Sublette. 520 $a Devouring Cultures brings together contributors from a wide range of disciplines including media studies, rhetoric, gender studies, philosophy, anthropology, literary criticism, film criticism, race theory, history, and linguistics to examine the ways food signifies both culture and identity. These scholars look for answers to intriguing questions: What does our choice of dining house say about our social class? Can restaurants teach us about a culture? How does food operate in Downton Abbey? How does food consumption in zombie apocalypse films and apocalyptic literature relate to contemporary food-chain crises and food nostalgia? What aspects of racial conflict, assimilation, and empowerment may be represented in restaurant culture and food choice? Restaurants, from their historical development to their modern role as surrogate kitchen, are studied as markers of gender, race, and social class, and also as forums for the exhibition of tensions or spaces where culture is learned through the language of food. Food, as it is portrayed in literature, movies, and television, is illuminated as a platform for cultural assimilation, a way for the oppressed to find agency, or even a marker for the end of a civilization. The essays in Devouring Cultures--despite having a rich mix of approaches--are united by each writer's deep exploration of how our choices about what we eat, where we eat, and with whom we eat are linked to identity and meaning. 650 0 $a Food in popular culture. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2001006053 650 0 $a Food in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85050279 650 0 $a Food on television. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2007005285 650 0 $a Food $x Social aspects. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008120936 650 7 $a Food in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00930837 650 7 $a Food in popular culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00930840 650 7 $a Food on television. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01743483 650 7 $a Food $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00930613 700 1 $a Sublette, Cammie M., $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2016024810 700 1 $a Martin, Jennifer D., $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2016024918 830 0 $a Food and foodways (Fayetteville, Ark.) $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2015034322 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171229053457.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B2AC806CEC6A11E7AF65C16E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
