Dear all,
The deadline for submitting your paper abstracts for the EASA2018 in
Stockholm is fast approaching: 9 April 2018!
This is a reminder to contribute a paper to our panel "New Urban Food
Practices and the Senses in the City" here:
https://nomadit.co.uk/easa/easa2018/conferencesuite.php/panels/6507
*Short Abstract:*This panel aims to explore the relationship between food
and the senses in urban and peri-urban contexts, with a particular focus on
how these food practices and senses have been reshaped in recent years
through an increasing mobility of both people and produce.
*Long Abstract:*Food nourishes our bodies and minds: through sharing and
shifting into different social, physical, symbolic and sensual spaces, it
creates and maintains social relations and distinctions, embodying various
social, cultural, and moral values. Food settles in cities in novel ways:
with trends including urban gardens, health food shops and freegan
movements to street food, food trucks and food delivery.
This panel aims to explore the relationship between urban food practices
and the senses. Studies of food practices and the senses provide insights
into how the city and its dwellers are being reshaped, and demonstrate how
food, memory and materiality connect past, present, and future imaginaries.
We ask how city and food practices co-produce each other? How are social
relations and distinctions reproduced and reshaped through newly-introduced
and diverse cooking styles? What role do the senses play in the production,
preparation, and consumption of food? How do particular foods evoke
memories of home or the past for new arrivals or provide a means of
understanding 'the other' for people who stay put? How do sensorial aspects
from community gardens, shared meals or ritual feasts foster new
communities? In uncertain times, what food practices stay, go, or return
revised and how are these remembered? How do smells and tastes of food
accompany life transitions?
Recognising that the food/sense/space nexus can be difficult to represent,
we welcome contributions using innovative and creative approaches to
explore urban experiences and perceptions, such as performative papers,
visual narratives, or audio papers.
We look forward to receiving your papers!
Best wishes,
Roos Gerritsen (Heidelberg University), Grit Wesser (University of
Edinburgh), and Ferne Edwards (Trinity College Dublin)
