Travel, Travel Writing and Food colloquium
organised by
Nottingham Trent Centre for Travel Writing Studies &
Centre for Research on Nationalism, Ethnicity and Multiculturalism,
University of Surrey
Trinity College, Oxford
31st March - 1st April 2006
(Friday - Saturday)
The fourth colloquium on Travel and Travel Writing will take food as its
theme. We will be focusing on the ways in which:
* Travel writers negotiate food as a crucial and intimate sign of
social and cultural difference
* How food has been represented historically and in the contemporary
world in terms of sensuous pleasure
* How food has been understood in terms of 'civilised' and 'savage'
societies and the exotic
* The etiquette of dining acts as a prime theme within travel texts
* Writing about food is a commentary on class difference and also
shaped by class
* Travel writers understand the local's revenge through food
* The body of the writer enters travel accounts
