Each chapter presents a unique interpretation of food’s economic, political, and sociocultural relevance. Situated in Korea’s shifting historical contexts, contributors explore themes, such as colonialism, food symbolism, gastronationalism, multiculturalism, food tourism, food security, and food sovereignty to research the ways food intersects with social issues in Korean society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edited volume includes a baker's dozen of chapters by scholars at Korean and American institutions, organized around four major themes: moving from colonialism and hunger to food sovereignty; national cuisine in the era of globalization; food practices in multicultural Korea; and food tourism as related to food crisis. Because food and foodways can serve as a marker of social status and belong to the domain of customs and beliefs, as well as offering intersections with many other economic and political factors, this interdisciplinary work collects research from diverse fields including political science, communication studies, geography, and nutrition…the writing throughout is unmistakably scholarly[.] Recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e * Choice Reviews *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCommunicating Food in Korea is a valuable contribution to the relatively new and burgeoning field of food studies. Editors Jaehyeon Jeong and Joong-Hwan Oh approach their topic from uniquely non-Western angles (all 23 contributors are native Korean), using a variety of analytical techniques (historical method, interview, questionnaire, and textual analysis), and covering a very wide swath of topics. Organized under sections on colonialism\/hunger to food sovereignty, national cuisine in a globalization era, food practices in multicultural Korea, and food tourism and food crisis, the book plumbs the depths of Korean food culture to show that cuisine acts as a major means of social communication and cultural signification. For these reasons, Communicating Food in Korea is groundbreaking, comprehensive, and eye-opening, welcomed in the research arena, classroom, and the policy-making offices. \u003c\/p\u003e -- John A. Lent, Professor Emeritus, Temple University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fascinating edited volume provides thought-provoking and theoretically rich insights into diverse scholarly issues, including the construction of traditions, identity, (post-)colonialism, nationalism, globalization, neoliberalism, and cultural hybridity in Korean cuisine in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This book is a valuable addition to the ever-growing canon of food scholarship in Korean cuisine from varied disciplines. Anyone interested in Korea or in food culture will be captivated by this multi-dimensional account of the intersection between food, culture, history, and society.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Seok Lee, University of Pennsylvania\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJaehyeon Jeong and Joong-Hwan Oh\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I: From Colonialism and Hunger to Food Sovereignty\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Reclamation Projects and Development of Agricultural Land in Colonial Korea\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChaisung Lim\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: The Narrative of Post-Childhood and Memories of Food: Study on the Symbolism of Food in Korean Postwar Formation Novels\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoh-yon Yi\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Addressing the Agri-Food Crisis in Korea: Implications of Food Sovereignty and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Peasants \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eByeong-Seon Yoon and Wonkyu Song\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart II: National Cuisine in the Era of Globalization\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Food and Nationalism: Kimchi and Korean National Identity\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHong Sik Cho\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Buddhist Temple Food in South Korea: Interests and Agency in the Reinvention of Tradition in the Age of Globalization\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeungsook Moon\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: The Reinvention of Traditional Cuisine as Counterculture\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJeehee Kim\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7 Taste of Korea: Governmental Discourse on National Cuisine and its Articulation of Nation-ness\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJaehyeon Jeong\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart III: Food Practices in Multicultural Korea\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Globalization of Halal food: A Study on its Diffusion into and Export from South Korea\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHyunseo Park and Youngmin Lee\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 9: Intrahousehold Discrepancy Regarding Food Insecurity within Intermarried Couples of Vietnamese Wives and Korean Husbands in South Korea\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaney Choi, Hye Won Chung, Ji-Yun Hwang, and Namsoo Chang\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 10: A study on Multi-Cultural Family Wives Adapting to Korean Cuisine and Dietary Patterns\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYoungil Park, Hee Sun Jeong, and Nami Joo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart IV: Food Tourism and Food Crisis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 11: Exploring Tourists Korean Food Satisfaction across Culture, Gender, and Education: Using Secondary Data from International Visitor Survey\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJee Hye Lee\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 12: Perceived Value, Importance of Nutrition Information, and Behavioral Intention for Food Tourism in Busan\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoung-Min Son, Eun-Jin Lee, and Hak-Seon Kim\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 13: Toward a Regional Level of Food Security in East Asia: Lessons from the 2007-08 Rice Crisis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDong-Yeob Kim\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042681127255,"sku":"9781793642271","price":27.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781793642271.jpg?v=1750955153","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/communicating-food-in-korea-9781793642271","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
