ABSTRACT
The research on the reception of a literary work by English authors until the contemporaneity within the project Receiving|Perceiving English Literature in the Digital Age has led to a more original (re)reading of The Bloody Chamber (1979): gastronomically. This widely known collection of short fiction by Angela Carter offers the possibility of reading her as a post-modern fabulist reimagining fairytales, a ‘demythologiser’. Accordingly, it was our interpretation of her enquiring, controversial, and beguiling nature that defined the challenge posed to the students of the MSc in Innovation in Culinary Arts (ESHTE): to perform two distinguished multisensorial experiences in 2017, where guests perceived the literary work from distinctive creative (re)interpretations. The idea that we all perceive the same reality is an illusion and from individual perception we can translate stimuli which allows for the reconstruction of reality.
