ANTRHOPOLOGICAL RESEARCH ON FOOD: POSSIBLITIES AND LIMITATIONS
Abstract
Feeding is a primary necessity, but food has not only a physiological or psychic function, but also a social and cultural one. The complexity of the alimentary act has awaked the interest of a number of disciplines, that study it from different perspectives and interests. But only the articulation of biology, ecology and culture could explain the multifarious faces of the human alimentation and its evolution, and it also could avoid biological, economic or social determinism. Because of this reason, interdisciplinarity appears to be necessary but difficult, and today it seems to be more a proposal than a fertile reality.
