Catalan Christmas: Nourishment in Catalan Literature

Abstract

[ENG] First of all, the subject of our meeting has plunged me into severe meditations. Nourishment! Should I begin by talking about manducatory archetypes, about sexual and digestive descent, about the digestive scheme or the system of the pork? How should we centre a subject which is so familiar, so well known and, after all, so trivial, on our favourite level, namely that of the imaginary. Everyone would certainly rub his hands.
