Abstract:


89. “Food for care: Interrogating practices of eating in troubled worlds”


How care manifests (or not) in everyday encounters with food and 
practices of eating in? How to nourish relations of care while 
nourishing the bodies? Studies from STS, food anthropology, and 
sociology present a variety of accounts of food-induced socialites and 
socio-material relations (production challenges, security and 
environmental change, boundaries between the eater and the eaten, 
digitalisation and platformization of food, etc). This panel attends to 
the mundane and everyday instances of relating to, with and through 
eating. Mundane encounters with food manifest social class, gendered 
work division, colonial attitudes, socio-economic inequalities, and the 
moral balance between health and pleasure. Responsibilization of eating 
and cooking transforms the kitchen and the dining table into a boundary 
terrain for public health campaigns, environmental concerns, and 
hedonistic searches for pleasure. This panel asks what is or can be 
neglected as we care for what and how we eat? Especially as sanitary 
regimes of lockdowns, confinements, and curfews forefront eating in and 
intensify invisible work. We invite multidisciplinary works which tackle 
eating as a learned, trained, proceduralized, and performed practice 
shaping relations to science, governance, health, pleasure, solidarity, 
and care. We welcome attention to the embodied aspect of eating and 
cooking, including interactions with products, elements, instruments, 
and technology. Following food studies scholars, submissions may be 
analytically focused on three points and their interrelations: social 
occasions, food selections, and processes of body incorporation. 
Finally, we are curious about methodological and speculative reflections 
on the transformative side of research into the practices of eating.

Keywords:eating practices, care work, health and pleasure, invisible 
work, responsibilization
