Abstract: "This dissertation proposes an examination of alimentary discourse in Chinese and Chinese-American writings, and argues that the Chinese experience with food and practice of eating are a shaping force in Chinese cultural interpretation of the world. Combining textual analysis with an interdisciplinary cultural studies model, the study explores the ways in which oral experiences connect the physical body with the body politic, blend food with speech and language, and invest human energy and desire that are irreducibly plural, diverse, and open-ended. |
