Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyze women’s experiences of household food production, distribution and consumption as a response to the difficulties and challenges of daily life. The adopted perspective integrates research from food studies, historical sociology, and gender studies. The author’s intention is to discuss the multifaceted, gendered nature of food practices, highlighting their transformations, and modes of continuation. References to the analysis of alternative food networks draw attention to both contemporary and post-WWII food practices and introduce to the discussion concepts which remain important for contemporary society, e.g. community and sustainable solutions. This analysis is based on a review of literature, particularly oral histories and autobiographical accounts by both urban and rural women, and references various documented food-related activities. As demonstrated in the article, presentation of women’s food-related stories involves exploring alternatives to the scarcity economy of state socialism and contemporary anonymous mass production. These alternatives, embedded in the space of the kitchen, the farm field, or the allotment garden, are more than just coping strategies – they appeal to such values and ethical norms as mutual assistance, trust, and reciprocity. They can be interpreted through the lens of creativity and resourcefulness, as well as in terms of power relations and resistance in the context of everyday crises.

危机时期的食物故事和日常生活。妇女在粮食生产、分配和消费方面的经验
本文的目的是分析妇女在家庭粮食生产、分配和消费方面的经验,以应对日常生活中的困难和挑战。所采用的观点整合了食品研究、历史社会学和性别研究的研究。作者的意图是讨论多方面的,性别性质的食物做法,突出他们的转变,和模式的延续。参考对替代食物网络的分析,引起人们对当代和二战后食物实践的关注,并引入对当代社会仍然重要的讨论概念,例如社区和可持续解决方案。这一分析是基于对文献的回顾,特别是对口述历史和城乡妇女自传体叙述的回顾,并参考了各种有记录的与粮食有关的活动。正如文章中所展示的那样,女性食物相关故事的呈现涉及探索国家社会主义稀缺经济和当代匿名大规模生产的替代方案。这些被嵌入厨房、农田或菜园的替代方案,不仅仅是应对策略——它们呼吁互助、信任和互惠等价值观和道德规范。他们可以通过创造力和机智的镜头来解释,也可以从日常危机背景下的权力关系和抵抗来解释。
