Food Matters: Alonso Quijano’S Diet And The Discourse Of Early Modern Food In Spain, Carolyn Nadeau Feb 2016

Food Matters: Alonso Quijano’S Diet And The Discourse Of Early Modern Food In Spain, Carolyn Nadeau

Carolyn A Nadeau

In the second sentence of Don Quixote, Cervantes describes the diet of the protagonist, Alonso Quijano: “A stew made of more beef than mutton, cold salad on most nights, abstinence eggs on Saturdays, lentils on Fridays, and an additional squab on Sundays.” Through an inventive and original engagement with this text, Carolyn A. Nadeau explores the shifts in Spain’s cultural and gastronomic history. Using cooking manuals, novels, poems, dietary treatises, and other texts, she brings to light the figurative significance of foodstuffs and culinary practices in early modern Spain. Drawing on the work of Pierre Bourdieu and Stephen Mennell, Food …

Moscatel Morisco: The Role Of Wine In The Formation Of Morisco Identity, Carolyn Nadeau Jan 2013

Moscatel Morisco: The Role Of Wine In The Formation Of Morisco Identity, Carolyn Nadeau

Carolyn A Nadeau

This article explores how Moriscos adapted to changing political pressures through the food and drink they consumed, specifically through their relationship to wine. To contextualize Morisco wine production and consumption, I first examine the religious, legal and poetic contexts within Muslim-Mudejar history and how wine informed their identity. Using Bourdieu's theory of distinction and the fact that practices as banal as eating and drinking reflect social identity, I then turn to specific case studies. Records of vineyards and wine production, regulatory laws, and an artistic expression of Morisco wine consumption reflect economic, social and cultural realities for Moriscos and contribute …


Ensaladas Calientes Y Carnero Verde: Imágenes De La Vianda En La Poesía Satírico-Burlesca De Francisco De Quevedo, Carolyn Nadeau Dec 2008

Ensaladas Calientes Y Carnero Verde: Imágenes De La Vianda En La Poesía Satírico-Burlesca De Francisco De Quevedo, Carolyn Nadeau

Carolyn A Nadeau

Este artículo analiza la identidad social y la historia culinaria a través de las imágenes de la vianda en la poesía satírico-burlesca de Francisco de Quevedo. Específicamente, los poemas de Quevedo, «Matraca de las flores y la hortaliza», «Boda y acompañamiento del campo» y «Los sopones de Salamanca», junto con los recetarios contemporáneos de Granado, Hernández de Maceras y Martínez Montiño muestran que la carne se privilegia por encima de la hortaliza; el carnero, por encima de la vaca; y que las ensaladas no se consumían en el círculo social más alto. Basándonos en la noción de la capital cultural …

Carolyn A Nadeau

From Amazon.com: Women in the Discourse of Early Modern Spain addresses the important methodological and conceptual issues surrounding the lives, works, and representations of women in the literature of Early Modern Spain.

The essays move beyond the theme of women and literature in Early Modern Spain to reassess the economic, legal, political, and religious systems that articulate the parameters of women's access to power and self-determination in the past as well as in the present. Written by internationally …


Women Of The Prologue: Imitation, Myth, And Magic In Don Quixote, Carolyn Nadeau May 2002

Women Of The Prologue: Imitation, Myth, And Magic In Don Quixote, Carolyn Nadeau

Carolyn A Nadeau

From Google Books: Women of the Prologue: Imitation, Myth, and Magic in Don Quixote I examines the significance of the sources cited for female characterization in the prologue and their relationship to Cervantes's writing style. When the anonymous friend suggests that Cervantes include Guevara's Lamia, Laida, and Flora; Ovid's Medea; Homer's Calypso; and Virgil's Circe as models for specific types of women, he not only foregrounds the significance of these classical women for the female characters in the text, but also partakes in the controversial debate of the value of imitatio at the historic juncture of Humanist and Modernist perspectives …
