Meatpaper
Meatpaper was a quarterly print magazine dedicated to the art and culture of meat. Launched in 2007, it explored the ethical, aesthetic, and cultural dimensions of meat and meat consumption through a diverse range of perspectives, including essays, art, and photography. The publication aimed to provide a platform for discourse on the complexities surrounding meat, including its production, consumption, and representation in society. Meatpaper ceased publication in 2013, but it remains a significant reference for those interested in the intersection of food culture and contemporary issues.
Overview[edit | edit source]
Meatpaper focused on meat in all its forms and implications, from traditional culinary practices to contemporary art installations featuring meat or meat themes. It was not a magazine about meat as a culinary ingredient alone but rather an exploration of meat's role in human culture, politics, and society. The magazine attracted contributions from writers, artists, chefs, and thinkers, making it a multidisciplinary publication that crossed the boundaries between a food magazine and a cultural studies journal.
Content and Themes[edit | edit source]
The content of Meatpaper varied widely, covering topics such as the history of meat consumption, butchery as an art form, the politics of meat production, and the ethical considerations of eating meat. It also delved into more niche subjects like the representation of meat in art and literature, the cultural significance of specific meat dishes in different societies, and the future of meat, including lab-grown meat and vegetarianism/veganism as ethical or environmental choices.
Impact and Legacy[edit | edit source]
Although Meatpaper ceased publication, its impact on the discourse around meat and culture continues. It was among the first publications to approach the subject of meat from a multidisciplinary perspective, making it a pioneer in the field of food studies. Meatpaper's legacy lies in its contribution to broadening the conversation around meat, encouraging readers to think critically about their food choices and the cultural meanings attached to them.
