GS 105 - (CC, IS) The Globalization of Food CulturesSemester Hours: 3
Periodically
This course analyzes the ways in which diverse food cultures around the world have been shaped in the context of colonialism, modernization, and globalization. Readings focus on the construction and hierarchization of ethnic and national identities based on patterns of food production, preparation and consumption. Special attention is paid to the role of written and cinematic texts in the process of creation and contestation of culinary cultural identities. We also look at how different cultures resist the homogenizing tendencies of globalization by localizing fast food and redefining traditional food practices.
