Abstract

This paper gives an overview of the relevant research in the fields of cultural anthropology, ethnology, sociology and history of food that had an impact on the development of food studies, a platform that brings together research in food culture from the viewpoint of a variety of scholarly disciplines and subdisciplines. The paper also highlights the growing impossibility of writing about food from a single disciplinary perspective, thus underlining the need for interdisciplinary research of food in different contexts.

Keywords
