520 $a This dissertation examines food and eating in nineteenth-century novels and material culture in order to examine the alimentary metaphors through which nineteenth-century America visualized and managed racial difference.
520 $a I argue that the shifting economics and gender ideologies of the nineteenth century worked to produce the kitchen as a site of literary production from which body discourses not otherwise utterable from other spaces in the home could be spoken, written about and enacted. Closely tied to a cultural fascination with the mouth, a site in the body that can represent vulnerability, aggression or the desire for communion, nineteenth-century writing about food became a privileged site for the working through of anxieties related to the vulnerability of physical and domestic spaces to intimate congress with the other.
520 $a As an oral act, eating, and therefore food, is forever tied to the production of language, to storytelling, and in particular, to the performance and construction of vernacular idioms and identities. I theorize eating as an act that is profoundly epistemic. Eating reveals the self as non-atomic and social, as interdependent with the world outside the outer limits of the body; as such, images of eating are often about the ways in which subjects cross social and political lines to experience that which is outside their social location. Eating transcends the gap between self and other, subject and object; simultaneously, images of food remind us of the fleshliness---the meatiness, even---of the body and infer a materiality outside of the social. Thus, eating and food discourses become privileged sites for the representation of, and fascination with, those bodies that are seen to exist at the limits of sociality.
520 $a In Chapter One I discuss the kitchen as a space associated with orality, the vernacular and with cross-class and cross-racial confrontation; Chapter Two examines the representation of black bodies as edible objects in antebellum novels including Uncle Tom's Cabin and Our Nig; Chapter Three looks at the biopolitics of diet and race in Sylvester Graham lectures and Louisa May Alcott's adolescent novels, and Chapter Four examines racial impersonation and theatricality in trade card advertisements for food products in the postbellum era.
