Body Image and Eating Disorders
Author: Fabio Gabrielli
language: en
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Release Date: 2022-06-09
One of the paradoxes of our current era is that only 10% of obese or overweight people are actually dieting, whereas nearly 20% of the remaining population are trying to lose weight, even if they do not need to. This volume looks into our contemporary relationship with food by inserting current body image and eating disorders, like orthorexia and bigorexia, into a broader, historical overview. Gabrielli and Irtelli combine their knowledge of psychoanalysis and anthropology with scientific research and clinical experience to create this truly interdisciplinary work. Their study uses psychoanalytical theories about our 'hyper-modern' times to trace the impact that mass media has on individuals, families and societies. It explores various 'food tribes' and exposes the contradictions of today's mass media that advertise fitness and dieting alongside increasingly tastier and accessible foods. The work helps us to understand our highly social relationship with our bodies and what we eat.
La dittatura del sapore
Hamburger di carne sintetica, panini con i grilli, patatine di farina di mosca: in nome del rispetto dell'ambiente e della salute, il nuovo menù del mondo globalizzato mette al bando ciò che per secoli ha plasmato la nostra identità alimentare, dal vino all'olio d'oliva, dalle carni al pane, annientando ogni diritto alla pluralità, alla differenza e al locale. Anche a tavola, nel modo in cui pensiamo, produciamo, prepariamo, gustiamo il cibo, si sta assistendo all'imposizione di un unico modello ammesso e autorizzato: il nuovo codice gastronomicamente corretto, applicato allo stesso modo in ogni angolo del pianeta, non è altro che la variante alimentare del politicamente corretto, proprio come il piatto unico è l'equivalente del pensiero unico. Diego Fusaro punta il dito sulla deriva in corso, ne smaschera la grigia ideologia omologante, ne denuncia gli effetti disastrosi - perdita della convivialità, della valenza simbolica e culturale del cibo, aumento delle disuguaglianze e dell'asimmetria tra i primi e gli ultimi - e insieme propone una nuova filosofia del mangiare bene in cui il cibo torni ad alimentare le teste oltre che le pance.
