HUM 2120 - The Power of Food in Literature, Culture & Film Credits: 3
In this interdisciplinary course, students explore the power and meaning of food and how it is contextualized within the broader aspects of culture and human experience as revealed and expressed in literature and film. Although food plays a fundamental role in survival, it is also at the heart of shared and ritualized eating practices–from simple to ceremonial–that shape identity and define notions of community. Through interpreting short fiction, novels, poems, essays and select films, students explore the cultural and social significance of food in a range of world cultures, the role of food as a literary or cinematic device, and the metaphoric quality of food as it expresses human desire and behavior.
Prerequisites: Students must meet basic skills policy requirements. No other course prerequisites required.
