- Summary:
- The book refers to the kitchen as a living space (private, domestic, semi-public) that has many cultural and social connotations, presented on some chosen examples. The authors of particular texts discuss both modern ways of using the kitchen space, the ways it is arranged and equipped, a specification of kitchen designs from the perspective of established cultural and social patterns, the ways meals are arranged in mass catering institutions and aid institutions, as well as functioning of kitchen space in traditional rural culture, in urban working-class environment, in Middle Ages and in antiquity. The publication is addressed to cultural studies and social life researchers, interested in the kitchen space and related practices, not only the culinary ones. The texts contained in this work may also act as a source of knowledge and inspiration for people dealing with analysis of residential strategies, set in various historical contexts, and designing the space and the whole range of items used for kitchen purposes.
