| ITALIAN (W25) | 50 ITALIAN FOOD | DI MAIO, F. |
| Italian Culture - Food The idea of Italy is inextricably tied to great food. And food has always been an essential element of Italian culture. This course will focus on how food shaped and continues to shape Italian culture and identity. In particular, the course will explore the historical, economic and social factors that are “inside” the most traditional Italian dishes. In so doing, the course will de-construct the Italian meal, trying to shed light on the relations between origins and identities. Sources considered are: family memoirs and cookbooks; political programs; food representations in the arts (paintings, music, literature and cinema.) The course will also look at Italian American cuisine and its key role in shaping hybrid identities in the new world. Offered in English. No knowledge of Italian is required. Fulfills GE IV and VIII. Instructor: Dr. Fabrizio Di Maio | ||
| ITALIAN (W25) | 150 ITALIAN LITERATURE | SHEMEK, D. |
| Italian 150 Imagining Italy: The Grand Tour and Beyond Professor Deanna Shemek The tradition of spending an extended period in Italy goes back at least to the Renaissance, but it was in the 17th and 18th centuries that such journeys became a cultural rite of passage for young European elites (and even wealthy North and South Americans) who embarked on what was called the Grand Tour. Travelers arrived in Italy with their servants, their chaperones, their sketchpads, and their notebooks to spend months or even years there. They also carried with them romantic ideas and a wealth of stereotypes about Italy, the Italians, and Mediterranean culture more generally. In this course we will read about the journeys of travelers who undertook the Grand Tour, examining both the insights and the cultural clichés that these experiences fostered, and how historical events helped shape travelers’ views. We will also compare those earlier journeys with more contemporary ones, as recorded in fiction, journalism, films, and websites about Italian tourism, and consider the phenomena of study abroad and mass tourism today. | ||
