  3.00 Credits

  Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

  
  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.

• ARH 336: PARAGONE: RIVALRY IN THE ARTS

  3.00 Credits

  Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

  
  Paragone is an Italian term that means comparison. But the significance of ''paragone" more closely resembles our English word of competition. "Paragone" references the phenomenon of artistic rivalries that began in the 15th century in Italy and applied, not only to artists as they competed for commissions and patrons, but also to whole genres in which competition took place. A few examples of such are: painting vs. sculpture, art vs. poetry, Leonardo vs. Michelangelo, and Michelangelo vs. Bramante. This class considers the history of artistic rivalry beyond the Renaissance, looking at the origins of competition before the early modern period, as well as modern examples in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The course will investigate the way competition has both spurred and hindered artistic production throughout the ages, as well as the complicated philosophical issues that plague it. A range of media will be considered across a number of geographic and temporal localities.
