An Aesthetical and Metaphysical Perspective of the Gastronomic Experience, from the work of Junichiro Tanizaki and the Notions of Utopia and Heterotopia. Rev. filos. Univ. Iberoam.

This text analyzes thegastronomic motives in the work of Japanese writer Junichiro Tanizaki, in order to discuss their aesthetic and metaphysical implications. In order to do so, we offer a brief semblance of the author and raise the problem on how to interpret his texts, in stark contrast to Western philosophical hermeneutics and in relation with a philosophical digression on Paul Ricœur’s and Michel Foucault’s notions of utopia and heterotopia.
