Project 1: Food Film Assignment
Films about food are an excellent way to think critically about the ideas raised so far in this course. Module 1: Edibility and Module 2: Ingredients cover cultural definitions and categorizations of food, food rules, subsistence/food getting strategies, and the commercialization of food at a global level.
I encourage you to select a film that allows you to see these issues from another culture. I will accept films about food in the US, but if you choose the US, I ask that you select a film that recognizes the vast cultural diversity found in the US.
Your film should be a minimum of 60 minutes. It should be contemporary (within the past 20 years).
Your assignment should be 3 pages (minimum) double spaced. A minimum of 750 words (~3 pages double spaced).
Part 1: Assignment
For your Assignment, I ask that you select a total of 3-4 learning objectives from chapter 1-3. Pick learning objectives that can be addressed using the film. Thus, its best to watch the film first and then pick your objectives.
Your assignment should include:
1. Introduction: This is a very brief (~4 sentences) summary of the film including its production details such as its release date, where it was made, and the main plot.
2. Objectives: State your objective as a header in your assignment. Then use ~1 page to explore how concepts/ideas/theories from your text can be observed in the film. Please rely on your text and my lectures! I expect you to develop well articulated arguments/statements that demonstrate anthropological ideas using the content in the film.
