Food: Literary and Rhetorical Explorations

This course explores how food production and consumption has been represented in both literary and nonfiction texts. It examines how language about food in novels, poems, essays, art, and nonfiction both shapes and reflects human attitudes toward food as an economic asset, a cultural symbol, an environmental issue, a health concern, a social activity, and a political concern. This is a writing intensive course.
