ITALIAN 304: POLITICS AND MASS CULTURE

Professor Torlasco

TTh 11:00-12:20P

This course will explore the role that mass media have played in shaping Italian political culture from the end

of World War II to the present. In particular, we will focus on the 1948 general elections, which were heavily influenced by the Cold War; the global upheaval of 1968; the turmoil of the 1970s, the so-called Years of Lead; and the rise to power of Silvio Berlusconi, the media tycoon

and populist politician who has prompted more than one comparison with Donald Trump. While drawing from

the fields of cultural and media studies, we will analyze how film, television, and social media have

simultaneously reflected and constructed our sense of belonging to a political community. Finally, we will pay specific attention to questions of gender and sexuality and to the ways in which spectacle and politics have joined forces at different junctures in Italian history.

ITALIAN 350: FOOD ART AS COUNTERCULTURE

Professor D’ayala Valva

MWF 11:00-11:50A

In this class, the student will be introduced to an alternative approach to the history of modern and contemporary art, in its

relation both to material culture and to aesthetic taste. Food art is proposed for both its craftsmanship (food as an ingredient/artistic material) and its subversive potential (challenging the traditional hierarchies of the senses, of artistic genres and the spaces of art production and display). Great attention will be given to artists’ writings (manifestos, interviews, recipes, diaries) documenting the theoretical aims and the everyday practice and trials with

food since the Manifesto of Futurist Cooking (1931) through some significant case studies (Fluxus, Feminist art, Beuys) to today’s

farming and relational art projects.

Through lectures, class discussions, readings, films and individual research projects, students will have the opportunity not only to explore an important aspect of art history, but also to be aware of the role of food as ‘counterculture’, seen through the opposition to

or the acquisition of different models.
