Digital Food @KingsCollegeLon
Zeena Feldman, former CCI PhD student, now Lecturer in Digital Media at Kings College London, co-organised a very successful event on Digital Food Cultures yesterday with Mike Goodman from the University of Reading. There were a raft of excellent papers, including ones on the ‘new patriarch’ Mark Zuckeberg’s use of food to convey cosmopolitan capitalism, meditating migrant dinners, the role of the digital in offline farmer’s markets, the biopolitics of cows on Instagram, and the ‘cosmic wellness’ industry sold online by GOOP. Jo Littler from CCI was happy to have been invited to make comments at the end of the event.
