In this book, Vânia Carneiro de Carvalho overcomes the inconvenient separation between material and non-material culture, based on the assumption of the existence of a symbiosis between objects and the formation of social identities, according to genders. It develops a history of culture and social life with the introduction of material problems, bringing to light the dynamics of everyday life: the relationship of the human with spaces and objects. The author speaks specifically of the organization of the domestic space and system, in a period marked by radical transformations in the city of São Paulo, and studies, with emphasis on the body and corporality, aspects related to the female gender, such as environments, domestic work, desires and symbolic gratifications. The result of extensive research based on material, visual and textual sources, this is a model of study on material culture that allows the understanding of gender culture.

A presente obra reúne estudos de especialistas de diferentes áreas do conhecimento que se dedicaram a refletir sobre fenómenos alimentares a partir de dois eixos de análise distintos, porém intercomunicantes: as culturas alimentares e o culto dos alimentos. Esses eixos organizam a obra do ponto de vista formal e conceptual, pois revelam o paradoxo expresso pelas culturas alimentares enquanto forças vivas, mas invisíveis participadoras da construção da cultura (volume I), e, ao mesmo tempo, pelo destaque de alguns alimentos enquanto objetos de formas diversas de culto, que emergem da invisibilidade, para se destacarem enquanto signos dos discursos e das práticas culturais humanas – religiosa, ética, artística, gastronómica e medicinal (volume II). A riqueza de temáticas que atravessam tempos e espaços variados e de abordagens multi- e transdisciplinares fazem da obra mais um contributo importante para a área dos Estudos da Alimentação e das Humanidades, em geral.
