Food and Fantasy in Early Modern Japan

Food and Fantasy in Early Modern Japan By:Eric Rath Published on 2010-12-02 by Univ of California Press Click The Button Below To Download The Book How did one dine with a shogun? Or make solid gold soup, sculpt with a fish, or turn seaweed into a symbol of happiness? In this fresh and fascinating look at Japanese culinary history, Eric C. Rath delves into the writings of medieval and early modern Japanese chefs to answer these and other provocative questions, and to trace the development of Japanese cuisine from 1400 to 1868. Rath shows how medieval |fantasy food| rituals--where food was revered as symbol rather than consumed--were continued by early modern writers, who created whimsical dishes and fanciful banquets and turned dining into a voyeuristic literary pleasure. Food and Fantasy in Early Modern Japan offers the first extensive introduction to Japanese cookbooks, recipe collections, and gastronomic writings of the period. It traces the origins of familiar dishes like tempura,

Popular Culture in the Age of White Flight By:Eric Avila Published on 2004-08-23 by Univ of California Press Click The Button Below To Download The Book |In Popular Culture in the Age of White Flight, Eric Avila offers a unique argument about the restructuring of urban space in the two decades following World War II and the role played by new suburban spaces in dramatically transforming the political culture of the United States. Avila's work helps us see how and why the postwar suburb produced the political culture of 'balanced budget conservatism' that is now the dominant force in politics, how the eclipse of the New Deal since the 1970s represents not only a change of views but also an alteration of spaces.|—George Lipsitz, author of The Possessive Investment in Whiteness Book was written in en eBook Version Availability Status at PDF is falseand in ePub is false Book Preview Click The Button Below To Download The Book
