Kobieta przy (filmowym) stole. Wegetarianizm, polityka mięsa i płeć kulturowa
Journal Title: Kultura Popularna - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 56
Abstract
The article explores cinematic representations of vegetarianism and meat-eating in the context of the blockbuster British romantic comedy Notting Hill (1999) and one of the episodes of the American legal drama The Good Wife, entitled The Red Meat. The article approaches the acts of meat consumption and its refusal performed by female characters from the perspective the sexual politics of meat whose major principles have been analyzed by Carol J. Adams in her 1990 work. The analysis of the representation of the relation between meat (consumed or rejected) and gender proposed in the article displays a twofold function it may perform in a cultural text: it may be used as a narrative strategy which helps complete a psychological portrait of a character and as a starting point to explore a changing status of vegetarianism in contemporary culture. Suspended between rejection and desire, animal meat served, as food becomes a focus of gender and identity inscribed in a broader context of the question of subjectivity of non-human animals.<br/><br/>
