Food and media : practices, distinctions and heterotopias / edited by Jonatan Leer, Karen Klitgaard Povlsen. - 212 pages ; 24 cm. - Critical food studies . - Critical food studies. .

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Food is everywhere in contemporary mediascapes, as witnessed by the increase in cookbooks, food magazines, television cookery shows, online blogs, recipes, news items, and social media posts about food. This mediatization of food means that the media often interplays between food consumption and everyday practices, between private and political matters and between individuals, groups, and societies. This volume argues that contemporary food studies need to pay more attention to the significance of media in relation to how we 'do' food.
