Here is the link for this week’s class notes document:
Pérez, Elizabeth. 2011. Cooking for the gods: Sensuous ethnography, sensory knowledge, and the kitchen in Lucumí tradition, Religion, 41:4, 665-683.
NOTE: This week you should write a short response (300-500 words) to the assigned article using the questions below:
- First, write a short summary (1-2 sentences) of what TO YOU is the main point of the article.
- Second, identify an idea, argument, passage, claim, example, etc. in the chapter that you find intriguing, confusing, or worth discussing in class. Explain what more you want to know, what you agree or disagree with, what you are confused by, and/or what you found especially enlightening. Alternately, you could choose a quote that connects to the Brown reading about Santeria aesthetics from last week. In either case, be sure to explain clearly what it is that made you select your quote and why it is relevant to our class.
