Discussing feasts not just as events but as fundamental elements of economies and cultures, O’Connor revises our notions of commensality and of the dynamics of feasting” - Mary C. Beaudry, Boston University, USA >> >> “Kaori O’Connor reminds us that the sharing of food is intimately entangled with the formation (and destruction) of political alliances, the structures of inequality, the emergency of religious practices, and indeed the philosophy of life itself.” - Rebecca Earle, University of Warwick, UK >> >> “Read this book and you’ll never look at museum artefacts in the same way again. In this engrossing volume, Kaori O’Connor breathes life into all those cauldrons and cups, bowls and beakers, used during the great banquets and celebrations of antiquity’ - Rachel Laudan, author of Cuisine and Empire: Cooking in World History. >> >> Dr Kaori O’Connor >> Senior Research Fellow, >> UCL Anthropology >> [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> >> or: k.o’[log in to unmask] <http://ucl.ac.uk/>http://www.ucl.ac.uk/anthropology/people/research_staff/k_oconnor <http://www.ucl.ac.uk/anthropology/people/research_staff/k_oconnor> >> >> > ************************************************************* * Anthropology-Matters Mailing List * http://www.anthropologymatters.com * * A postgraduate project comprising online journal, * * online discussions, teaching and research resources * * and international contacts directory. * * To join this list or to look at the archived previous * * messages visit: * * http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/Anthropology-Matters.HTML * * If you have ALREADY subscribed: to send a message to all * * those currently subscribed to the list,just send mail to: * * [log in to unmask] * * * * Enjoyed the mailing list?
