*Call for Papers*



Philosophical enquiry has enriched our understanding of hospitality –
providing intellectual legitimacy to its study while broadening interest in
the topic (Barnett, 2005; Derrida, 2001; Dikeç et al., 2009). However this
has led to abstract re-conceptualisations of hospitality and a tendency to
use notions of hospitality to view relations at national, regional and city
scales rather than at the level of everyday micro-geographies involving
transactions of food and drink. Moreover, this body of work has tended to
treat philosophical debates surrounding hospitality and society separately
from commercial practices. Meanwhile, academics concerned with commercial
hospitality have largely ignored abstract philosophical debates and
perspectives. Several studies have attempted to create links between
abstract and more mundane, tangible conceptions of hospitality and between
its social and commercial manifestations (Bell, 2007; Germann Molz and
Gibson, 2007; Lashley et al., 2007; Lugosi, 2009; Lynch et al., 2011) and
this event seeks to build on this emerging body of work. We invite
colleagues to explore the complex interactions between food, drink and
hospitality, and to make explicit connections between the abstract and
philosophical dimensions of hospitality and its material, embodied and
sensual practices. We are keen to develop cross-disciplinary dialogue and
we encourage contributions from colleagues working in sociology,
anthropology, geography, history, philosophy, cultural and media studies,
gender studies, business and management, design, literary studies, health
and nutrition and psychology, as well as related fields.



We welcome empirical and theoretical works adopting a variety of different
theoretical approaches and methods, including, but not limited to:
Ethnographic, Symbolic Interactionist, Actor-Network Theory, Discourse
Analysis, Visual Methods, Phenomenological, Post-Colonial, Critical Theory
and Gender Studies Perspectives. Papers may examine historical and
contemporary contexts, and comparative, cross-cultural studies are
particularly welcome. We strongly encourage contributions from emerging as
well as established scholars, and the presentation of works-in-progress as
well as more advanced studies.



The event will take place at the *British Sociological Association’s London
Meeting Room* on *Friday 14th of June 2013*, Suite 2, 2 Station Court,
Imperial Wharf, Townmead Road, Fulham, SW6 2PY. Please follow this link for
