Produktbeschreibung

Using an interdisciplinary approach combining film, semiotics, social-anthrolopogy and history, Food in Film examines food scenes in selected films to reveal food's power to direct and impose values and beliefs, to understand how dining venues may become sites of social contests, and to reveal how food communicates values and beliefs to individuals, to micro communities, and to American society.
