We will study the evolution and ecology of regional cuisines, the use of food in religious and ritual life, the aesthetics of food preparation and consumption, the relationship between food and medicine, and the role of food in community building. The course includes a number of films and three meals, which we will eat at area Chinese restaurants. Students will write a final paper based on their own research into a food-related aspect of Chinese culture. Vergil's Aeneid in Augustan Rome. Vergil's ambitious epic treating the story of Aeneas, the mythical founder of the Roman people and exemplar of the Roman ethical ideal, became upon publication the lesson book to explain the superiority of Rome over Greece and to offer justification for the rule of empire exercised by Rome.
All readings are in English.
