FOOD FEARS, FOOD DISTRUST AND FOOD EXCLUSION IN ONE POSTSOCIALIST CULTURE AND BEYOND
Journal Title: Studia Humanistyczne AGH - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
Using various narratives on eating anxieties, this volume raises questions on postsocialism as an analytical device. This interpretative frame was founded as a means of criticism of unilinear concepts of transition and as an alternative tool for grasping peculiarities of the EEC after communism collapsed. But this frame must be challenged in order to avoid simplifications, to halt further inequalities in knowledge production and to problematize a simplified dual picture of Europe (Červinková 2012). Using the postsocialist framework should not prevent us from identifying and analysing the diversities and various dimensions of East European cultures. Neither should the concept of Postsocialism blind us to more general aspects of cultural processes, nor should it result in the proliferation of unique case studies restraining from more generalized conclusions. Then we apply the postsocialism frame not to sum up but to open up discussions of modernization, to trace complex relations of modernization and tradition, to identify the meanings it has for different people in different places, and to problematize individual agency within macro-processes
