Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Epidemiologiska studier visar att aspekter som låg utbildning, utländsk härkomst, hög arbetslöshet och boende i områden med lägre status är kopplade till större förekomst av ohälsa, exempelvis hjärtsjukdom, diabeteskomplikationer och fetma. Även vid sjukdomsrelaterad undernäring kan patientens sociala och ekonomiska situation vara avgörande för huruvida nutritionsbehandlingen ska lyckas. Men vilken verklighet och vilken vardag döljer sig bakom dessa samband? Hur ska dietister förhålla sig till det faktum att andra faktorer förutom omtanke om egen hälsa kan ha avgörande betydelse för patientens förmåga att göra hälsobefrämjande val? Bör vi ta ställning till och diskutera dessa frågor även utanför det rent nutritionsmässiga perspektivet?

Masculinity and the sociality of cooking in men’s everyday lives
- 2017

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article explores how 31 Swedish men (22–88 years old) talk about the sociality of domestic cooking in everyday life. We demonstrate how domestic cooking – for oneself, for others and with others – is part of the understanding of contemporary Swedish men and how the expressed sociality of cooking is intertwined with accomplishments of masculinity. The sociality of cooking is not only about homosocial leisure but also a way for men to maintain heterosocial relationships and assume domestic responsibility. We discuss a potential cultural transition in men's domestic meal sociality and suggest the need for studies of gendered divisions of domestic work and the sociology of food to analyse how cooking shares similar properties to those of commensality, and the implications of this regarding gender relations.

Narratives of progress : Cooking and gender equality among Swedish men

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Feminist food studies have repeatedly identified a dichotomy of ‘masculine’ self-oriented cooking as leisure and ‘feminine’ other and care-oriented foodwork (meal planning, grocery shopping, cooking and cleaning up after meals). However, recent research suggests that there is a great deal of variety and contradiction in men’s accounts of their cooking practices. For example, men may find cooking a tedious and stressful responsibility and foodwork a fatherly duty. This article draws on interviews with 31 Swedish men from 22 to 88 years of age, and explores stories about cooking and foodwork as part of their everyday lives and their life transitions and how these relate to broader notions of food and gender equality. The data illuminating the men’s stories can be synthesised into two narratives of progress: a narrative of progress in gender equality in Sweden, where men’s participation in household labour has become taken for granted, and a narrative of culinary progress among Swedish men in general and among some of the interviewed men themselves. We agree with previous scholars who have argued for a reconsideration of the simplistic picture of men’s cooking as only being for the self and for leisure. We further show how the men express foodwork as a self-evident responsibility, regardless of whether the men find it fun or not, and that a desirable masculinity is represented by a man whose cooking skills have progressed beyond the survival level and who is more gender equal than what are perceived to be less-progressive men from previous generations and foreign cultural backgrounds.

On the sociality of meals : beyond commensality
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Togetherness and food.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- As with all concepts in social theory, commensality is based on a set of basic assumptions deriving from its intellectual origins. In this presentation, I outline what I find to be the basic assumptions of commensality as well as its origins and some different ways of understanding its social functions. Following this, I outline some contemporary studies that also mention cooking as a sociable activity in and of itself. I then discuss meal sociality in a broader sense, moving beyond commensality and suggesting a potential to remain focused on social functions of meals while not being limited to the act of eating.

What is a “true” vegetarian? :
- 2017
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this paper I reflect on a preliminary analysis of discussions in an online Q&A (Yahoo! Answers) about “true” ways of being a vegetarian. From the search term “why vegetarian” I sampled the first 100 threads that fitted my inclusion criteria, i.e., threads that clearly discussed vegetarianism in relation to food (most excluded threads were judged to be troll threads posted as provocations), corresponding to 198 webpages. From this sample, my focus was on a sub-sample of threads discussing the eating of (i) fish, (ii) eggs and (iii) meat substitutes (often referred to as “fake meat”). Based on my analysis, I discuss the boundary work performed by the participants and argue, in relation a rather comprehensive literature suggesting that vegetarianism is a highly ambiguous term, that the boundaries drawn up are in fact quite clear and expressed with certainty and sometimes even aggressively. The discussions thus reveal an interactive dynamic in which some participants assume the role of telling the others what being a vegetarian or a vegan truly entails, and why others are wrong.
