当代欧洲消费者发现自己在与动物的关系方面处于一个有趣的历史时刻。一方面，人们对动物意识的认识有所增长，但另一方面，我们继续耕种、杀戮和食用动物，这一点在很大程度上没有减弱。在这篇文章中，我们争辩说，这些模棱两可的东西是在日常的准备、饮食和购物的具体实践中表现出来的。我们首先概述了一种新的食物消费行为的执行方法，我们称之为食物感应，我们争辩说，感觉食物的每一种行为都已经是对食物的感觉的行为。这一方法使我们能够审查食品消费做法的物质层面和象征层面之间的复杂相互作用。在整篇论文中，我们借鉴了食物感应的概念，并结合来自七个欧洲国家进行的48次焦点小组讨论的经验材料，以新的方式阐明农场动物是如何在食物消费实践中成为物质(而不是物质)的。
Contemporary European consumers find themselves at an interesting point in history with regards to their relationships with animals. On the one hand there has been a growth in the acknowledgement of animal sentience, yet on the other hand, largely unabated, we continue to farm, kill, and eat animals for food. In this paper we contend that these ambiguities are played out within everyday embodied practices of preparing, eating, and shopping for food. We begin our account by outlining a novel performative approach to food consumption practices, which we have termed 'foodsensing', and we contend that every act of sensing food is always already an act of making sense of food. This approach allows us to examine the complex interplay between material and symbolic dimensions of food consumption practices. Throughout the paper we draw on this notion of foodsensing, in conjunction with empirical material taken from forty-eight focus group discussions conducted across seven European countries, to shed new light on the ways in which farm animals are made to matter (and not matter) within food consumption practices.
