Locating Italianicity Through Food and Tourism: Playing with Geographical Associations

Food is a highly performative expression of Italianicity, and is reproduced, transformed, reified and contested through flows of mobility and globalisation. This chapter aims to explore the scalar geographical associations\u2014particularly the \u2018local\u2019 and the \u2018national\u2019\u2014that connote Italianicity as it emerges in food performances in the context of tourism. The discussion begins by examining the construction, circulation and consumption of food of local origin in tourist food shops, followed by scrutiny of how retailers are open to scaling this geographical frame of reference to the national level in order to meet tourists\u2019 demands for iconic products. This playful scalar entanglement also includes framing or achieving a compromise with foodways that may or may not be consistent with food manners branded as Italian. Italianicity emerges as a \u2018mobile technology\u2019, something that is not only multi-scalar but also one that is bounded and unbounded, fluid and fixing, territorialising and de-territorialising. As such, it should be taken into account when developing transectorial synergies between food and other key sectors of the \u2018Made in Italy\u2019 brand

Critical Food Pedagogy and Sustainable Development

Edited by Walter Leal, this encyclopedia serves as a tool to support universities across the world to implement sustainable development in higher education in a number of key areas, spread over 5 Sections: 1. Policy-making, visioning, structures, management and strategies 2. Teaching, learning and competencies 3. Research and transformation 4. Campus greening, design, operations and carbon impacts 5. Students and stakeholders´ initiatives and involvement The encyclopedia will be of special interest to administrators and managers at higher education institutions; academic staff (e.g. lecturers, professors, researchers); technical staff and students. Also, other groups working outside higher education, but interested on the theory and practice of sustainable development, will find its contents useful.Food pedagogy is the fusion of food-related content and experiential process as one co-occurrence. Coupled with the critique of, and solutions to food related issues, society forms power relations that serve as the foundational underpinnings of critical theory. The combining of food pedagogy and critical theory equates to critical food pedagogy
