Exploring the expression of taste through the processes of consumption
this book provides an incisive and accessible evaluation of the
current theories of consumption, and trends in the representation and
purchase of food. Alan Warde outlines various theories of change in
the twentieth century, and considers the parallels between their
diagnoses of consumer behaviour and actual trends in food practices.
He argues that dilemmas of modern practical life and certain
imperatives of the culture of consumption make sense of food
selection. He suggests that contemporary consumption is best viewed as
a process of continual selection among an unprecedented range of
generally accessible items which are made available both commercially
and informally.
