| Description: | Cross List: HIS-350=HSP-300. Students in this seminar will research the impact of food on Latin American history, broadly conceived. The production, consumption, environmental context, cultural philosophy and economics of food will be considered. Food Studies in the past several years has matured into a serious academic field, and students will be engaging primary and secondary literature from a variety of disciplines in the seminar. Pre-colonial, colonial and independent period histories will be examined from a variety of disciplinary standpoints. Students will write reviews of key iterature in the field, and will also produce a significant (20 page) term paper on a topic of their choice in the field of Latin American Food History. These projects will be presented to the Wabash community during a lunch session later in the semester. Finally, the course will require participation in several "labs," as students will learn about food history through cooking. Prerequisites: One course in Latin American history or permission of the instructor. |
