ETNOFOOR anthropological journal
Call for papers: Taste
The next issue of ETNOFOOR will be dedicated to the matter of taste. Taste points literally and metaphorically to the flavour of life; taste is sensual connection. It concerns processes of communion through food, style or knowledge, all of which communicate social positioning and relations of hierarchy. As a verb, to taste means to undergo, to experience, to try; tasting is an active process of coming into contact, or being in contact, with things or ideas. As a noun, taste indicates processes of discrimination, of judgement regarding style. On a daily basis, people make choices about food, dress, opinions, and much more, that are based on private and subjective preferences of individual taste, and yet these decisions point to taste patterns that indicate socially binding standards of conduct. ETNOFOOR provisionally distinguishes three areas for the study of taste, although they intersect in many ways: taste in relation to the appreciation of food; taste as aesthetic preference; and the methodological implications of taste in ethnographic research. We are interested in papers dealing with the matter of taste from these various perspectives. See attachment.
