“…The initial search was very large: we first aimed at placing the family meals in the broad context of family food consumption. We identified the major and most recent publications in the sociology and anthropology of food [12,[21][22][23][24][25][26]. This enabled us to identify previous publications on the topic of family food practices in general and family meals in particular.…”

“…This disregards the possibility that eating together can have a variation of meanings for people, depending on their gender, age, employment status, social class and culture. Public health dietary guidelines can be interpreted differently according to socio-economic positions [21,26,61]. Depending on different social positions and stages of life, the link between food practices and preventive health are not necessarily adopted or perhaps even known [26,62].…”

“…An exploration into family meals must inevitably include a discussion about gender inequalities. Women have been reported to continue to do the majority of food work in many countries, such as in France [21], Australia [85], Nordic countries [86,87], Canada [67,88] and in the United States [46,89]. The disproportionate division of work is partly based on implicit gender norms that structure family life.…”

“…Women are expected to maintain the health and wellbeing of family members as part of the accomplishment of motherhood, as a means of developing moral identities as good mothers [84,87,88,90]. They are also expected to carry the mental load of food work and implement healthy diets as an expression of femininity, which has been observed in Australia as well as in France [21,90]. Mothers' role about food at home is also often connected to family cohesion and conviviality [16].…”

There exists a normative representation of family meals in contemporary Western societies which is promoted as imperative through public health programs, larger discourses and by some studies in the nutritional and public health research fields. Family meals, also called domestic commensality, are represented as convivial events and are associated with positive health and wellbeing outcomes but there is minimal evidence to show they are beneficial for family members and it is not known which aspect of the family meal could be responsible for these alleged benefits. This normative family meal image is based on a representation of the family as a peaceful unit exempt from external constraints. This narrative literature review of qualitative studies of family meals seeks to put forward the underlying premises of this representation and compare it with reports about actual practices. The results emphasize that eating together is still practiced and remains valued by family members, which is in contrast to discourses lamenting the decline of the family meal. However, the valorisation and recurrence of family meals depends on class, gender and cultural positions. There is a gap between the norm of healthy or convivial and achievable family meals, which can reinforce the so-called “mental load” and “emotion work” of those in charge of feeding the family and heighten inequalities within the household. In fact, there are many challenges to family meals which originate from external constraints or are inherent aspects of family life. The results from this review suggest that we should focus on family meals by taking into account the food work surrounding it and focussing on the interactional aspects of family meals. Ethnographic methods allow the researcher to observe the diversities and complexities of commensality as well as family dynamics and, in doing so, could provide more realistic representations of eating within the family.

“…Pour J.-P. Poulain (2017), les crises des années 1990 et la crise de l'ESB ont accru la légitimité de l'alimentation dans les sciences sociales. L'articulation entre les recherches sur les consommateurs, leurs attentes et leurs pratiques, et l'enjeu sanitaire s'est opérée principalement autour des politiques nutritionnelles, en particulier par l'intermédiaire des questions d'étiquetage et de labels (Cardon, Depecker et Plessz, 2019). L'information du consommateur compte en effet parmi les techniques de gouvernement des industries agroalimentaires.…”

The Construction of Coffee Qualities: Geo-economics Crossroads between China and Vietnam

This paper undertakes a comparative study of two rural mountainous areas participating in global agricultural markets while using, as an interpretative grid, the development of the quality of the products and spaces. We draw on contemporary analysis at the interface of food and agriculture systems through the example of coffee cultivation and consumption in two neighbouring countries: China and Vietnam. The purpose is to understand why these two provinces with similar historical dynamics have two radically different productions of coffee. While China produces Arabica coffee in limited volumes, Vietnam has over the past few decades become the world's second largest producer of Robusta coffee in response to the growing appetite for coffee in Asia. This paper adopts a multidimensional analysis of the quality of coffee based on the cultivation of the plant, the collective construction of quality, and the consumption of the beverage.
