“…Building on prior research demonstrating the central role of food for parents of differing socioeconomic circumstances (DeVault 1991;Lindsay and Maher 2013;Bowen, Elliott, and Brenton 2014;Cairns and Johnston 2015), I show how food's symbolic value to parents is in part derived from their material circumstances and contributes to their provisioning strategies and adolescents' consumption.…”

Así pues, las exigencias derivadas de un modelo de feminidad postfeminista siguen vigentes en los medios (Budgeon 1995(Budgeon , 2015a(Budgeon , 2015bCairns y Johnston 2015).…”
