Food Instagram Summary

Food Instagram: Identity, Influence, and Negotiation by Emily J. H. Contois

Winner of the 2023 Association for the Study of Food and Society Book Prize for Edited Volume

Image by image and hashtag by hashtag, Instagram has redefined the ways we relate to food. Emily J. H. Contois and Zenia Kish edit contributions that explore the massively popular social media platform as a space for self-identification, influence, transformation, and resistance. Artists and journalists join a wide range of scholars to look at foods connection to Instagram from vantage points as diverse as Hong Kongs camera-centric foodie culture, the platforms long history with feminist eateries, and the photography of Australias livestock producers. What emerges is a portrait of an arena where people do more than build identities and influence. Users negotiate cultural, social, and economic practices in a place that, for all its democratic potential, reinforces entrenched dynamics of power.

Interdisciplinary in approach and transnational in scope, Food Instagram offers general readers and experts alike new perspectives on an important social media space and its impact on a fundamental area of our lives.

Food Instagram Reviews

"Media and food studies scholars, Emily Contois and Zenia Kish and their co-authors, have produced an in-depth, analytical, and highly interdisciplinary book that includes writers from the fields of various 'studies' (food, media, American) as well as history, science and technology, sociology, anthropology, and political science." --Journal of Folklore Research Reviews
"Contois and Kish have prepared a veritable smorgasbord of perspectives on the all-pervasive and all-important nature of food on visual social media in this deliciously engrossing collection. From aperitifs to aesthetics, and placemaking to politics, this book has something for every reader."--Tama Leaver, coauthor of Instagram: Visual Social Media Cultures
"Instagram has become much more than a fun medium for selfies, food porn, and branding. This volume shows how the digital app and the kind of food representations it supports contribute to building identities and negotiating social and economic relationships."--Fabio Parasecoli, author of Bite Me: Food in Popular Culture
