What questions animate food studies? What do the institutional dynamics of food studies work tell us about the nature of disciplines in the current moment? About the need of the university for “interdisciplinary” work? Join us for this roundtable lunchtime discussion. We will examine the field as a site of intellectual endeavor and also as an institutional presence.

This conversation will be audio recorded for archival purposes. Video will not be recorded.

An IAS Thursdays Presentation with the Institute for Advanced Study
THURSDAY, MARCH 30 - 3:30pm to 5:00pm
Northrop Auditorium, The Crosby Seminar Room

Putting Winsor McCay's iconic comic strip The Dreams of a Rarebit Fiend into conversation with the federal government's reorganization of consumable goods into toxic, intoxicating and medicinal substances at the turn of the twentieth century, this talk reconsiders the narrative of progressive-era governmental benevolence - in particular the Food and drug Act of 1906 - to consider where and how affective form and materiality became aligned with the racialized carcerality. Focused on the lines between politics and aesthetics as they were entrenched as law in the early twentieth century, this talk also considers the limits of aesthetic formalism as a methodology that has historically excluded minoritarian critique.

This event is made possible with the generous support of The Winton Chair in the Liberal Arts (z.umn.edu/WintonChair & facebook.com/WintonChair). The Winton Chair in the Liberal Arts was established in October 1987 to encourage innovative, distinctive research in the liberal arts that questions established patterns of thought by bringing  diverse, innovative, and engaged scholars, artists, and performers to campus to engage our community in conversation around their work for periods ranging from a few days to a year. Please direct additional inquiries, requests, and comments to the Faculty Committee for the Winton Chair at winton@umn.edu.
