Reading
Anita Mannur, “Introduction”, Intimate Eating: Racialized Spaces and Radical Futures, Duke University Press, 2022. 1-21.
About the text
The book explores how social worlds are formed, mediated and sustained through forms of eating while recognizing that different forms of sociality structure the experience of eating. Drawing on critical ethnic studies and queer studies, Mannur traces the ways in which people of color, queer people, and other marginalized subjects create and sustain this belonging through the formation of “intimate eating publics.”
*Anita Mannur is an Associate Professor of English and Asian American Studies at Miami University in Oxford, where she teaches classes in Asian American and Ethnic literature, as well as queer theory. Her work delves into the exploration of food and culinary culture within the realms of Asian American and Diaspora Studies, literature, and popular culture.
Mai Ling Reads 15 will be held in April 2024.
Mai Ling, as an artist collective and association, emerged from the necessity of creating a collective platform where experiences of intersectional discrimination could be articulated together. At the Volkskundemuseum Wien, various Mai Ling projects will be explored through field research, readings, and gatherings. All these activities will be archived and mapped within a dedicated space that revolves around a gradually expanding soup bath installation to nurture kinship, community, and dialogue among Asian-descent FLINT* and beyond.
