ABSTRACT
This chapter sets a framework for understanding the place of sensation, emotion, reasoning, and cognition in the mutual and collective making of and dwelling in landscapes. Taste, in both its gustatory/sensory meaning and its psychosocial and cultural dimensions, is examined, as are foodways and their role in building, growing, dwelling, and making. Foodways are presented as fundamental to an understanding of the political, cultural, and affective construction of everyday life and landscape. Finally, the developing field of practice theory is presented as a valuable arena in which to study these complex interactions.
