The mystery that is Subculture.
Before subculture can be dened we need to know what culture is.Cultureis that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law,customs and other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member ofthe society. Few concepts that came up.
Culture is simply the ensemble of stories we tell ourselves about ourselves.For some culture exists only in the mind
Cultural studies does not have a clearly dened subject area. It takeswhatever it needs from any discipline and adopts it to suit its own purposedrwaing from Anthropology, psychology, Linguistics, Literary Criticism, ArtTheory, Philosophy, Political Science.
The way we dress, what we eat and how we socialize also communicate
things about ourselves, and thus can be studied as signs
-Roland Barthes
P R O J E C T 1S U B C U L T U R E
A distinct cultural group that exists as an identiable segment within
a larger, more complex society is known as Subculture. Subcultural
Studies is essentially the study of a group of people or certain prac-
tices within a culture which differentiates them from the larger culture
to which they belong.

Project Description
To study food subcultures and to understand howfood is used to create identity. These meaningsare to be explored within the broader context ofsubcultural experience in an investigation of thedynamics of underlying consumer behaviour.
To investigate contemporary food consumptionbehaviour within a postmodern community. Foodas both a biological and cultural phenomenon.
Methodologies for Research, Direction of
Study and Target Audience :
To understand how the market is segmentedusing subcultures.
Ethnographic exploration of food consumptionamong the Indians. Subcultural trends in foodand how they transform into popular culture.Some of these trends are raw foodism, vegandiet, road side vendors, junkfood, organic food.
To study the role of supermarkets.
To analyse the collected information and tocome up with possible outcomes.
Currently will look into a wider audience
applicability but eventually during the course ofthe project the target will be dened. The targetis most likely to be youth centric.
The outcome could have an illustrativeapproach.

Food & Sustenance
Food is enormously important, rst of all, as sustenance.
Symbolic Representation
Social groups characteristically employ food to draw lines, conrm statusesand separate those who do and do not belong.
Taken for Granted
Because we must eat regularly and often, simply to stay alive, the veryeverydayness of food reduces its symbolic weight.
Food Is Subject To Change
People are both intensely conservative in their food habits yet startlinglyopen to change even rapid change
H O W D O E S F O O D H E L P I N D E F I N I N G C U L T U R E / S U B C U L T U R E / I D E N T I T Y .
With the emergence of modern society, food has been transformed
from a substance that ts a certain ritual, atmosphere, or occasions
into a substance that epitomizes that which it is supposed to accom-
pany, is apposite-Roland Barthes
He noted that this transformation of food makes sense especially un-
der conditions of afuence.

When human beings convert some part of their environment into food, they createa peculiarly poweful semiotic device code subltle cosmological propositions. Withthe elaboration of cuisine and its sociological economic context, the capacity offood to bear social messages is increased.As many anthropologists have shown,food, in its varied guises, contexts and functions, can signal rank and rivalry,solidarity and community, identity or exclusion and intimacy or distance.

Anthropologists, folklorists, sociologists,historians, and food scholars often use theterm foodways to describe the study of whywe eat what we eat and what it means. Theterm, therefore, looks at food consumption ona deeper than concrete level and is inclusive
of yet goes beyond sustenance, recipesand/or taste. Topics like social inclusion andexclusion, power, and sense making areexplored under the umbrella term foodways.Further, the ways in which food shapes and isshaped by social organization are essential toexamination of foodways. Since consumptionof food is socially constructed, cultural studyis also incorporated in the term. In socialscience foodways are the cultural, social andeconomic practices relating to the production
and consumption of food.

Based on the feedback given by Shilpa Das Idened a set of keywords that give cues to theproject. Narrowing down to develop more depththan width. The narrowing process involvedusing keywords and relatively colour coding them
against the master keywords for the project byusing the TRIZ method.
TRIZ is the (Russian) acronym for the Theoryof Inventive Problem Solving.TRIZ is a problemsolving methodology based on logic, data andresearch, not intuition. It draws on the pastknowledge and ingenuity of many thousands ofengineers to accelerate the project teams abilityto solve problems creatively. As such, TRIZbrings repeatability, predictability, and reliabilityto the problem-solving process with its structuredand algorithmic approach.

The analysis done with the help of the TRIZsystem helped me create a simple venn diagramto come limiting my areas of study to Food andGender, Junk Food, Veeganism, Freeganism,Food and Celebration.
At rst sight the link between globalization andfood intake appears to be rather remote.However, its inuence can be substantially high,although it works mostly through employment,incomes, prices and the market inuence on foodpreferences. The expected impact is the shifttowards more processed foods and the marketinuence of popular fast foods promoted throughadvertising by transnational corporations.Changes in the dietary pattern in turn inuencethe nutritional status of the population. HenceJunk food became the way forward.

BACKGROUND
Over the last three decades, fast food has inltrated every nook and crannyof American society. An industry that began with a handful of modest hot dogand hamburger stands has spread to every corner of the nation and now theworld, selling a broad range of foods wherever paying customers may befound.
Fast food industry is viewed as a threat to independent businesses, as astep toward a food economy dominated by giant corporations, and as ahomogenizing inuence on our diet. The centralized purchasing decisions ofthe large restaurant chains and their demand for standardized products havegiven a handful of corporations an unprecedented degree of power over theeconomys food supply. Moreover, the tremendous success of the fast foodindustry has encouraged other industries to adopt similar business methods.The basic thinking behind fast food has become the operating system oftodays retail economy, wiping out small businesses, obliterating regionaldifferences, and spreading identical stores throughout the country like a
self-replicating code.

SCOPE FOR RESEARCH
This project will look into this cultural and gastronomical phenomenon, thevalues it embodies, and the world it has made. Fast food has proven to be arevolutionary force in modern life; both as a commodity and as a metaphor.What people eat (or dont eat) has always been determined by a complexinterplay of social, economic, and technological forces. The early Roman
Republic was fed by its citizen-farmers; the Roman Empire, by its slaves.A nations diet can be more revealing than its art or literature. On any givenday in the United States about one-quarter of the adult population visits afast food restaurant. During a relatively brief period of time, the fast foodindustry has helped to transform not only the diet, but also the landscape,economy, workforce, and popular culture. In India and across the world Fastfood and its consequences have become inescapable, regardless of oneeats it once in a week or have never taken a single bite.

The demographic living on a junk food diet
is that of urban youth (middle class and
upper middle) class between the age of 18-35
which includes college students and young
professionals and school chileren as young as
6 and their parents.
Reasons for eating out are urbanization, break upof joint families systems, desire for quality, workingwomen, rise in per capita income, changinglifestyles, increasing levels of afuence in the
middle income groups.
Around 60% of Indians are under 30 years old arecreating new appetites among Indian consumers.Dining out is fast becoming a typical expenditure formore and more of them. As a result, sales at bothwestern and local fast-food chains are growing 28%per year. Indians spent an estimated $1.3 billionon chain restaurants. Fast food stores are alsogaining favor in Indias smaller, second-tier cities as
well.
Hence the nal outcome should incorporate theirbest interests and educate the.

A visualised article aimed at the youth. The core idea is to illustrate the waywe eat and how and why our food choices matter. The food we eat revealswho we are as a society. Stressing on the need for making ethical choiceswhich will not only benet health but also the environment and encouragelocal businesses. The article will bring out the complex realtionship that exitsbetween mankind and food.
A Visualised Article takes an otherwise lenthy piece of writing and makes itvisual. This makes it easier to understand, helping it to get shared.Needs a strong titleWorks well with lots of contentWorks well on social media
The storytellers favourite, a visualised article is like reading a strolling picturebook. Perfect for times when numbers arent as important, this infographic iseye catching and emotive by relying on the
images to speak.
Perfect to use when your topic can be supported by imagery, this type ofinfographic should be avoided when visuals dont particularly relate (such asbusiness themed infographics).

Make tt user centric.
Create levels at which the infographic operates.
Build parallel connections.
Put focus on consumer and MNCs to bring outthe consumeristic angle without creating stronglycondemming our actions and choices but to letthe consumer decide what stand to take.
Consider how would a reade navigate theinformnation.
