Bringing Visual and Material Culture Approaches to the Study of Food.&#8221; Here&#8217;s additional information about the lecture topic:<\/p>\n<p>\ufeff\ufeffObjects speak! Objects speak volumes, in fact. They tell us much about how they were made, who made them and when they were made as well as their social, cultural, and political contexts. In his essay \u201cMind in Matter,&#8221; Jules Prown writes \u201cmaterial culture is the study\u2014through artifacts\u2014of the beliefs\u2013values, ideas, attitudes, and assumptions\u2013of a particular community or society at a given time.\u201d In addition to bespeaking our communities, objects also denote our class and social status, among other aspects of our lives. Food, as an object of material culture, is no exception. This discussion will consider groups of foods\u2014singular and collective\u2014and argues for ways that methods like object analysis inform our lives, histories, and cultures, laying it all bare and making it all the more porous.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EVENT INFO<\/strong><br \/>\nTuesday, March 8<br \/>\n6-7:30pm<br \/>\nRoom 527, College of Graduate Studies Building (871 Commonwealth Avenue)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Psyche Williams-Forson, Associate Professor of American Studies at University of Maryland, will be visiting BU and discussing her studies of visual and material culture as they relate to food in a lecture called &#8220;Do You See What I See?
