About the Book

This book offers the first methodological synthesis of digital food studies. It brings together contributions from leading scholars in food and media studies and explores research methods from textual analysis to digital ethnography and action research. In recent times, digital media has transformed our relationship with food which has become one of the central topics in digital and social media. This spatiotemporal shift in food cultures has led us to reimagine how we engage in different practices related to food as consumers. The book examines the opportunities and challenges that the new digital era of food studies presents and what methodologies are employed to study the changed dynamics in this field. These methodologies provide insights into how restaurant reviews, celebrity webpages, the blogosphere and YouTube are explored, as well as how to analyse digital archives, digital soundscapes and digital food activism and a series of approaches to digital ethnography in food studies. The book presents straightforward ideas and suggestions for how to get started on one’s own research in the field through well-structured chapters that include several pedagogical features. Written in an accessible style, the book will serve as a vital point of reference for both experienced researchers and beginners in the digital food studies field, health studies, leisure studies, anthropology, sociology, food sciences, and media and communication studies.

Review :
"We all know that food has moved online, but how do we study the virtual world of comestibles? This compelling book filles the gap. Research Methods in Digital Food Studies provides thoughtful ideas for how to work with digital food data, including everything from champagne bubbles and online calorie counting to restaurant reviews and YouTube cooking shows. The contributors guide us through a wide array of mediums, platforms and methodological approaches. This book will inspire exciting research incorporating food blogs, hashtags, and food celebrities into our understanding of food and social change." - Josée Johnston, Professor of Sociology, University of Toronto, Canada "This book is a must-read for researchers and students of food in social sciences, humanities and nutritional science! Acknowledging the increased normalization of the digitalization of all aspects of food in society, this anthology presents an excellent collection of concrete methodological 'tricks-of-the-trade' chapters from researchers involved in empirical digital food studies. A contribution which is much needed in the field of food research in general. The collection spans a broad variety of methods approaches and food themes, making it a relevant and interesting read for many food researchers." - Bente Halkier, Professor, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
