ARH 0312 - FAST FOOD FOR THOUGHT: ITALIAN FUTURIST ART AND CUISINE

Institution:

Rosemont College

Subject:

Description:

Speed, travel, life in the fast lane of the new industrial city, and the changing dynamics of new technology informed and propelled Italian Futurism, the early twentieth century avant garde movement. The Futurist Manifesto of February 1909, which appeared on the front page of the French newspaper, Le Figaro, shivered with enthusiasm for a new language in all of the arts: visual arts, music, literature, theatre, film, and cooking-a reflection , after all, of historical and sociological issues portrayed in modern Italian literature from the early 1900's on. This course will investigate the artistic ideals that inspired the Futurists to create their vision of modernity, and, as well, the "Futurist Cuisine" of the artist, critic, founder of the movement, and cuisinier, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. He hoped his "extreme eating experiences" would shock Italians into a futuristic world. Cooking will be included in the course. ARH 0176 is preparatory but not required.
