The Bloomsbury Handbook of Food and Material Cultures
Bibliographic record
Abstract
<JATS1:p>In this ground breaking book, leading scholars and professionals apply a material cultural perspective to consider two relatively unexplored questions: 1) What is the material culture of food? and 2) How are frameworks, concepts, and methods of material culture used in scholarly research and professional practice?</JATS1:p> <JATS1:p>The book includes contributions from and interviews with a dynamic group of scholars, and museum and information professionals who represent diverse disciplines including communication studies, anthropology, history, American studies, folklore and food studies, and areas of practice, specifically interpretation, exhibition development, archives, and ethnographies. With contributors spanning South Africa, Singapore, Greece, Canada, Mexico, and the USA and historical coverage from the 19th through to the 21st century, this volume acknowledges that materiality is historically and culturally specific, as food both transcends and collapses geographical and ideological borders. The contributions capture the malleability of food, its material environments and “stuff”, and its representations in media, museums, and marketing, while following food through cycles of production, circulation, and consumption. As many of the authors explore, food and its many material and immaterial manifestations not only reflect social issues, but actively produce, preserve, and disrupt identities, communities, economic systems, and everyday social practices.</JATS1:p>

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
