出版商概要
"Food is an increasingly important status marker, but little systematic attention has been given to the subject until now. Johnston and Baumann use discourse analysis blending interviews of self-defined foodies with the "food writing" in contemporary American magazines, newspapers and books. This is a heavy topic presented with style and grace. Bravo!" --Richard A. Peterson, Vanderbilt University, USA "In recent years the affluent classes have succeeded in appropriating regionally authentic comestibles and global cuisine as the newest markers of elite distinction and high-status snobbery. In their thoughtful book, sociologists Josee Johnston and Shyon Baumann artfully reveal the tensions and contradictions inherent in the postmodern American culinary landscape, and in our culture at large." --David Grazian, University of Pennsylvania, USA "Foodies offers dispassionate analysis of a passionate subculture: the people who pursue authenticity and cosmopolitanism through what they eat, where they get it, and how they talk/write/blog about it.a Bringing a wealth of sociological insights to food practices, the authors also step back to allow their subjects to speak their minds.aAn excellent text for courses in cultural sociology or social movements." --Wendy Griswold, Northwestern University, USA "In the book, Johnston and Baumann rinse, chop, mix, and serve the foodie to the reader, and season it with adequate analytic tools and empirical material. The outcome is an interesting and convincing analysis of an American cultural phenomenon and a marriage between the sociology of food and the sociology of culture that can be replicated in other realms. The main strength of the book, in my opinion, is that it offers a pioneering attempt to explicate the motivations and historical trajectory of cultural omnivorousness (as it relates to the consumption of food), a phenomenon that has been thoroughly documented but rarely theorized." --Tally Katz-Gerro, University of Haifa, Israel 再读一些...
