Abstract:

In Elite Authenticity, Gwynne Mapes integrates theories of mediatization,
materiality, and authenticity in order to explore the discursive production of
elite status and class inequality in food discourse. Relying on a range of
methodological approaches, Mapes examines restaurant reviews and articles
published in the New York Times food section; a collection of Instagram posts
from @nytfood; ethnographically-informed fieldwork in four renowned Brooklyn,
NY, restaurants; and a recorded dinner conversation with six food-enthusiasts.
Across these varied genres of data, she demonstrates how a discourse of "elite
authenticity" represents a particular surfacing of rhetorical maneuvers in
which distinction is orchestrated, avowed/disavowed, and circulated.

Elite Authenticity takes a multimodal critical discourse analysis approach,
drawing on theories from linguistics, food and cultural studies, anthropology,
sociology, and philosophy. Its presentation and analysis of aural, visual,
spatial, material, and embodied discourse will be of interest to scholars and
students of communication studies, critical discourse studies,
sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, and cultural geography.
