Vol. 41 (2020): The cultural politics of food and eating in Poland and beyond

This special issue of Ethnologia Polona includes contributions from an international group of scholars who scrutinize the culturally embedded politics of food and foodways in Poland and beyond. Our aim is to demonstrate both the thematic scope and the theoretical directions present in the contemporary studies produced by scholars working on Poland, as well as Polish researchers working on other regions. The territorial scope of the volume is wide as it features analyses based on abundant ethnographic and historical material from Poland, Belgium, Georgia, Ukraine, Dagestan and Argentina. The volume features contributions from scholars representing different disciplines (anthropology, sociology, social history and cultural studies) based on original research (extended ethnographic fieldwork, archival research and autoethnography) and presenting a clear methodological reflection.
