La cultura del gusto. La alimentación entre representaciones y conexiones / The culture of taste. Food between representations and connections

Abstract

The aim of this essay is to explore the classical theoretical considerations and the post-modern scenarios, in which the discourse on food is set, by focusing the sociological attention on the fundamental features of contemporary ideologies and food routine. We will study the newly introduced reconfiguration of culinary techniques and arts into the media framework, with special attention to the "gastromania" scenarios 2.0. We will therefore analyze the social, cultural and economic impact of social networks on our food choices. Our interpretative perspective will be based on the topics of disinformation. Our hypothesis is that the greater space that old and new media are devoting to the story of food and well-being does not involve, however, a higher degree of knowledge of food issues.
