Authors : Abed Mahdia .
Abstract
Our article addresses food as a social phenomenon with cultural, material, and symbolic dimensions. Its necessity extends beyond the biological aspect, carrying meanings that affirm it as a social product and a cultural construct. Food represents one of the characteristics of society that undergoes change across various dimensions. The changes explored in our study pertain to culinary habits, including the preparation of dishes and their connection to traditional heritage on one hand, and modern trends and development on the other. Additionally, we examine shifts in meal times, dining etiquette, and the act of sharing meals, all of which are influenced by contemporary lifestyles shaped by the practices of modernization. Finally, we explore the evolving role of food as a communicative system that strengthens, repairs, and shapes social relationships.
