SUMMARY:CMENAS Lecture Series -  My Hummus Is Bigger Than Your Hummus: On F
 ood and Politics In Israel
DESCRIPTION:Location: 1636 School of Social Work Bldg./International Instit
 ute\n\nHow has the Arab dish of hummus become a (Jewish) Israeli passion? 
 And how should we think of the relationship between the field of politics 
 and practices of food consumption? While the Israeli appropriation of humm
 us\, and other Arab dishes\, appears like a clear case of “culinary colo
 nialism\,” I argue that although the culinary field is not detached from
  politics\, consumption and signification patterns do not simply reflect p
 olitical relations. Rather\, they are shaped by the articulation of severa
 l power structures\, the relationship between Jews and Arabs being only on
 e of them. Focusing on the case study of hummus\, this lecture will emphas
 ize the role of various agents and cultural intermediaries in promoting bo
 th consumption and signification patterns of the dish\, one of the most im
 portant among them being the food industry.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n\nDafna 
 Hirsch is a faculty member at the Department of Sociology\, Political Scie
 nce and Communication at the Open University of Israel\, and currently a v
 isiting scholar at the Department of Nutrition\, Food Studies\, and Public
  Health and The Taub Center for Israel Studies at NYU. Her studies focus o
 n the culture of everyday life in Mandate Palestine and Israel in historic
 al perspective. Her book 'We Are Here to Bring the West': Hygiene Educatio
 n and Culture Building in the Jewish Community of Mandate Palestine just c
 ame out in Hebrew.\n\nCo-sponsors: Department of Anthropology\, Jean &amp\
 ; Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies\, and Department of Comparative
  Literature.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n
