Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The course introduces anthropological theory and practice about food (and consumption). Students will be enabled to identify and analyse research areas of food anthropology by studying anthropological texts and doing brief fieldwork. Processes of appreciation and devaluation of food practices are shown as an integral part of emphasizing differences and the common consciousness of belonging in societies. The importance of food (and materiality) will become unveiled on different social levels and ranks. The importance of Sidney Mintz as one of the founders of food anthropology will be taken into special account.

The methodology of the course includes:

+ short input sequences

+ presentation of documentations and videos
