Collapse Volume VII: Culinary Materialism is a 600?plus?page philosophical anthology that treats cookery as a site of material, cultural, scientific, and even cosmic inquiry. Rather than approaching food through the usual lenses of gastronomy, food culture, or culinary trends, the volume asks a more radical question: What is the nature of the culinary itself?
The editors and contributors explore cookery as a material practice of synthesis, transformation, and experimentation, drawing on disciplines as wide-ranging as:
- Anthropology
- Chemistry
- Hermetic alchemy
- Contemporary mathematics
- Physiology
- Industrial and cultural history
- Art and architecture (including Gordon Matta?Clark).
