Digesting Food Studies—Episode 113: Eating and Social Isolation
https://rss.com/podcasts/digesting-food-studies/2422624/

Do you eat alone, or with others? Is it by choice, or are your commensality options dictated by your social condition, your domestic situation, your access to shared space? https://doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v4i2.220

Eating is both a unifier and divider in our food cultures, and the spaces in which we do it can both support connection-making and reinforce isolation. This episode focuses on an audio artwork by Mélanie Binette—a sound installation in a Montréal community restaurant called “Invité.e.s Invisible.s”—intended to help solo eaters connect.

Plus, Alexia Moyer shares two other soundscapes and their implications for sociability, while Samphe Ballamingie responds poetically to Mélanie’s artistic intervention.

Il est temps de bannir Airbnb, selon des groupes en logement

Une soixantaine de groupes de défense de locataires du pays ont fait une sortie publique mercredi pour exiger davantage d’actions des élus face à la crise du logement. Une majorité d’entre eux sont en faveur du bannissement pur et simple de la plateforme Airbnb, ou de règlementations plus strictes pour encadrer celle-ci.
