This Introduction addresses the issue of culture itself as a source of nourishment. Food will thus be discussed as a metaphor conducive to a multidisciplinary approach to learning and creative processes, as in Dante’s «Convivio» knowledge is, precisely, a form of nourishment. Accordingly, we will approach culture not only as a refinement of the individual, but as an all-encompassing strategy for producing meaning, touching on every aspect of human life: from rituals to the arts, from historical self-representations to forms of popular culture, and to the contemporary re-negotiations of material habits in our consumerist societies.
Il contributo rappresenta l'Introduzione al Volume «Cultura come cibo», che è nato dall'idea di sollecitare umanisti di diversa estrazione, letterati, antropologi, etnologi e filosofi su una riflessione che avesse come tema la centralità stessa della cultura, la sua capacità nutritiva, per riferirsi alla metafora del «Convivio» dantesco.

Abstract
This Introduction addresses the issue of culture itself as a source of nourishment. Food will thus be discussed as a metaphor conducive to a multidisciplinary approach to learning and creative processes, as in Dante’s «Convivio» knowledge is, precisely, a form of nourishment. Accordingly, we will approach culture not only as a refinement of the individual, but as an all-encompassing strategy for producing meaning, touching on every aspect of human life: from rituals to the arts, from historical self-representations to forms of popular culture, and to the contemporary re-negotiations of material habits in our consumerist societies.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
