Understanding Consumer Culture: the Role of “Food” As an Important Cultural Category
Food represents, in a symbolic manner, the dominant ways of a given society. Through an analysis of its habits and consumption practices, it is possible to understand a series of meanings associated with the production of identities, the establishment and maintenance of social relationships, and cultural changes in a society. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to identify, through the classification proposed by Arnould and Thompson (2005) regarding the different research programs on CCT, a group of studies which, in some way, has dealt with the food topic in different contexts associated with consumer culture.
