Plano de investigação

The research proposal is to analyze the dietary patterns in the novel “O Tempo e o Vento” by Érico Verissimo, thinking about the dietary patterns identified as elements in the process of cultural formation in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, southern region of Brazil, given the importance of food and eating practices in the cultural, social and economic formation of a population. Furthermore, the investigation aims to contextualize the society portrayed in the work, as well as the identification of foods, preparations, kitchen utensils, handling and obtaining of food and their relationship with the formation of regional identity.
