CUERVO, Maria Rita Macedo; HAMANN, Cristiano  and  PIZZINATO, Adolfo. Production, sociability and technology in the person-food's relation. Rev. psicol. polít. [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.42, pp.364-378. ISSN 1519-549X.

This essay aims to discuss psychosocial aspects that shape a relational field with foods and processes associated with cultivation, production, commercialization, preparation and food consumption. Eating in contemporary society is a complex doing: choosing what to consume is culturally oriented by political / technological / affective processes that express themselves in the global society. In this context, it is fundamental to take into account the crossings of contemporary capitalism and its share in the conditions of subjective production that, in the potentially interdisciplinary field of food, shows beyond an interpretation of nutrition by the aegis of the biological.

Keywords : Food; Culture; Subjectivity; Technology; Commensalism.
