In order to conduct the work of reflection and > discussion which is essential to the success of this ambitious and > complex programme, we have considered it necessary to devote two > study days to the subject of > > ‘Compiling a food heritage inventory: existing knowledge, methods, > and perspectives’. > > These study days will take place on 30 November and 1 December 2009 > at the François Rabelais University (Tours, France). They will go > beyond the strictly European context and be interested in the > notion of a food inventory without any geographical restriction. In > fact, we thought that this widening of the scope of the study was > necessary so as to prepare future inventory programmes which could, > in particular, be organised within the field of North/South > collaboration. > > Behind the explicitly worded triple themes, several possible > avenues of research are to be considered: > > - Contributions from researchers who have taken part in the same > kind of initiative would be greatly appreciated, whether they share > their experience, give a review of their activity, or comment on > any difficulties - organisational, financial, or scientific - that > they encountered. > > - More generally, all contributions dealing with a critical > analysis, an inventory, or different existing inventories will be > welcome. > > - Contributions concerned with the processing and exploitation of > data provided by this type of inventory will have a place here. > Subjects would be, for example, heritage conservation, > environmental impact, and economic and tourist implications > > - Contributions from researchers who come from and/or specialists > of regions where no inventory work has been carried out. This > information will permit the consideration of each area’s specific > characteristics, whether these be assets or handicaps (Research > facilities? Existing heritage policy?). > > - Contributions dealing with the way in which the establishment of > international cooperation can help in the carrying out of this type > of programme. > > Of course, this list is far from being exhaustive, and all > suggestions will be considered. > > Proposals in French or in English, accompanied by a summary of a > few lines and a provisional title, must reach us before 1 > September.
