Italian cuisine is often recognized as one of the finest in the world. This one-credit course will offer an exploration of Italian food cultures past and present. Discussion topics will include the Slow Food Movement, the tension between local and global, and the representation of food in literature, film, and the media. The course is taught in English. No knowledge of Italian is required, but those who can read in Italian will have an opportunity to do so. Everyone will learn some Italian words and expressions. This class may be combined with AS.211.238 ['Made in Italy: Italian Style in Context'] and AS.211.258 ['Italy Off the Beaten Path'] to count toward the Major or the Minor in Italian.
