Kish, Zenia, and Emily J. H. Contois, 'Introduction: From Seed to Feed: How Food Instagram Changed What and Why We Eat', in Emily J.H. Contois, and Zenia Kish (eds), Food Instagram: Identity, Influence, and Negotiation (Champaign, IL , 2022; online edn, Illinois Scholarship Online, 19 Jan. 2023), https://doi.org/10.5622/illinois/9780252044465.003.0001, accessed 9 May 2025.
Abstract
This introductory chapter previews and synthesizes the work of the volume’s twenty-four contributors, whose seventeen chapters engage the book’s key themes: identity, influence, and negotiation. The chapter situates the study of food Instagram within the history of visual representation and photography, the concept of food porn, and the platform’s specific affordances, architecture, and style. Then, in an effort to demonstrate the interdisciplinary possibilities at the juncture of media studies and food studies, the chapter dives into Instagram’s visual ecosystem, systematically analyzing it from soil and seed to our digital feed, and beyond.
