ITAL 10.06 The Culture of Food in Italian Literature, 1300-2013

Food and flavors pervade Italian literature, expressing the historical hunger of a social class, the nourishment of the spirit, or simply the pleasure of the senes.  Through various texts and genres from the Middle Ages to the present, we will examine the culture of food and its social and symbolic value through the centuries.  This course will be conducted entirely in Italian and will have an interactive format.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
