I could let me old APness slip in and break it down in it's ways those times are things I don't like, so I'll stick to the more simple version of it, I like it, the whole food-art idea is great, and I myslef have been caught in awe of it's beauty before too.
great paper lady, the example of chicken soup being extended as a symbol of affection was really very interesting, i had not concidered it in under that context before; very true though. But with the line "The entire food aesthetic experience incorporates the visual, olfactory, tactile, AUDITORY, and taste senses" i can think of a few ways inwhich auditory senses could be linked to food, but i dont know if it would translate to art, could you give an example? enjoyable reading my dear..
The auditory aspect is the weakest, but it does add to the aesthetic experience of eating a good meal. Additionally, some foods have a more intense auditory aspect. For example, some Japanese soups and meals are intended to be slurped, that's a big part of the experience. Also, I know some people are very big on associations and food. My roommate Shannon wont eat grapes because of the sound they make when she bites into them (like the sound of teeth breaking the skin) and well... I happen to enjoy that sound. It can really add to things (or subtract).
first off, rockin paper. i seriously just read it all in a completly objective manner, actually trying to poke a whole in it. I was going try and nail you on the communicative property of food, but it looks like you realized that would be a tough point to make, and put extra effort into defending the idea, so really i can't put up a counter argument
( ... )
I'm really glad to hear that you 1) enjoyed it and 2) found it hard to counter. I got an email from my professor yesterday saying he didnt get it and it was too bad since he already put in our grades...
I was like what....
So I emailed him back saying um I sent it... its in the dropbox please check
and he emailed me back today and was like "oh, I thought I had disabled dropbox as an option... I found 2 others in there. I loved your paper it was insightful, balanced and researched, an A paper by all means"
