  This article examines conflicting conceptualizations of the human subject in political ecology and geography: Foucauldian views of “subject-making” and Gramscian views of “the person”. While Foucauldian work holds that the more complete exertion of power, the more coherent subject-making, Gramscian historical–geographical perspectives counter that, the more complete exertion of power, the more incoherent persons and their class-based collectivities. Outlining incongruities between these approaches, I argue that the “dark side” of Gramscian political ecology—with its emphasis on incoherence and fracture–allows geographers new nuance in understanding the human subject, although not without challenges to the actual writing of such scholarship.

  The rapidly escalating production and consumption of meat across the world has drawn much attention in recent years. While mainstream accounts tend to see the phenomenon as driven by ‘natural’ processes of consumption pattern change through economic development, critical geographies have turned to exploring the uneven capitalist processes underpinning what Tony Weis calls ‘meatification’. In Weis’ view, meatification unfolds through what he calls ‘the industrial grain-oilseed-livestock complex’, which is presently becoming a dominant form of agricultural production worldwide. Simultaneously, but less thoroughly investigated in the emerging scholarship, meatification unfolds in and through everyday geographies of consumption that we conceptualize as variegated ‘meatscapes’. By bringing together critical geographers’ interest in the political economy of meat with practice theory and consumption research, this contribution furthers the geographical dialogue around the spatial transformations brought about by meatification. Looking at Vietnam and China as examples of rapidly meatifying countries, we explore the intersection of macro-scale spatial transformations through trade and commodity flows and, at the micro-scale, transformations in food practices. We thus argue for an approach to meatification that is multi-scalar and conducive to further regionally specific research of meatification in Asia and beyond.

  The ‘meatification’ of human diets has been subject to increasing scholarly attention in recent years, along with its many impacts. While the rapidly expanding meatification in many Asian countries has been noted, the geographies of these processes have been left largely unexplored. This paper maps the changing geographies of meat with special focus on Southeast Asia. We use Tony Weis’ concept of ‘the industrial grain-oilseed-livestock complex’ to analyse how forms of systemic meatification are taking place in Asia. We map and analyse regional trends in meat production and consumption, as well as trade patterns in meat products and dominant feed crops. We argue that the regional meat complex emerges through increasingly regional development processes and capital, as well as through new South-South connections. The geographies of meatification in Southeast Asia thus constitute an empirical manifestation of the emerging multipolarity of the global food regime.

  This article-based thesis brings India into ongoing debates surrounding food regime analysis. Examining India’s integration in the contemporary food regime across scales from the regional, through the national to the local, the thesis aims at critically advancing the approach of food regime analysis and, simultaneously, our understanding of agrarian change in India. A key finding in this thesis is that India’s integration in the contemporary food regime is characterised by uneven tendencies. Partial, gradual and incomplete integration is evidenced throughout the thesis, leading to the central argument that corporate food regime dynamics are emerging in India today amidst struggle and contentions where the agency of the state is crucial and where patterns of accumulation are interwoven with nature. Drawing on analytics in the tradition of Antonio Gramsci, the thesis takes steps towards a conjunctural food regime analysis that is attentive to historical-geographical specificities, while seeking to avoid pitfalls of ‘global’ orientation and ‘capital-logic’. The first three articles are ‘desk studies’ focusing on regional and national scales. The first, co-authored, article locates India in the Asian region in relation to the formation of the increasingly polycentric contemporary food regime, looking specifically at the role of an emerging ‘meat complex’. The second article zooms in on the national scale and interrogates the role of the state and neoliberalisation in the contemporary food regime in view of contestations over recent right-to-food legislation in India. The third article explores popular mobilisation against food regime crises through an inquiry into rural India’s ongoing agrarian crisis. The fourth and final article is based on fieldwork and descends to the local village scale to explore how crops and regions are integrated in the contemporary food regime by tracing booming maize cultivation in rural Karnataka.
