Luftgummireifen sind allgegenwärtig, doch welche Rolle spielte Kautschuk in der Medizin und bei der Körperpflege? Als elastisches und undurchlässiges Material wurde Kautschuk durch die Entdeckung der Vulkanisation in den 1830er Jahren für medizinische und hygienische Anwendungen interessant. Samuel Eleazar Wendt beleuchtet die Aneignung dieses ursprünglich in Mittelamerika und am Amazonas genutzten Rohstoffs in Europa, wo er seit dem späten 18. Jahrhundert zunehmend in körperliche Praktiken integriert wurde. Dabei fokussiert er sich auf die Geschichte des Berliner Unternehmens C. Müller Gummiwaren AG (1875-1948), das entsprechende Artikel erstmals für den Massenmarkt produzierte.

This book straddles disciplines that are usually separated to provide an overview of how food both shapes and is shaped by interpersonal, psycho-social, socio-political and historical dynamics in South Africa. It courageously acknowledges and respects a very wide range of disciplinary and theoretical approaches to food in South Africa. Desiree Lewis, Professor, University of the Western Cape Food is never just food. This interdisciplinary volume examines the cultural politics of food in South Africa, revealing how nourishment is bound up with histories of colonialism, apartheid, migration and enduring inequality. Drawing on perspectives from media studies, sociology, history and cultural studies, the chapters explore how food functions as a site of identity, resistance, memory and aspiration. From Indigenous food systems and missionary food regimes to television, advertising and social media, the book traces how meanings around food are produced, contested and mediated. It considers the everyday and the symbolic, from home-cooked meals and community cookbooks to performances of culinary capital within foodie cultures. Through this diverse and critical lens, the volume argues that food in South Africa cannot be separated from the power structures and social dynamics that shape it. In doing so, it offers a vital counterpoint to dominant narratives from the Global North, contributing to a richer understanding of how food intersects with representation, access and cultural expression in the Global South.

The Cultural Politics of Food in South Africa

In eleven essays of inquiry from different scholarly traditions, the authors in Microutopias and Everyday Hope examine the potential that resides in utopian thinking on smaller scales. Basing their explorations in material ranging from music, TV-series, film, and literature to concrete sites, the reflections that result engage in a conversation that steers our attention to the details of aesthetics that are increasingly being drowned out in the polycrisis. However, our attention to detail in less spectacular venues and in the everyday is required if we are to imagine alternative futures differently, and better. Caught in late capitalism's relentless and dystopian march toward the abyss, any kind of future is predicated on utopian thinking in the present. The essay collection is therefore also an appeal to the crucial importance of the humanities as providing the glue that can withstand our contemporary's fragmentation. Ultimately, this collection highlights the crucial importance of the humanities in order to withstand and even move past the contemporary societal fragmentation being experienced globally.
