74316-01 - Seminar: Food Discourses in English (3 KP)
| Semester | Frühjahrsemester 2025 |
| Angebotsmuster | einmalig |
| Dozierende | Thomas Messerli (thomas.messerli@unibas.ch, BeurteilerIn) |
| Inhalt | Food as a topic in linguistics can be examined through many different lenses, and discourses around food in English are manifest in a range of different texts and practices. While we will take into consideration e.g. cognitive linguistic research on taste, our main focus in this seminar will be on discourse analytic approaches to situated practices such as interactions in restaurants, producing and watching of food-related videos on social media, evaluation of food in reviews and tasting notes, positioning of dishes as well as of restaurants through menus, the aesthetics of food in advertising and others. With a keen eye for methodology and an appetite for the richness of food-related language, we will discuss papers and book chapters from pragmatic, systemic functional and general linguistic traditions to review basic approaches to language in use and discourse by means of food and to develop a better understanding of the way speakers and writers engage with and communicate about food. |
| Lernziele | By the end of the course, students will have revisited core aspects of pragmatics and discourse analysis and understood how they are realized in English discourses about food. They will have thought critically about empirical research, worked with data, engaged with different methods of analysis. They will have applied their theoretical and empirical insights to their own examples as well as those provided as part of exercises in the course. |
| Literatur | All obligatory reading for the course will be made available on ADAM. |
