520 _aAlthough food porn is obviously not true pornography, it is based on a cultural imaginary that eroticizes food. This paper first examines some of its salient iconic conventions, establishing that food is often represented as a female body to be consumed. It then focuses specifically on what happens when “real” female bodies accompany food in the image. The analysis reveals that, in this scenario, the hedonic framework associated with food in food porn becomes more complex. The representation assimilates female bodies to food intended to be consumed, but, beyond the referential level, these images function as a result of connotations, aestheticization, and humor. This polysemy raises the question of their semiotic status in the digital universe.
