Episode 8

As we track Bloom's wanderings in this lunchtime episode, we consider the relationship between food and power. We talk about food imagery, colonialism, animals, and class, and how the violent binary of “Eat or be eaten” breaks down in Bloom’s memory of his picnic with Molly on Howth Head. In conversation with us are Matthew Hayward, professor at the University of South Pacific, Fiji, Sebastián Maldonado-Cano, literature major from Texcoco, Mexico, and Mark Bloomberg, film maker from Brooklyn.
