ÌÇÐÄTV

The purpose of this workshop is to produce a research agenda for thinking about the crosscutting relations between food and caste hierarchy in India. While critically reflecting on the historical and social constructions of food, nutrition and health in colonial and late colonial times, it is about thinking as to what analytics of caste can - and can’t - do for understanding Indian food politics. Along with reviewing the global history of nutrition, cultural historians of food participating in the workshop will talk about the mutual constitution of food and caste in relation to reproduction, anti-caste resistance, sociability and the advertising of food in Colonial and late colonial India.
