A Taste of Progress

Exploring the role of food at world exhibitions, this volume highlights its significance as a semiotic device that conveys identity, history, and societal values. While architecture has been extensively analyzed, the culinary aspect remains underexplored. The book integrates contemporary food studies with the historical context of international exhibitions, offering a unique perspective on how food shapes national and corporate identities, as well as concepts of inclusion and exclusion at these cultural events.
