Desc:COOKING UP HISTORY: FOOD, DOMESTICITY AND GENDER: This seminar introduces students to the historian's craft through an in-depth deconstruction of cookbooks as primary sources that register the transformation of traditions and everyday life rarely found in traditional historical sources. The home as the location where class, gender, consumerism, nationalism, and technology interact on a daily basis provides a unique window into how individuals experience, define, interpret and make sense of their conditions of existence. Transformations in food consumption, nutrition patterns and cooking techniques, as well as the gendering of the kitchen space can be accessed through these sources. Recipes are loaded with meaning particular to their time and place. At the same time they provide us with ideas that have been through comments, references and historical capsules. As cultural texts they provide us with a better understanding of the central role of food and its preparation/presentation/consumption, in the creation of social class. Modern, Latin America. PREREQUISITE: NONE. This course is crosslisted with L45 301L, L77 301L and L97 301L.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
