Bücher von Elspeth Probyn

Moving away from a simplified food politics that is largely land based, Elspeth Probyn looks at food politics from an ocean-centric perspective by tracing the global movement of several marine species to explore the complex and entangled relationship between humans and fish.

This study proposes a model of identity that takes into account the desires of individuals, and groups of individuals, to belong. It articulates, in concrete terms, precise concerns about sexuality and nationality, and analyzes terms such as "the outside", "the surface" and "belonging".

Probyn, arguing for "feminism with attitude", ranges across a wide range of theoretical strands, drawing upon a body of literature from early cultural studies to Anglo-American feminist literary criticism.

Investigating the current explosion of interest in food and eating, Elspeth Probyns book uncovers some of the deep and dark themes underlying our craving for the culinary.
