TY - BOOK ID - 138963350 TI - The discursive construction of class and lifestyle : celebrity chef cookbooks in post-socialist Slovenia PY - 2017 PB - Amsterdam : John Benjamins Publishing Company, DB - UniCat KW - Cookbooks KW - Celebrity chefs KW - Slovenia KW - Social life and customs UR - https://www.unicat.be/uniCat?func=search&query=sysid:138963350 AB - This book discusses transformations in the construction of culinary taste, lifestyle and class through cookbook language style in post-socialist Slovenia. Using CDA methodology it demonstrates relying on standard and celebrity cookbooks how the representation of culinary advice has changed in recent decades as a result of general social transformations such as postmodernity and globalization. It argues that compared to the standard cookbooks, where nutritionist ideology is at the forefront, the celebrity cookbooks reflect the conversational, hybrid nature of the genre, through which they promote global foodie discourse, while at the same time localizing the global trends to the Slovene context. The book lays at the intersection of discourse analysis, sociology, food, cultural, communication and media studies and (post- ) socialism. ER -
