SUMMARY:Ambiguous Eating and Bodies in Global Asia: Perspectives from Critical Food and Development Studies
LOCATION:Room 1.404
DESCRIPTION:The globalisation of the agro- and food systems have touched do
 wn and acquired new and huge markets in Asia, characterized by potent and a
 spirational consumers. Global economic integration is coupled with a growin
 g commercial and consumerist interest in the body – also in the body that e
 ats and is being fed. Striving Asian markets have thus attracted growing in
 vestment capital in the fields of body and beauty industries, retail, conve
 nience food, gastronomic franchising and industrial branding. In the midst 
 of nutrition transitions, regulatory policies and development interventions
  target persisting malnutrition, food-related diseases and food insecuritie
 s.\n\nHaving been subject to food insecurity over decades, consumers increa
 singly have to manoeuvre within diversifying food options coupled with ques
 tions of access and exclusion, conflicting food, body and health discourses
  and in a context in which consumption and production systematically decoup
 le. It is the transgressive nature of food, its delineation, crossing and e
 xceeding of spatial, discursive, behavioural and material boundaries (Jenks
 , 2003; Goodman and Sage, 2014; Ehlert and Faltmann, forthcoming 2018) that
  make this panel focus on ‘food anxieties’ to stress the ambiguous nature o
 f the relationship between humans and food. Food, its consumption and surro
 unding discourses offer insights into people’s class-based, racialized and 
 gendered embeddedness within global capitalist food systems. Moreover, it c
 an be academically approached within codes of body ideals and conduct (Lupt
 on, 1996; Probyn, 2000; Cairns and Johnston, 2015), social norms, taboos on
  food provisioning and responsibility (DeVault 1994) and productivity and g
 overnance (Featherstone, 1991; Foucault, 1977, 1978).\n\nWhat forms of agen
 cy and new ways to connect to food do people pursue in their everyday lives
  in times where contradicting messages and normative accounts circulate, is
 sued by the food industry, the media and developmental policies? How do gov
 ernments, industries as well as notions and practices of development shape 
 the structural conditions and ambiguities of transitioning food systems?\n\
 nThis panel invites papers that in one way or another relate to such confli
 ctive moments and contexts of agency and structural power over what and how
  people consume food in Asia. Invitations from scholars working in the broa
 d fields of critical food and development studies promises to open up space
  for constructive discussions from various disciplinary backgrounds and the
 oretical perspectives. We are looking for papers that focus (but are not li
 mited to) on the following topics:\n\n(Gendered) Food-related self-objectif
 ication, body policing and eating disorders; Food Safety and Food Insecurit
 y; Food Waste; Counter Narratives and hegemonies: Social food movements, fo
 od policies and agro-food industries; Human-animal relations/animal welfare
