"Being in the oven, the mill and the fields": the political making of bread. Stories and trajectories of peasant-bakers under the supervision of Helene Guetat - bernard and Pascale Moity-maizi

Thesis project

The aim of this thesis is to explore new ways of "thinking" about bread; in particular, the individual and collective commitments involved in making this foodstuff, and the ways in which these acts translate into gestures and knowledge. The aim of this work is to study how this profession plays a part in the re-articulation of town and country, in other words, in creating links with the land and between farmers/bakers/consumers.
