CONGRESS CANCELED Getting to Their Mind through Their Plate: Food as Social Identity in the Medieval World
Description
What we consider good to eat and the ways in which we structure eating events speak to our personal and community identities. Beyond culinary practices and etiquette, food acquisition engages with economies in the ways in which foods are produced and exchanged, and with politics in the ways that foods are accumulated and redistributed. There has been a growing scholarly interest in food studies and this session draws from those interests to explore the ways in which food as a marker of social identity during the medieval period and in the ways we reconstruct foods and feasting events.
