项目介绍 Program Description

       本课题的主要目标是培养学生对于文化异同的批判性意识。在授课过程中,学生应该经常问自己:什么是文化? 我们通过阅读、电影、讲座和课堂讨论来研究文化,农业与食物之间的关系。 大家来自不同的国家和地区,每个人都有不同的文化背景,这就形成了我们独特的观点,并无正确和错误之分。进而,学生应该从文化人类学的角度来思考农业与食物之间特定的关联。

Lecture 3:



Objective I :The Meaning of Food

学习目标I :食物的意义


Description:The Anthropology of Food analyzes its object in aninterdisciplinary manner, since interactions happen socially,ecologically and biologically, provided that human groupsconstitute themselves by their way of life and by techniquesrelated to the environment. After all, the difference betweeneating, a social activity, and nurturing, a biological activity isperceptible where food is crucial to human survival, as vitalnecessity. Therefore, it is shaped by culture and an outcome of thesocial structure in a given age being able to change over time. Thebiological and social aspects become a product of Anthropology offood and food habits are the main themes in social research.

描述:食物人类学以跨学科的方式分析其对象,因为相互作用发生在社会、生态和生物学上,假设人类群体通过他们的生活方式和与环境相关的技术构成自己。 毕竟,进食 (一种社会活动) 和养育 (一种生物活动) 之间的区别是显而易见的,食物对人类的生存至关重要,是人类生产及生活至关重要的必需品。 因此,它是由文化塑造的,是一个特定时代的社会结构能够随时间而变化的结果。 生物和社会方面的产物成为人类学的食物和饮食习惯是社会研究的主要主题之一。

Objective II :Gender Identity

学习目标II:性别认同


Description:We examine the significance of food-centeredactivities to gender relations and the construction of genderedidentities across cultures.;We;consider;how each gender'srelationship to food may facilitate mutual respect or producegender hierarchy. This relationship is considered through twocentral questions: How does control of food production,distribution, and consumption contribute to men's and women's powerand social position? How does food symbolically connote malenessand femaleness and establish the social value of men and women?Other issues discussed include;men's and women's;attitudes towardstheir bodies and the legitimacy of their appetites.

描述: 我们将研究以食物为中心的活动对性别关系和跨文化性别身份的构建的重要性;同时考虑每个性别与食物的关系如何促进相互尊重或产生性别的等级?这种关系可以通过两个核心观点来考虑: 对于粮食生产、分配和消费的控制如何有助于男性和女性的权力和社会地位? 食物是如何象征性地暗示男性和女性,并确立男性和女性的社会价值的? 最后教授也将讨论其他问题包括男性和女性对自己身体的态度以及他们食欲的合法性。

Our globalizedfood system has been centuries in the making, and the structures ofpower and flows of goods reveals the enduring legacies of slavery,imperialism, and colonialism that bring us our daily meals today

描述:从1500年到2015年,资本主义和全球饮食方式在制造场所、口味和饮食方面都有着重大的影响。 我们的全球化食品体系已经酝酿了几个世纪,而权力结构和商品流动揭示了奴隶制、帝国主义和殖民主义的持久遗产,这些遗产给我们今天的日常饮食带来了很大的改变。

Lecture 5:



Objective I :Local Foodways

学习目标 I :当地“美食之路”


Description:Anthropologists, folklorists, sociologists,historians, and foodscholars often use the term foodways to describe;the study of whywe eat what we eat and what it means. The term, therefore, looks atfood consumption on a deeper than concrete level and includes, yetgoes, beyond sustenance, recipes, and/or taste.

描述:人类学家,民俗学家,社会学家,历史学家,还有食物学家等相关学者们经常使用Foodways这个术语来描述我们为什么饮食及它意味着什么。 因此,这个词从更深层的层面来看待食物消费,包括但不限于食物、食谱/味道。

Objective II :Making and Returning to Traditional Food

学习目标 II :传统食物的制作,回潮与传承


Description: Slow Food;envisions a world in which all people canaccess and enjoy food that is good for them, good for those whogrow it and good for the planet. In anthropology, the Slow FoodMovement links local, sustainable, and fair food movements in newways.; It is a critique of the “wasteconomy”, Petrini’soverarching term for conventional, globalizing food systems andcommodification processes that judge food only by price withoutconsidering other (labor, environmental, biodiversity)characteristics and more humane, “right to food” dimensions ofvalue: “It is incredible how a system designed to reducediversity, increase productivity, and distribute efficiently fromcentralized structures manages to “lose food” at every turn…allthis while a billion people are suffering from hunger andmalnutrition”.

描述:“慢食计划” 设想了一个世界,在这个世界里,所有人都能获得并享用对他们、对种植这些食物的人、对地球都有好处的食物。 在人类学中,“慢食运动”以一种新的方式将地方、可持续和公平的食物运动联系起来。 这是对“浪费经济”的批评。“浪费经济”是彼得里尼对传统的、全球化的粮食系统和商品化过程的总术语,这些过程只根据价格来判断粮食,而不考虑其他(劳动力、环境、生物多样性)特征和更人道的“食物权”价值维度: “令人难以置信的是,一个旨在减少多样性、提高生产率和通过集中结构进行有效分配的系统,却在每一个环节都在“失去粮食”……与此同时,还有10亿人在忍受饥饿和营养不良”。
