2020
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
This subject will examine a range of anthropological approaches to food and eating. While it is a biological imperative that humans need to eat to survive, food is grown, eaten and prepared in a variety of ways according to cultural preferences. The study of food and eating is a lens through which to examine some of the long-standing interests of anthropologists including: modes of subsistence, taboos, cannibalism, religious dietary prohibitions, and ritual feasting and fasting as well as issues such as class, ethnicity, gender, globalisation, migration, consumption and identity. Teaching will include online lectures, online activities and face-to-face workshops.
