You will see. I hope you had a great holiday feast on Christmas, if you celebrate Christmas, and on New Year’s, if you celebrated the New Year at this time. It wouldn’t have been the same without its festival foods. In this course we’ll see why that is so. Anthropology of Food Welcome, p. 2 Of course, it wouldn’t be Christmas in Minnesota without talk of lutefisk [literally “lye fish”]. Love it or loathe it, Minnesota's lutefisk tradition lives on (-- MPR News (11 December 2017) About the Anth of Food course . Some people like to procrastinate. Others like to arrive at a dinner party early, and in other ways they’re “pre- crastinators”. I am sending this note out early to make it more convenient for the pre-crastinators to order textbooks on-line (if that is an attractive option for you), and/or to let you get started reading one or other of the interesting books we have for the class (if you are the kind of person who likes to do that sort of thing). If none of these options apply to you, and you feel like a little end-of-holiday procrastination, just relax and enjoy the wonderful winter weather, and, the rest of your break.

Moved by Council Member Nordin, seconded by Council Member-at-Large Chaffee, approving the minutes of May 21, 2001. Target Market representative Joshua Gardner spoke to Council and gave copies of a model ordinance from Denver, Colorado on the placement of cigarettes in stores (attached). The object of his proposed ordinance is to remove cigarettes displays from the eye level of children. Council Member Lang said the Council would very carefully review the smoking issue in general and will move “slow and cautiously” on this matter. Jill Vollmer, 906 5th Avenue NE, asked if there were a noise ordinance and referred to cars in her neighborhood causing her home to shake. Chief Philipp said, yes, there is a noise ordinance. He advised people to help identify perpetrators by identifying cars, noting license plate numbers and being willing to sign a citation. Citizens could note a particular problem time or car and then the area could be patrolled more. Asked by Council Member Goodnature if the noise ordinance refers to noise decibels, Chief Philipp replied that it did not refer to decibels, but the ordinance is a good one which uses a number of descriptive terms.

    University of Connecticut OpenCommons@UConn Doctoral Dissertations University of Connecticut Graduate School 7-29-2015 Alien Comforts: The Languages and Foodways of Chinese Americans and Hawaiian Locals in U.S. Popular Culture Jared Demick University of Connecticut - Storrs, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations Recommended Citation Demick, Jared, "Alien Comforts: The Languages and Foodways of Chinese Americans and Hawaiian Locals in U.S. Popular Culture" (2015). Doctoral Dissertations. 895. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/895 Alien Comforts: The Languages and Foodways of Chinese Americans and Hawaiian Locals in U.S. Popular Culture Jared Demick, PhD University of Connecticut, 2015 My project deals with how the grotesque and simplifying distortion of Chinese American and Hawaiian Local languages and foodways has been used to promote facile multiculturalist encounters and the ways in which contemporary writers from those ethnic groups have attempted to articulate other ethnic formulations free from what I call minstrel gestures. These writers instead valorize innovation and transformation over an adherence to past traditions already pillaged and stereotyped by hegemonic interests. This strategy—which I dub the creole relational mode—has worked to varying degrees of success in creating the possibilities for oppositional cultural formations. While these oppositional cultural formations are often liberating, they sometimes can obscure persistent interethnic tensions in U.S. culture. The project’s contribution to the existing scholarship lies in its central claim that language and food are invested with so much meaning in U.S. interethnic discourse because these two forms of difference are easily appropriated and internalized by individuals across otherwise rigidly constructed ethnic boundaries.
