  • ACS S10: Taste,Memory,Book:Indigestible Memories of Food

    1.00 Credits
    Bates College

    The food narrative is an increasingly popular subgenre of autobiography; as Ruth Reichl explains, "People are writing their lives in food. They are actually looking at the world food-first." This unit explores the intersections of writing, memory, and the book. Food books (e.g., cookbooks, food memoirs) are not only instructional manuals for the culinary arts and repositories for traditional dishes, they also reflect food habits of a population, act as historical markers of major events, and record technological advances in a society. They also provide narratives of self-development, interpersonal engagements, and intercultural negotiations as they recount relational life stories. Students read, write, and create food books. Recommended background: one course in American cultural studies or in women and gender studies. New unit beginning Short Term 2009. Enrollment limited to 15. M. Beasley.

  • AN 232: Ethnicity,Nation,and World Community

    3.00 Credits
    Bates College

    The course explores the means by which social identities are constructed as ethnicity and nations. It focuses on how representations taken from categories of everyday life-such as "race," religion, gender, and sexuality-are deployed to give these group loyalties the aura of a natural, timeless authority. This inquiry into ethnicity and nation as cultural fabrications allows for exploration of the possibility of global community not simply in its institutional dimensions, but as a condition of consciousness. Not open to students who have received credit for AN/SO 325. Enrollment limited to 15. C. Carnegie.
