Ingestion and incorporation are central to our connection with the world outside our bodies. Food's powerful social, economic, political and symbolic roles cannot be ignored - what we eat is a marker of power, cultural capital, class, ethnic and racial identity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBite Me considers the ways in which popular culture reveals our relationship with food and our own bodies and how these have become an arena for political and ideological battles. Drawing on an extraordinary range of material - films, books, comics, songs, music videos, websites, slang, performances, advertising and mass-produced objects - Bite Me invites the reader to take a fresh look at today's products and practices to see how much food shapes our lives, perceptions and identities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fabio Parasecoli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845207629\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845207625\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berg Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Fabio Parasecoli","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088878711039,"sku":"9781845207625","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7bd05320-5cda-4471-9d7a-3a05f46b686d.jpg?v=1769107043","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bite-me-fabio-parasecoli-9781845207625","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
