ARH 322 - VISUALIZING FOOD AND EMPIRE

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Art History

Description:

This course will survey the visual representations of food from a global perspective beginning with ancient cultures through the contemporary period. Food appears as a lens for understanding the formation of a modern world system including the rise of empires and a global marketplace, but also grounds us in local traditions and identities according to the environment and belief systems. This course considers the origins, influences, theories, processes, and manifestations of art connected with food, either conceptually or materialistically. In addition, this course offers a deeper understanding regarding the construction of appetites, gastronomy, consumption, and presentation in the visual and performing arts.
