology, anthropology, media and cultural studies.

A new angle on the globalisation debate, which celebrates successful resistance as well as exploring the dangers. As languages and local cultures are swept away by the market-driven monoculture, Jeremy Seabrook looks at the threat to cultural diversity and integrity all around the globe, including in western societies. Amongst the disappearing cultures, Seabrook finds that resistance is breaking out as people rediscover the imprtance of the local and the value of community.

As the modern state enters the stage of its liquidation, it is apparent that public discussion regarding ethnoracial diversity dominates the social sphere. Diversity has become a myth ready for consumption in various cultural spaces: politics, literature, mass media, advertising, leisure activities. This book deals with the patterns of exclusion, falsehood, and disorder constructed systematically by power elites in order to obscure diversity and quash the autonomy of subordinated communities. William Anselmi and Kosta Gouliamos go beyond critical analysis by proposing a nomadic-transcultural federation to replace the existing model of a multicultural Leviathan; such a proposal and plan for action can stop citizens from becoming consumers of elusive margins.

"Consuming Cultures: A Brief History of Cannibalism" provides a thorough examination of cannibalistic practices across different cultures, time periods, and contexts. Beginning with prehistoric evidence and ancient civilizations, the book explores the religious, ritualistic, and cultural significance of cannibalism. It then delves into European encounters, colonialism, and the impact of globalization on indigenous practices. The book also investigates modern-day cases of cannibalism, examining the psychological, ethical, and legal implications. Through an interdisciplinary approach, it explores the portrayal of cannibalism in literature, art, media, and popular culture, as well as scientific explanations and debates surrounding the phenomenon. With detailed chapters covering topics such as medicine, survival, and the future of cannibalism studies, "Consuming Cultures" offers readers a comprehensive understanding of one of humanity's most taboo subjects. Accompanied by an appendix containing glossaries, timelines, additional resources, and legal documents, this book serves as a valuable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the complexities of human culture and behavior.
