Food Anxiety In Globalising Vietnam

ISBN: 9789811307423 出版年：2018 页码：330 Judith Ehlert Springer

This open access book approaches the anxieties inherent in food consumption and production in vietnam. The country’s rapid and recent economic integration into global agro-food systems and consumer markets spurred a new quality of food safety concerns, health issues and distrust in food distribution networks that have become increasingly obscured. This edited volume further puts the eating body centre stage by following how gendered body norms, food taboos, power structures and social differentiation shape people’s ambivalent relations with food. It uncovers vietnam’s trajectories of agricultural modernisation against which consumers and producers manoeuvre amongst food self-sufficiency, security and abundance.Food anxiety in globalising vietnam is explicitly about ‘dangerous’ food – regarding its materiality and meaning.
