Abstract

Food is not only a substance for survival and nourishment, but is also part of a sign system as it is strictly involved in processes of signification and interpretation. Building on this premise, the chapter offers an introduction to the semiotics of food, reflecting on the links existing among the signs, texts, discourses, and practices concerning the food universe.
