SPN 4540 EATING THROUGH THE PAGES: FOOD IN CONTEMPORARY TEXTS

This course centers on the presence and manipulation of culinary imagery in contemporary Spain and/or Spanish America. The intent of the course is to be as multi-genre as possible so we will be analyzing visual as well as written texts, including art, photography, film, videos, chefs' demonstrations, food itself, cookbooks, short stories, poems, plays, essays, and a novel. We will be analyzing how images of food, cooking, eating, hunger, gluttony, and the like, express diverse topics such as gender, sexuality, race, class, identity, power, control, sin, and memory, all within the frame of Spanish and/or Spanish American cultures.
