Abstract

This proposal for a Research Internship Abroad (BEPE), scheduled to be held during a six-month period at Kyoto University, outlines plans to study the practices of Alternative Food Networks (AFNs) in Japan. It focuses on experiences that gave rise to Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), such as the Teikei initiatives, born in the late1960s, and the Choku-bai-jo (CBJ), which is a type of Japanese Farmers Market. Given the importance of Japan in the emergence of such initiatives, and in a context of high permeability with global market policies, it seeks to deepen reflections on the specific features of some AFNs through the rural-urban dialectic and its determinations. This will allow for the identification of transformations in food production and in the production of urban space as two correlative and coexistent movements, making it possible to reconceive the role of consumption and of active territorialities. Taking into account the technical, symbolic and organizational dimensions of these relationships will allow for the development of new analytical approaches to the study of food, citizenship and the transformation of urban space.
