Abstract

"In Eating is an English Word Annemarie Mol works in collaboration with other scholars to build off of previous work focused on eating's application in theory to think more linguistically about eating as a theme in the English language. Considering the idiosyncratic connotations of eating as an English word, the contributors to this collection push back against the universality of language. By examining non-English equivalents of the word from languages such as Dutch, Portuguese, German, and Spanish, the book's chapters contemplate eating's verbal and physical meanings, as well as the pleasures that accompany it. Moreover, in using eating as an example of analytical difference, Eating is an English Word explores the capabilities of language within research fields and practices. Eating thus becomes a vehicle for reorienting the act of valuing towards appreciation instead of judgment, creating a deeper form of engagement for academic conversations"--
