Abstract

L’articolo esplora i foodscape vegani nella città di Torino, analizzando le relazioni tra identità vegane, pratiche alimentari e spazio. Dalla ricerca emergono diverse configurazioni di foodscape, da quelli di resistenza al sistema alimentare dominante a quelli pienamente integrati nella grande distribuzione, con forme ibride intermedie. L’analisi evidenzia come gli spazi del cibo influenzino il mantenimento delle pratiche vegane e come queste, a loro volta, ridefiniscano i paesaggi alimentari urbani.
