Document Summary
Week 3- food culture: you are what you eat. Human processes of meaning-making generating artifacts, categories, norms, values, practices, rituals, symbols, worldviews, ideas, ideologies, and discourses (p. 34) Transmission of culture: consciously passed on from one generation to the next through processes like parenting and education, unconsciously absorbed and reproduced through things like everyday practices, conversations, actions, the media and popular culture. The types of cutlery you use, kinds of tastes that you prefer. Example, what type of images you want to post on social media. Economic capital: how much money do we have available to purchase a food item. Symbolic capital: someone that you would want to sponsor your food product, example. Kardashian and anything they get behind will have a lot of symbolic capital. Social capital: networks and who you know. Cultural schemas (vaisey): unconscious networks of neural associations that shape our habits, including our food habits.
