The Relationship

Following JTH’s editorial calling for a deeper consideration of the movement of people and things, we propose a more integrated and spread-out consideration of the relationship between food and mobility. Our aim is to bring together two consolidated fields of study – food studies and mobilities studies – in the interest of expanding the focus and subject of history of things in motion. A focus on food helps bring to the fore questions of the social construction of non-human mobility, the socio-technological systems for the circulation of foods, and the mutual affectations between transport and what is transported. It also allows for new understandings of the materialities of power relations, everyday life, networks, scale and temporality, and place-making.
