FYW-1223 Eat, Write, Think: Food As Metaphor

Ideas are nourishing: like food, they fuel our understanding of and aliveness to the world. We “digest” them, “chew them over,” reject them as “half-baked.” Food and eating are deep metaphors for meaning and understanding. This course explores food as conceptual metaphor and metaphor as “food for thought” through readings, discussions, and writing workshops. 4 credits.
