| Annotation | The relationships between ageing, loneliness and and food are considered. The author's analytical and methodological proposal aims to understand the experience of loneliness encountered by people aged 65+ living in Barcelona, through the description and analysis of food and its practice, that is, all those aspects directly or indirectly related to food practice. Though the analysis is focused on food, the social rather than the nutritional dimensions of food behaviour are stressed. Thus, the point of departure is the organic relationship established between food, society and culture. (RH). |
