This course will explore food cultures via creative works that engage in a variety of ways with the topic. Material culture is an exciting way to connect creative works with lived experience, and Food Studies offers a particularly engaging avenue into exploring creative works. We will read and screen a variety of creative works representing diverse cultural contexts, in particular those of Northern and Central Europe, in order to analyze the varied discourses and values associated with food and eating spanning the gamut of community and cultural pride to mass food production and alienation. We will analyze critically not only the modes of representation in creative works, but also affective responses that are associated with food and consumption. We will hone our skills of reading and screening creative works closely in order to appreciate the ways in which imaginative representations of food, cooking, and eating reflect and inform complex relationships to food and bodily experience within Europe and in the European diaspora.
