Beskrivning

Is food porn a vibrant and democratic new expression of modern food culture or a superficial addition to an image-saturated world? Tracing its origins from the 1970s to today, this timely book examines the evolution of food porn as a desire-inducing aesthetic practice and a visually extravagant food spectacle.Through discussions on class, gender, sexuality and national identities, it questions whether food porn reinforces social hierarchies or empowers individuals. Also exploring anti-food porn aesthetics, this book is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the deeper social implications of food’s digital allure.

'Read in one sitting, I was both entertained and schooled in the dynamism of food porn. A deft exploration of how food images organize desire, gender, and power, while leaving space for humour, irony, and resistance.' Josée Johnston, University of Toronto
