Are we really what we eat? What makes Italian food “Italian”? What’s the difference between a Spanish “tortilla” and a Mexican one and why does it matter? Everything having to do with food is a cultural act (Montanari), and food, cooking, and eating have central roles in defining national cultures and in challenging them. In this course, we’ll learn how to think with food. This means we’ll consider how it creates identities and communities, how it exerts power and signifies privilege, and how it marks commonalities and differences, all by working with literary and film texts treating the discrete and intermingling food cultures that characterize our world and our lives here in San Diego. By acquiring a critical vocabulary to analyze food as a text, students will recognize intersections between social class, ethnic identity, and gender that provide an essential foundation for social justice-focused endeavors.
