Nötkött : En etnologisk studie om individers föreställningar om hållbarhet och risk i förhållande till ett köttslag / Beef : An Ethnological Study of Consumers' Perceptions of Sustainability and Risk in relation to a Type of MeatPettersson, Kevin January 2019 (has links)
This study explores how beef consumption and production triggers feelings of risk related to the climate, environment, personal health and animal welfare among the study participants. These feelings are mainly analyzed through the lens of Ulrich Beck’s theories on the risk society. Theories on local, regional and national food as well as carnism are also used to analyze how the feelings of risk differ depending on how the beef is produced. By conducting qualitative interviews with a varied set of informants, this study provides a multiple perspective on beef consumption. Some of the results are that all of the informants have knowledge about different types of risks with beef consumption and production. However, some use this knowledge to change their consumption, while others do not. Furthermore, Swedish beef is believed to be the best when it comes to aspects as the impact on the climate and environment as well as animal ethics. The informants also show concern with the Swedish mass-production of beef, which some of them believe to be purely driven by economical interest rather than concern for animal welfare.

“I eat, I drink and... I vote Italian” : A critical hermeneutical analysis of gastronationalism in the rhetoric of Fratelli d’Italiaduring the European Parliament election in Italy.Zucchini, Carlo January 2023 (has links)
This paper examines the discourse surrounding Italian gastronationalism throughout the previous four European Parliament elections to gain a deeper comprehension of the escalating significance of gastronationalism over the past two decades. In this examination, the notion of gastronationalism, situated within the wider context of banal nationalism, is elucidated, and delineated to achieve the intended objective. Utilizing a case study approach, this research investigates the right-wing political party "Alleanza Nazionale / Fratelli d'Italia" through an analysis of prominent party members' discourse in newspapers and social media platforms. The findings reveal a notable escalation in the employment of gastronationalism in AN/FdI's political rhetoric from 2014 to 2019, which bears a discernible correlation with the linguistic style and communicative techniques employed by the Italian Fascist Party, originally established by Benito Mussolini.

Visual consumption : an exploration of narrative and nostalgia in contemporary South African cookbooksEngelbrecht, Francois Roelof January 2013 (has links)
This study explores the visual consumption of food and its meanings through
the study of narrative and nostalgia in a selection of five South African
cookbooks. The aim of this study is to suggest, through the exploration of
various cookbook narratives and the role that nostalgia plays in individual and
collective identity formation and maintenance, that food, as symbolic goods, can
act as a unifying ideology in the construction of a sense of national identity and
nationhood. This is made relevant in a South African context through the
analysis of a cross-section of five recent South African cookbooks. These are
Shiny happy people (2009) by Neil Roake; Waar vye nog soet is (2009) by
Emilia Le Roux and Francois Smuts; Evita’s kossie sikelela (2010) by Evita
Bezuidenhout (Pieter-Dirk Uys); Tortoises & tumbleweeds (journey through an
African kitchen) (2008) by Lannice Snyman; and South Africa eats (2009) by
Phillippa Cheifitz.
In order to gain an understanding of cookbooks’ significance in modern culture,
it is necessary to understand that cookbooks – as postmodern texts – carry
meaning and cultural significance. Through the exploration of cookbooks, as
material objects of culture, one is also able to explore non-material items of
culture such as the society’s knowledge, beliefs and values. Other key concepts
to this study include the global growth of interest in food; the shift from the
physical consumption of food to the visual consumption thereof; the roles that consumption, narrative and nostalgia play in constructing and maintaining
personal and collective identities; and the role of food as a unifying ideology in
the construction of a sense of nationhood. / Dissertation (MA)--University of Pretoria, 2013. / gm2014 / Visual Arts / unrestricted
