Download Devouring Cultures: Perspectives on Food, Power, and Identity from the Zombie Apocalypse to Downton Abbey AudioBook Free
Devouring Civilizations brings together contributors from a variety of disciplines including media studies, rhetoric, gender studies, philosophy, anthropology, literary criticism, film criticism, competition theory, history, and linguistics to examine the ways food implies both culture and personality. These scholars look for answers to interesting questions: What does our selection of eating house say about our cultural class? Can restaurants teach us about a culture? So how exactly does food operate in Downton Abbey? So how exactly does food utilization in zombie apocalypse movies and apocalyptic literature relate to modern food-chain crises and food nostalgia? What areas of racial discord, assimilation, and empowerment may be displayed in restaurant culture and food choice? Restaurants, off their historical development with their modern role as surrogate kitchen, are researched as markers of gender, competition, and social class, and also as community forums for the exhibition of tensions or spaces where culture is discovered through the vocabulary of food. Food, as it is portrayed in literature, movies, and television set, is lighted as a program for ethnical assimilation, a means for the oppressed to find organization, or even a marker for the finish of any civilization. The essays in Devouring Civilizations show how our options about what we consume, where we consume, and with whom we consume are associated with identity and interpretation and how the seemingly simple function of utilization has implications that prolong considerably beyond sustenance. The publication is published by The School of Arkansas Press.
