Selected quotations on food for the Vitenparken “Constellations of Food Knowledge” workshop (May 23, 2016) “What gives a [thing] its specificity is not some long internalized history but the face that it is constructed out of a particular constellation of social relations, meeting and weaving together at a particular locus.”
—Doreen Massey, 1999. “A Global Sense of Place.” “In the experiment [of modern science], phenomena have to be ‘selected, purified, shaped by instruments; indeed it may well be the instruments that produce the phenomenon in the first place.’”
—Hans-Jörg Rheinberger, 2010. On Historicizing Epistemology. [citing Gaston Bachelard, 1984. The New Scientific Spirit.]
“The potato holds many variable states: when cooked it affords the action of ‘eating’; when lying in the ground under a mound of soil it affords the action of ‘digging’ to a gardener anticipating a crop of fresh, new, ripe potatoes under the soil; when caked in mud lying in a sink it affords the possibility of ‘scrubbing’; for a person who dislikes the potato skin it may afford the potential for ‘peeling’.”
—Emma Roe, 2006. Things Becoming Food. “The role of the researcher [is] as storyteller, a role that can serve as the ‘hyphens’ in the community-university-policy divide.”
—Lesley Frank, 2014. “Reflections of a food studies researcher.” “[Food is] a functional unit of a system of communication, a body of images, a protocol of usages, situations, and behavior…. An entire ‘world’ [a social environment] is present in and signified by food… Food has a constant tendency to transform itself into situation.”
—Roland Barthes, 1961. Toward a Psychsociology of Contemporary Food Consumption.
“[Michel] de Certeau’s aphorism, ‘what the map cuts up, the story cuts across,’ points to transgressive travel between two different domains of knowledge: one official, objective, and abstract—‘the map’; the other one practical, embodied, and popular—‘the story.’”
—Dwight Conquergood, 2002. Performance Studies: Interventions in Radical Research.
“People ask me: Why do you write about food, and eating and drinking? Why don’t you write about the struggle for power and security, and about love, the way others do?”
—MFK Fisher, 1994. The Gastronomical Me. “I know things literally with my body, that I, ‘as’ my hands, know when the bread dough is sufficiently kneaded, and I ‘as’ my nose know when the pie is done.”
—Lisa Heldke, 1992. “Foodmaking as a Thoughtful Practice.” “Performance originals disappear as fast as they are made. No notation, no reconstruction, no film or videotape recording can keep them.”
—Richard Schechner, 1985. Between Theatre and Anthropology. “Objects such as food…should not be defined in terms of their properties, but rather in their systems of relations. Thus bread has no ‘essential’ characteristics on its own, but when it is baked, sold and eaten it becomes bread in the unfolding of these practices.”
—Peter Atkins, 2009. Liquid Materialities.
