Seminar
Talking About Food
Sofia Rüdiger
Kommentar
Everybody eats and everybody uses language – activities which in social life often, but not always, co-occur. We talk while eating and drinking with friends, family members, casual acquaintances, and colleagues, but food is also a prominent literal and metaphorical discursive topic which contributes to establishing communities and creates a sense of identity: Both talk about food and alignments with certain foods are constitutive for the belonging or unbelonging to a particular community.
In this course, we will delve into the language of, about, and surrounding food. We will explore the role of food (and its discursive enactment) in community-building, lifestyles, and the creation of social elites. Other topics include food performances (e.g., cooking and eating shows), dinner talk and socialization, and food and language in the public landscape.
Special emphasis lies on the entanglements of language, food, and the digital realm. Students will have the opportunity to participate in the conference “Digital P(a)lates: The Language of Online Food Practices” (March 26-28, 2026). Participation in the Bayreuth-Berlin Food and Language lectures (12:30-1:30pm, October 31, November 28, December 19, January 30; conducted virtually) is strongly recommended.
