JOHN, Eileen. Meals, Art and Meaning. Crítica (Méx., D.F.) [online]. 2021, vol.53, n.157, pp.45-70.  Epub 31-Jan-2022. ISSN 0011-1503.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iifs.18704905e.2021.1245.

This paper takes meals, rather than food itself, as its focus. Meals incorporate the project of nutrition into human life, but it is a contingent matter that we nourish ourselves in this way. This paper defends the importance of meals as meaning-makers and contrasts them with art in that regard. Meals and art represent interestingly different extremes with respect to how needs for meaning are met. Artworks ask for coordination of experience, understanding and appreciation: the meaning of art is to be experienced. The meaning of meals is enacted and accumulates collectively, but need not be experienced.
