1. COURSE OBJECTIVES
This course provides a multidisciplinary, comparative, and necessarily eclectic look at the anthropology of food, with a primary focus on issues of food, wine and culture. Students will explore connections between what we eat and who we are through the study of how personal identities and social groups are formed via food production, preparation, and consumption. The course examines the social context shaping the literal and symbolic production of food. The course also provides the basic knowledge related to wine and wine consumption. Students will discuss the cultural meanings attached to food, the institutional and industrial creation of food, its preparation, and rituals of eating; the origin of wine, grape varietals, and tasting wine like a professional.
