Abstract

Introduction: Food and nutrition, whether before or after consumption, play a role of utmost importance in forming and maintaining cultural characteristics of humans. Economic, cultural, and social factors and conditions could affect the access and control of food products as well as meeting various tastes in this regard. Similar to signs, food and the manner of its consumption could reflect cultural implications about humans. Alongside the aforementioned components, Gender and Power are also considered social factors which influence populations’ foodways, i. e. the types of production, distribution, and consumption of food products. Food and the manner of consumption demonstrate one’ s economic and cultural capitals; albeit they are also linked to the human physique along with cultural significance and implications on another level. As a sociocultural consideration of the human physique, Gender is represented within the Food System in various ways, exploiting food related capacities to show a cultural reflection of Genders in such depictions. As a result, food alongside its significance and implications are constantly present and influential in the modern cultural world. As a general description, the present study seeks to provide answers to the following main questions with focus on the notions of Power and Gender involved within the Food System: first, how do various components of Power and Gender influence the role of nomadic men and women, regarding the local Food System of Lak Nomads who live in Lorestan province, Iran, in various stages of food production, provision, and consumption? And second, what are the differences and diversities between men and women’ s Power with respect to controlling, providing, and consuming food products?..
