Language of food politics; Italian food market
New research on how society works. Laurie Taylor hears about an ethnography of Porto Palazzo in Italy, one of Europe's largest outdoor markets. Plus, the language of food politics.
An Italian food market - Rachel Black talks to Laurie Taylor about her ethnographic account of Porto Palazzo, one of Europe's largest outdoor markets. She watched and spoke to its vendors, shoppers and passers-by to find out how a multi-ethnic market fosters a culinary culture and social life. Professor Sophie Watson is currently studying street markets and joins the discussion.
Also, Guy Cook analyses the language of food and food politics; from baby food labels to organic marketing. How our choices and beliefs about what we eat are influenced by the persuasive power of words.
Producer: Jayne Egerton.
