A Woman in Charge of a Farm: French Women Farmers Challenge Hegemonic Femininity
Using data derived from a study focusing on women in southwest France who performed value-added agriculture, we question to what extent women's involvement in a male-dominated occupation, such as farming, provides a context for them to resist normative expectations of hegemonic femininity and to perform alternative forms of femininity. Our findings demonstrate that hegemonic femininity is being challenged and alternative femininities are emerging…
Fasting in the mid-west: A theoretical assessment of ‘feminist agrifoods systems theory’
Gendered Considerations for Safety in Conservation Fieldwork
Scholars conducting research on either the social or biological dimensions of conservation practice may confront harassment, violence, and sexual assault. While guidelines for researcher safety usually cover the obvious perils encountered while conducting research in nature and with wild animals, less attention has been focused on the dangers associated with encountering and confronting humans. The aim of review boards for both human and animal s…
Agricultrices et diversification agricole: L’ empowerment pour comprendre l’évolution des rapports de pouvoir sur les exploitations en France et aux États-Unis
Cet article questionne comment l’implication des femmes dans des activités de diversification agricole (c’est-à-dire l’ensemble des activités allant au-delà de la ‘seule’ production) peut remettre en question les relations de pouvoir au sein de l’exploitation agricole (familiale) dans deux contextes culturels différents : les États-Unis et la France. Dans le contexte de développement de ces activités, un processus d’ empowerment devient possible …
Value-added agriculture: A context for the empowerment of French women farmers
Farm Women and the Empowerment Potential in Value-Added Agriculture
While the number of women in farming has risen in the United States, less clear is whether increasing participation in agriculture translates into empowerment. Are invisibility and disempowerment lingering expressions of farm women's experience? Using qualitative data drawn from 32 interviews with Michigan value-added farmers, we examine the extent to which women have been able to experience empowerment, and the ways in which value-added agricult…

Farm Women and Agritourism: Representing a New Rurality
This article examines how farm women represent rurality and agriculture within the context of farm tourism. We draw upon qualitative data analysis of a farm women's agritourism network in southern France centred on sheep milk production for Roquefort cheese. Through the use of choreography, staging, performances, and their bodies, we found that women represent rurality and agriculture in multiple and seemingly contradictory ways. At times they pa…
Constructing Culinary Knowledge: Reading Rural Community Cookbooks
The late nineteenth and early twentieth century was a period rife with social change for both the domains of food production and consumption, with significant consequences for how we know food today. Yet the ways in which culinary knowledge became standardized beyond cooking schools and commercial cookbooks remains largely undisclosed, particularly in rural households. Much of the existing cookbook literature relies on cookbooks that originate fr…
Halal on the menu: Contested food politics and French identity in fast-food
Food System Makers: Motivational Frames for Catalyzing Agri-Food Development through Multi-Stakeholder Collaboration
Multi-stakeholder partnerships are indispensable in the tool kit of community economic developers. In this paper, we examine the role of multi-stakeholder collaboration as a tool for renewing agriculture by using evidence from the Food System Economic Partnership (FSEP) in Michigan. FSEP represents a unique partnership of diverse - and in many cases, historically antagonistic - stakeholders from local government and universities, agri-business, a…
Not in my port: The “death ship” of sheep and crimes of agri-food globalization
Stratification on the Menu: Using Restaurant Menus to Examine Social Class
LONG RECOGNIZED AS a source of conspicuous for the wealthy (Veblen 1899), over the past two decades food has increasingly become a signifier of social and cultural capital for a growing number of Americans. Celebrity chefs, television food channels, international cooking schools, cookbooks that line the shelves of corporate booksellers, as well as the proliferation of international restaurant chains are evidence of our efforts to differentiate ba…
The “All-American Meal: Constructing Confidence in the Case of BSE
Using content analysis of newspaper coverage of the discovery of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in the United States, we analyze the media's portrayal of the “BSE crisis,” from a social constructionist perspective. We identify the salient claims-makers in the dialogue over food safety as it pertains to the discovery of BSE and we examine the content of their claims to reveal their core messages. We find that public definitions and respons…
