Political cuisine: semiotic paths

  • Gianfranco Marrone

Abstract

On the one hand, cuisine and politics have always been considered two very different semi-spheres. On the other hand, considering the issue more in depth, cooking and politics are both strategies and tactics for governing the community. What I would like to do in this essay is to highlight the unexpected of the (multiple) relations of cooking and politics. Starting from a Latourian epistemological perspective, which considers the social collective as a whole formed by human and non-human actors, and governed by a series of management, control and enhancement processes that are similar to the world of gastronomy and that of politics strictly understood.
