RESEARCH METHODS FOR ANTHROPOLOGICAL STUDIES OF FOOD AND NUTRITION<\/strong>\u00a0Volumes I-III Set<\/a><\/p>\n

Edited by Janet Chrzan and John A. Brett<\/p>\n

Published in Association with the Society for the Anthropology of Food and Nutrition (SAFN) and in Collaboration with Rachel Black and Leslie Carlin<\/strong><\/p>\n

These volumes offer a comprehensive reference for students and established scholars interested in food and nutrition research in Nutritional and Biological Anthropology, Archaeology, Socio-Cultural and Linguistic Anthropology, Food Studies and Applied Public Health.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel that this set will be exceptionally useful not only for anthropologists, but also for ethnographers, demographers, and others conducting research within food systems and food studies. With the burgeoning interest in food research at all levels, and with new graduate programs in the field, this book has the potential to be a crucial resource for scholars in the field\u2026 I look forward to requiring this as reading for my graduate students and advanced undergraduates.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 Teresa Mares<\/strong>, University of Vermont<\/p>\n

\"\"Volume I<\/p>\n

FOOD RESEARCH<\/a>
\nNutritional Anthropology and Archaeological Methods
\nEdited by Janet Chrzan and John A. Brett<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Biocultural and archaeological research on food, past and present, often relies on very specific, precise, methods for data collection and analysis. These are presented here in a broad-based review. Individual chapters provide opportunities to think through the adoption of methods by reviewing the history of their use along with a discussion of research conducted using those methods. A case study from the author’s own work is included in each chapter to illustrate why the methods were adopted in that particular case along with abundant additional resources to further develop and explore those methods.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Volume II<\/p>\n

FOOD CULTURE<\/a>
\nAnthropology, Linguistics and Food Studies
\nEdited by Janet Chrzan and John A. Brett<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This volume offers a comprehensive guide to methods used in the sociocultural, linguistic and historical research of food use. This volume is unique in offering food-related research methods from multiple academic disciplines, and includes methods that bridge disciplines to provide a thorough review of best practices. In each chapter, a case study from the author’s own work is to illustrate why the methods were adopted in that particular case along with abundant additional resources to further develop and explore the methods.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Volume III<\/p>\n

FOOD HEALTH<\/a>
\nNutrition, Technology, and Public Health
\nEdited by Janet Chrzan and John A. Brett<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nutritional Anthropology and public health research and programming have employed similar methodologies for decades; many anthropologists are public health practitioners while many public health practitioners have been trained as medical or biological anthropologists. Recognizing such professional connections, this volume provides in-depth analysis and comprehensive review of methods necessary to design, plan, implement and analyze public health programming using anthropological best practices. To illustrates the rationale for use of particular methods, each chapter elaborates a case study from the author’s own work, showing why particular methods were adopted in each case.<\/p>\n

Food, Nutrition, and Culture<\/em><\/strong> Series<\/a><\/p>\n

Published by Berghahn Books in Association with the Society for the Anthropology of Food and Nutrition<\/a> (SAFN).<\/em><\/p>\n

While eating is a biological necessity, the production, distribution, preparation, and consumption of food are all deeply culturally inscribed activities. Taking an anthropological perspective, this book series provides a forum for thought-provoking work on the bio-cultural, cultural, and social aspects of human nutrition and food habits. The books in this series present timely food-related scholarship intended for researchers, academics, students, and those involved in food policy.<\/p>\n

THE HERITAGE ARENA<\/a>
\nReinventing Cheese in the Italian Alps
\nCristina Grasseni<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cFor the interested reader, there is a wealth of information in<\/em> The Heritage Arena. The book, and especially sections of it, would work well in graduate seminars on food, food politics, and heritage. It will appeal to scholars who work on the anthropology of food, especially those who do research in Europe and Italy, as well as those who look at cheese production. Scholars of heritage will also find its treatment of heritage as discursively produced and articulated within complex value-production structures important.\u201d<\/em> \u2022 Anthropos<\/strong><\/p>\n

RECONSTRUCTING OBESITY<\/a>
\nThe Meaning of Measures and the Measure of Meanings
\nEdited by Megan McCullough and Jessica Hardin
\nAfterword by Stephen T. McGarvey<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not a book that seeks to discredit health research and leave others to do the work of finding a better way to conduct it; rather, it aims to improve health research by providing useful avenues for critique and suggestions for ways forward. In this sense, it works as a very practical guide for those working in the health professions, whether as researchers or healthcare providers, to better understand \u201cobesity\u201d and \u201coverweight\u201d and, importantly, fat people in social and environmental context\u2026 it makes a welcome and necessary intervention into the business of health research, provision, and discourse, as well as its public reception.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 Fat Studies Journal<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026a well-written and insightful ethnography of modern Greek culture\u2014a good endeavor of ethnographic writing directed not only to students and academics but also to a more general public\u2026 I also like the way that the tradition of Greek ethnography blends with new methodological tools and current concerns.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 Elia Petridou<\/strong>, University of the Aegean<\/p>\n

FOOD IN ZONES OF CONFLICT<\/a>
\nCross-Disciplinary Perspectives
\nEdited by Paul Collinson and Helen Macbeth
\nForeword by Hugo Slim<\/p>\n

Volume 8, Anthropology of Food & Nutrition<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the most prevalent themes of this innovative collection is the exploration of how food becomes highly politicized and used as a political and military weapon, with multiple chapters examining\u2014and convincingly demonstrating\u2014how governments and other powerful groups exploit the availability of and access to food\u2026 a valuable contribution to an often overlooked and underexplored topic, which also offers innovative and novel case studies and empirical data to the more well-trodden tropes of food security and poverty, nutrition and intervention. It is sure to find its way onto many reading lists and will provide a useful resource for undergraduate and graduate teaching and research.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 Food, Culture & Society<\/strong><\/p>\n

BURGUNDY<\/a>
\nA Global Anthropology of Place and Taste
\nMarion Demossier<\/p>\n

Volume 43, New Directions in Anthropology<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Drawing on more than twenty years of fieldwork, this book explores the professional, social and cultural world of Burgundy wines, the role of terroir, and its transnational deployment in China, Japan, South Korea and New Zealand. It demystifies the terroir ideology by providing a unique long-term ethnographic analysis of what lies behind the concept. While the Burgundian model of terroir has gone global by acquiring UNESCO world heritage status, its very legitimacy is now being challenged amongst the vineyards where it first took root.<\/p>\n

\nRelatedness in a Ramu River Society, Papua New Guinea
\nAnita von Poser<\/p>\n

Volume 4, Person, Space and Memory in the Contemporary Pacific<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a rich ethnography, steeped in the literatures on emotion, the body, and place\u2026 For those looking for holistic ethnographies for teaching purposes, this book could be easily incorporated into advanced undergraduate or graduate courses. In our neoliberal times, it will be especially eye-opening for students to see the intensely social nature of Bosmun food practices. It will also reward scholars interested in thinking through current anthropological approaches to foodways in relationship to kinship, gender, place, and emotional experience.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 Food and Foodways<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis important volume sheds new light on the social, political, and economic role of beer in society and greatly increases the depth and breadth of anthropological studies on drinking.
