I started my final year in the MACS program in September 2012 with a core/required class revisiting the work of Stuart Hall and diving deeper into the layers of cultural studies. Every chapter of the book we read,
Representation, I attempted to find ties to my research within food activism and food spaces. For some of the assignments it was nearly impossible to find pieces of cultural criticism where someone (or some people) is (are) questioning the politics of representation in the way that the authors do in the Hall book. It was extremely easy to find data
to critique, but the reverse was much more difficult.
I have included here the assignments I was able to relate to food with some critiques of my own work.
