...MoreMyriam Durocher is a doctoral candidate in Communication at Université de Montréal (UdeM), under the supervision of Dr. Line Grenier. Current research interests are situated at the intersection of media, critical food and cultural studies. More specifically, she is concerned by the power/knowledge relations that currently cross the production and circulation of knowledge about food, nutrition and “healthy” eating habits in the context of a society characterised by an increasing penetration of media’s presence. Her actual thesis project, entitled “D’une culture alimentaire biomédicalisée à la production d’un(de) corps contemporain(s) particulier(s)”, aims to observe the development of a biomedicalized food culture and the body(ies) and normativities it participates to produce. Myriam is currently the coordinator of the media monitoring project for the international research group Ageing+Communication+Technologies (ACT) based in Concordia. She is also the coordinator of the Culture Populaire, Connaissance et Critique (CPCC) lab, at UdeM.
