Dear all,
Allegra: a Virtual Lab is looking for reviewers for recent publications linked to its ongoing thematic week in the Anthropology of Food, Body and Sensations; http://allegralaboratory.net/recent-publications-on-food-reviewers-wanted/
One of the ethnographies on the list looks at the slaughterhouse and the killing of non-human bodies and another one explores women’s agency in relation to food insecurity – so hopefully something for everyone! If you are interested in reviewing one of these books for us, please contact Allegra’s Editor, Judith Beyer, or Reviews assistant, Sophie Allies-Curtis, [log in to unmask] and we will send you a copy! We construct our bodies through the consumption and non-conception of food, a subject explored in Charlotte Biltekoff book, looking at ‘our obsession with diet as a proxy for health’. In the books on our list food is used as a means to explore a wide range of subjects, such as ideas around how what we eat shapes our identities: from migration in the Caribbean, to the importance of rice and community in Vietnam and inclusion/exclusion among the Garos of Assam. Other ethnographies focus on food movements and activism, linking in with Allegra’s on-going thread on #Sustainability; Fair Trade tea in India, ethical food in post socialist societies and the impact of globalisation on food consumption are just a few of the subjects covered.

Allegra is a social media experiment to find creative ways to fill the ‘Dead Space’ that currently exists in between ongoing societal and academic discussions today, and eventual scholarly publications appearing in a few years (http://allegralaboratory.net/about/). Our previous thematic lists of Recent Publications include AnthroIslam (http://allegralaboratory.net/current-publications-on-islam-looking-for-reviewers-anthroislam/) and Economics (http://allegralaboratory.net/recent-publications-on-economics-reviewers-wanted/).
