Toward an Affective Political Ecology of Obesity
This article argues for an affective approach to obesity that destabilizes the conceptual boundaries between the biological and the social aspects of food, eating, and fatness. Its approach foregrounds visceral experience, attends to food both inside and outside the body, and explores how bodies labeled “obese” consume their political, economic, and material environments. This approach is termed affective political ecology. The authors’ aim is to…

The Intimacies of Industry: Consumer Interactions with the “Stuff” of Celebrity Chefs
Celebrity chefs foster a relationship of intimacy with consumers, compounded by presenting styles, social media and the opening up of their personal lives. These intimacies are extended into domestic spaces through material objects such as kitchen equipment, specialist ingredients and cookbooks, which are brought into the home. This article interrogates the ways a group of UK consumers interact with this “stuff” of celebrity chefs and explores th…

Horsemeat-gate: The Discursive Production of a Neoliberal Food Scandal
Academic and lay debates about food variously articulate the ways in which contemporary food provisioning systems are inherently problematic and unstable. Drawing evidence from the seeming prevalence of adulteration scandals, moral panics and other food crises, these debates reproduce a set of entangled moral discourses about food, its consumption and production. Within these discourses, ideological lines are drawn, and particular types of consum…
In the Absence of Men? Gender, Migration and Domestic Labour in the Southern Ecuadorean Andes
Female heads of households in the migrant-exporting community of Jima, Ecuador, are using remittances to employ domestic workers. As both workers and 'mistresses' originate from the samemestizopeasant class, these new labour relations do not reflect embedded class inequalities, but are rather emerging as a new mode of distinction between newly prosperous households and those for whom migration has been a less successful strategy. This lends a tem…

It Doesn't Taste as Good from the Pet Shop”: Guinea Pig Consumption and the Performance of Transnational Kin and Class Relations in Highland Ecuador and New York City
This paper contends that male migrants living in New York who originate from the Ecuadorian village of Jima are reconstituted as both Jimeño men and campesinos (peasants) through their consumption of cuy (guinea pig) on ritual and familial occasions. Cuy is rich in cultural capital and symbolizes aspects of Jima's social and cultural life which are locally conceived as contributing to its distinct rural character, and its circulation and exchange…
