Description
Public health nutrition research is traditionally based on texted approaches. To understand complex interactions and mechanisms in foodscapes visual IT assisted methods can provide new and more rich insight into complex social phenomena such as cooking, serving and eating. This paper takes as a point of departure the challenges related to capturing insight in the broad category of foodscapestudies. Foodscape inspired studies in public health nutrition try to understand the interactions between food, people such as eaters and intermediaries and space with the intention to change reality and provide better opportunities for healthy lifestyle. The paper gives examples from AAU food research of the use of visual IT assisted methods and media ethnographic methods such as photo elicited methods, foodscape walkabouts, go along methods, perspective and cultural probes. Such new methods offers researchers new opportunities for getting a deeper and richer insight into complex fields of reality that food and eating represent.| Period | 27 Oct 2017 |
