Did you know that Americans consider museums to be one of the most trustworthy sources of objective information? That museums across the land welcome more than 2.3 million visitors per day? Join faculty and students as they explore these important cultural institutions during Museum Studies Week. This year's focus? Food!
Jennifer Cognard-Black (associate professor of English and coordinator of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies program) presents "Mutton Mouths and Butter Bodies: Recipes as Culture and Memory." Whether written on note cards, collected in boxes, published in cookbooks, or posted on-line, recipes articulate culture and contain human memory. Examining American recipes in cookbooks and cupboards from the seventeenth century to the present, Cognard-Black discusses how the literary form of the recipe serves to create and document human activity in both private and public realms. Cognard-Black will also consider the recipe as a unique culture text, including an analysis of how a functional "how-to" piece of writing is simultaneously an intensely personal artifact. In addition, Cognard-Black will think about how recipes and cookbooks have been archived (or not) in libraries and special collections and muse on the gendered politics surrounding the preservation of kitchen texts.
