Eating Beside Ourselves: Thresholds of Foods and Bodies
Edited by Heather Paxson, the William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of Anthropology and head of MIT Anthropology
Duke University Press · 2023
"Eating beside Ourselves" examines eating as a site of transfer and transformation across bodies and selves. The contributors show that by turning organic substance into food, acts of eating create interconnected food webs organized by relative conditions of edibility through which eaters may in turn become eaten.
From Summer 2023 recommended reading from MIT (MIT News).
