| Research Abstract |
I major as a Germanist in intercultural studies-a fusion of literary studies and cultural studies, throwing an objective light on 'food'. Food rituals in modern and postmodern urban civilization is to investigate the relationship between the changes resulting from urbanization and those of the deeds, symbolism, mentality and aesthetics surrounding 'food', mainly on the basis of the reading of literary works. My research of this is worthy of attention and it contributes to the understanding of the changes to the social environments in the age of globalization.
