Drawing on exciting new developments in the emerging field of Food Studies, this course will explore the dynamic intersections between food and a host of cultural, social, and political issues. Employing a multidisciplinary approach in a variety of media including art and literature, the course invites students to consider such issues as the intimate relationships between food and territory, food and cultural expression, and the role that food played--and still plays--in shaping the Italian identity. We will discuss, for example, the Slow Food Manifesto and its politics in relation to globalization and localization. We will also use food as a means for examining the interaction among immigrants and locals and the construction of new identities in today’s multicultural Italy. Authors under consideration include Barthes, De Filippo, Meigs, and Wadia; also the filmmakers Moretti and Vanzina. The course is taught in Italian. Class size: 15
