Course Description

Summary

“Tell me what you eat and I will tell you who you are” –Brillat-Savarin While food sustains life, it also gives it meaning. This course will focus on how the culture of food and eating has played an important role in the construction of the religious, national, ethnic, and individual identities of the French-speaking world. How have migration and the realities of the post-colonial world transformed cuisine and national identity? How does cuisine allow the French to challenge an American dominated world? We will consider the worldview French food products and practices reflect and make comparisons with our own culinary cultures. This course will offer a systematic review of the foundations of French grammar as well as offer practice at perfecting oral and written expression. Intermediate-low level. Conducted in French.
