Imagined foodways: social and spatial representations of an Inuit food system in transition
International audience In this study, we examined the social and spatial representations the Nunavimmiut have of their contemporary foodways. Based on Anderson's concept of 'imagined communities' [1991.Imagined communities: Reflections on the origin and spread of nationalism(Rev. ed.)...
