A Milano-Bicocca EXPO 2015 Summer School
EATING WALKING THINKING. FOOD ON THE MOVE
15th - 21st June 2015
Program Directors:
Marina Calloni - Professor in Social and Political Philosophy, University of Milano-Bicocca
Elena dell’Agnese - Professor in Political Geography, University of Milano-Bicocca
Description:
The Summer School Eating Walking Thinking (EWT) is hosted by the Department of
Sociology and Social Research of the University of Milano-Bicocca (Unimib) and is organised in
collaboration with 14 renowned external partners.
EWT is focused on the cultural “construction” of food as a dynamic construct. The way we eat is
the result of a complex and multifaceted cultural process, entangling different traditions, places and
cultures as well as new attitudes towards nutrition, heal and sustainability. The prismatic and
mobile dimension of food needs thus to be considered from different angles, disciplines and spaces,
in order to understand (starting from daily practices) those radical changes, which are nowadays
affecting lifestyles and collective identities at the both local and global levels.
Communities develop their preferences towards specific kinds of food and cooking. Cultural
inclinations are determined by a changing interaction between food supplies, customs,
consumerism, social environments and global transformations. Rules concerning feeding are also
due to taboos and practices related to convictions about the values for a “good life”. Indeed, food
behaviours are influenced by socio-economic and cultural factors as well as by religious and ethical
conceptions. Food is not only a physiological instrument but also a cultural need.
Lectures based on philosophical, historical, anthropological, economic, social, geographic and
cultural analyses in the morning will be followed in the afternoon by guided tours and visits to the
Expo site, museums, botanic gardens, farm productions, religious sites, exhibitions, art cities,
centres of excellence, which support a new culture towards feeding/ healing. A cultural,
gastronomic and artistic tour in the region Piedmont will be organised in the weekend.
Rethinking food means to consider the multifaceted components, which determine the “final
product” we eat, walking and meeting different social actors, who are interested in the
improvement of the quality of life and the development of human capabilities, feeding and
respecting the planet.
