AFRICANA STUDIES 339c: Interracial Narratives
3.00 Credits
Bowdoin College
Spring 2007. MARK FOSTER. Violence and interracial sex have long been conjoined in U.S. literary, televisual, and filmic work. The enduring nature of this conjoining suggests there is some symbolic logic at work in these narratives, such that black/white intimacy functions as a figural stand-in for negative (and sometimes positive) commentary on black/white social conflict. When this happens, what becomes of "sex" as a historically changing phenomenon when it is yoked tothe historically unchanging phenomenon of the "interracial" Although counter-narrativeshave recently emerged to compete with such symbolic portrayals, i.e. romance novels, popular films, and television shows, not all of these works have displaced this earlier figural logic; in some cases, this logic has merely been updated. Explores the broader cultural implications of both types of narratives. Possible authors/texts include Richard Wright, Chester Himes, Ann Petry, Lillian Smith, Jack Kerouac, Frantz Fanon, Kara Walker, Amiri Baraka, Alice Walker, Octavia Butler, John R. Gordon, Kim McLarin, Monster's Ball, Far From Heaven, and Sex and the City. (Same as English 339 and Gender and Women's Studies 339.) Prerequisite: One first-year seminar or 100-level course in the English Department. Note: This course fulfills the literature of the Americas requirement for English majors.

Anthroplogy 25b: d.Tasting Hierarchies:Food in Latin America
3.00 Credits
Bowdoin College
Spring 2007. KRISTA VAN VLEET. Food generates meanings and feelings beyond a full stomach. This is well known by anthropologists who have studied the symbolic significance of food in a variety of cultures. Course uses case studies from Latin America to explore how food produces social relationships. From the daily practices of eating and feeding that create familial bonds and bodies in the Andes, to the diagnosis of hunger as "nerves" in Brazil, to the global circulation of sugarthrough networks of power and deprivation in the Caribbean, food in Latin America is implicated in political as well as cultural and social relations. Class discussion and writing based on readings of ethnographies, scholarly articles, and novels and the viewing of documentary and feature films. Focusing on the local practices and transnational relationships of producing, exchanging, and consuming food, examines how food reinforces and transforms political, economic, and social hierarchies. (Same as Latin American Studies 25.)
