The article investigates food fears in the context of the everyday food practices of customers of farmers’ markets in Małopolska Voivodeship, Poland. The qualitative analysis of 15 individual in-depth interviews mostly concerns topics of negative evaluation and narratives justifying the exclusion of specific products, food practices and institutions of the food chain. In particular, the study focuses on ways of defining food fears, such as chemicals in food, processed food, suspicious appearance and freshness of products and concerns associated with the place of purchase. An in-depth analysis of these topics reveals broader criticism of the food system within the narratives of the research subjects. This concerns redefinitions of relations between economic order and social institutions, removing particular cultural meaning from it, fragmentation and distancing of the production process from consumption, a lack of transparency in the food chain, and the associated ignorance. The diagnosis resulting from the interviews is expressed as food fears: it has ramifications connected to the engagement and practices of avoidance or minimisation of food threats and strategies of resistance. The analysis employs Mary Douglas’s structuralist theory of defining through negation and Peter Jackson’s food anxieties theory, as well as concepts of ignorance, distrust and social embeddedness of economic practices.

Celem artykułu jest analiza sposobu definiowana żywności naturalnej przez klientów targów świeżej żywności. Postawione w nim tezy opierają się na piętnastu indywidualnych wywiadach pogłębionych, przeprowadzonych z klientami targów w Krakowie i mniejszych miejscowościach Małopolski. W trakcie analizy zastosowane zostało podejście relacyjne i założenia teorii Aktora Sieci. Perspektywa ta pozwala uchwycić specyfikę społecznej kategorii naturalności jedzenia. Żywność jest tu rozumiana jako wytwór czynników ludzkich i pozaludzkich, socjonatura, efekt koprodukcji. Artykuł rozwija również wątek związany z kryteriami i legitymizacją wyborów konsumpcyjnych w obszarze żywności oraz znaczeniem kompetencji i kapitału społecznego podczas zakupów. Ukazany jest w nim związek kategorii naturalności z kategoriami zaufania, bezpieczeństwa, czystości, brudu i „chemii”. W interpretacji uwzględniony został kontekst społeczno-gospodarczy, między innymi osobiste doświadczenie produkcji żywności czy sceptycyzm wobec marek ekologicznych.

The objective of the article is to analyse the way in which customers of fresh food markets define natural food. The arguments made are based on 15 individual in-depth interviews conducted with customers of markets in Krakow and smaller towns in the Małopolska region. A relational approach and the premises of Actor-Network Theory were applied during the analysis, permitting the specific nature of the social category of naturalness of food to be identified. Food here is understood as a product of human and non-human factors, socionature, and the effect of coproduction. The article also develops the theme of the criteria and legitimation of consumer choices in the area of food and the importance of competences and social capital during shopping. It illustrates the link between the category of naturalness and those of trust, safety, cleanness, dirtiness and “chemicals”. Taken into account in the interpretation was the socio-economic context, including personal experience of food production and scepticism towards “eco” brands.

The implementation of school meal reform in Poland in 2015 has been withdrawn in because of vast social resistance. The analyses of press discourse in daily newspapers reveals how the critics and resistance has been shaped. The use of content analysis and critical discourse analysis helps to identify how power relations and ideologies connected to the anti-junk-food law has been contested and redefined. The changes were manifested by abandoning healthist framing in favour of construction of new discursive worlds. In the discourse of resistance, cultural food symbols such as hunger and satiety, the ceremonial nature and pleasure of eating, economic freedom and consumer freedom were employed, and the status of taste in consumption among children was highlighted. Historical and cultural context has given the basis for such redefining and provided cultural meanings for undermining expert narrative, which has been reform’s rationale and hegemonising frame.

The first part of this article deals with the characteristics of scientific discovery from an anthropological point of view, in other words taking into account the fact that the world is full of a variety of alternative axiological orders (more than some humanitarians universalists would like). The second part discusses the “tendencies” of scholars (spokesmen and champions of “world demistification”) to shape (on a global scale) human thinking and action that conforms to the rules of scientific outlook and the picture of reality. One can say that the article is devoted to the permanent “tendency” of scholars to view the world as a state of affairs which cannot be coherent because an Instauratio Magna is indispensable. That means that scholars willingly appear in the role of world explorers and designers of a utopia for the entire world.

PL

Część pierwsza artykułu poświęcona jest zagadnieniu osobliwości poznania naukowego w aspekcie perspektywy antropologicznej, czyli z uwzględnieniem tego, że świat międzyludzki wypełniony jest wielością rozmaitych (częściej niżby życzyli sobie humaniści-uniwersaliści), wzajem alternatywnych ładów aksjologicznych. W części drugiej mowa jest o „skłonnościach” uczonych (rzeczników i szermierzy „odczarowywania świata”) do ukształtowania (w skali globalnej) myślenia i działania ludzi w sposób odpowiadający regułom naukowego oglądu i obrazowania rzeczywistości.

The papers in this volume illustrate how using resources from the past can be a response to the threats of what is seen as external influence. Food uncertainty often concerns the global economy, the capitalist system, the transforming production and distribution system, new technologies, selling and marketing methods, etc. Therefore, the lack of trust is directed not only toward cultural dynamics of late modernity, but also toward domination of the Western centre of the food system. The resistance embedded in food fears has not only temporal, but also spatial and political dimensions. Openly expressed food fears as well as informal, bottom-up alternative-seeking in certain contexts can be then interpreted as indirect criticismof the transformations the Polish economy and culture have been undergoing.
