The vermin signifier and extermination paradigms motivate the action through most of the movie; although at the end they are absent at Remy’s restaurant of interspecies detente, the movie does not portray a universal revolution of “separate but equitable” social spaces. Outside the restaurant, there is no indication that the social structure which produced the oppression and violence throughout most of the film has changed. Instead, Remy’s bistro is a space for ethical inquiry to engage in possibilities, where, within its limited space, a Bakhtinian dialogic persists between humans and animals to explore ways to live in harmony.","PeriodicalId":201587,"journal":{"name":"Table Lands","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134140101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The chapter uses period cookbooks by Mrs. Beeton and Eliza Acton to understand the preeminence of puddings and pies in British cooking. To take into account Potter’s representations of class and setting, the analysis considers British rural and urban cultures, the food-related problems of poverty, and period-applied social work theory. In these tales of failed pies and puddings, Potter represents food as strategic in a fictive world where characters must be alert to the constantly changing ways that food shapes the social landscape. Potter uses food to show the complexities of the real world within her stories, acknowledging the hidden violence of social relations.","PeriodicalId":201587,"journal":{"name":"Table Lands","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127667194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pollard","doi":"10.2307/j.ctv11sn681.12","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/j.ctv11sn681.12","url":null,"abstract":"In One Crazy Summer and its sequels P.S. Be Eleven, and Gone Crazy in Alabama, Rita Williams-Garcia tracks the movement of African-American diasporas, generationally and geographically, through changes in food preparation and consumption. This chapter examines the third novel in the series first, showing how Delphine, the protagonist, becomes aware that her family’s identity is grounded in the deep roots of southern country foodways, dependent on personally raised or locally produced foods (especially milk and eggs) that are usually slow-cooked. The middle novel demonstrates the popularity of post-war convenience foods, cooked quickly and simply to match the faster tempo of urban life common to the generation that had made the Great Migration. The first novel, set in urban Oakland in the revolutionary year of 1968, shows the revolutionary power of food, most overtly through the Black Panthers’ breakfast program, which sought to better life for urban families by improving poor nutrition as well as to empower them politically. The novel also presents the deconstruction of the traditional kitchen: Cecile, the mother of Delphine and her sisters, rejects and revises the “yoke” of women’s service to men and family by making her kitchen into an art studio, redefining it as a new space that is both maternal and professional.","PeriodicalId":201587,"journal":{"name":"Table Lands","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115187926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
