La complejidad de los sistemas alimentarios, desde la producción hasta el consumo,  y sus efectos en distintos ámbitos requieren que se analice desde diferentes perspectivas. El análisis antropológico ha sido una alternativa que ha ido generando datos para comprender dicha complejidad, aunque al mismo tiempo se han planteado nuevas preguntas. En la sociedad contemporánea, la globalización, la expansión de la distribución y el consumo, la seguridad alimentaria, las formas de producción y sus efectos, así como la convivencia de la obesidad con procesos de hambre y desnutrición, multiplican los retos de la investigación sobre las formas de producir, distribuir, preparar y consumir los alimentos.

 

Objetivos: Reunir a reconocidos investigadores de los aspectos socioculturales de la alimentación, desde la producción hasta el consumo, para presentar los avances de investigación, generar un espacio de intercambio académico, definir líneas de investigación pertinentes, establecer redes de colaboración interinstitucional a nivel nacional e internacional.

 

En diversas instituciones de México y con distinto grado de avance se hacen estudios del proceso alimentario desde la antropología social. En este momento, quiénes estamos trabajando en el área requerimos hacer grupos de investigación interinstitucionales para aprovechas las experiencias y los recursos con los que contamos. Es una idea compartida que es un área que tiene un gran potencial, genera interés y puede aportar conocimientos útiles para las políticas y programa de alimentación, nutrición, salud y desarrollo social. Sin embargo, hasta ahora no ha habido un espacio que nos reúna a todos.

 

Áreas temáticas:

-        Producción de alimentos y desarrollo rural sustentable

-        Cambio continuidad de las dietas tradicionales ante la globalización

-        Alimentación, cultura y salud: entre la obesidad y la desnutrición.

-        Efectos sociales de la patrimonialización de las cocinas locales.

-        Crisis económicas y reorganización de la alimentación familiar

-        Soberanía y seguridad alimentaria

 

Formato:

 

2 días de conferencias en el auditorio de la UAM-X, para integrar a toda la comunidad universitaria y público en general.

1 día de seminario con participantes escogidos: ponentes extranjeros, investigadores de otras instituciones mexicanas participantes, estudiantes de posgrado. Esta reunión se pretende que sea en la Casa Galván de la UAM en la colonia Roma.

Food, Drink and Hospitality: Space, Materiality, Practice

Friday 14^th June 2013, 10-5pm, British Sociological Association Meeting Room, London

Organised in conjunction with Oxford Gastronomica, Oxford Brookes University, The British Sociological Association’s Food Study Group and the Hospitality & Society Journal.

Key dates:

Deadline for submission of abstracts: Thursday 28^th of February 2013

Deadline for registration of presenters: Friday 26^th of April 2013

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 14^th of June 2013, Suite 2, 2 Station Court, Imperial Wharf, Townmead Road, Fulham, SW6 2PY. Please follow this link for directions and travel advice: http://www.britsoc.co.uk/media/25083/BSA_Imperial_Wharf_directions041209.pdf

The cost of the event, which includes lunch and refreshments, is: £45 (Standard) and £35 (Students and BSA members). Participants can register online:http://shop.brookes.ac.uk/browse/extra_info.asp?compid=1&modid=2&prodid=81&deptid=27&catid=34

Please send initial expressions of interest or enquiries to Peter Lugosi (plugosi@brookes.ac.uk). Those wishing to present a paper at the workshop should send an abstract, approximately 500 words in length, to Peter Lugosi by Thursday the 28th of February 2013. Presenters of accepted papers should register by Friday the 26th of April 2013. Colleagues around the world have asked whether they could present via Skype and we will consider holding one or two presentations using this format.

Contributors will be invited to submit full versions of their papers to a future edition of the Hospitality & Society Journal: http://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/journals/view-Journal,id=194/view,page=2/

The Canadian Association for Food Studies is hosting a full-day pre-conference open to all students, postdocs and emerging researchers (including new faculty, sessionals, and  community-based researchers). The pre-conference will be divided into two streams and participants are encouraged to choose the stream that fits best with their stage of work and their interests (participants must choose only one stream). To participate in this pre-conference you must register on the congress website (registration begins January 2013). If you are interested in participating in Stream 2 you must also submit a proposal by March 31, 2013 (see attached for the Call for Proposals).

Stream 1 – Participants in this stream will engage in a series of participatory, discussion-based workshops facilitated by leading food studies researchers. This session tentatively includes the following consecutive workshops:
● Mutually supportive advisor-student relationships (Stephane McLachlan, University of Manitoba)
● Teaching, learning and doing food studies  (Steffanie Scott, University of Waterloo and Lenore Newman, University of the Fraser Valley)
● Interdisciplinarity and diversity within food related research (Aleck Ostry, University of Victoria)
● The impact of research beyond the academy (Marjorie McDonald, University of Victoria)

*Stream 2 – Participants in this stream will engage in a collaborative writing process to produce an edited collection for publication. Participants in this stream must submit a proposal by March 31, 2013 and are encouraged to explore collaborations in advance. The session will include:
1 Facilitated workshops on collaborative publishing (Hannah Wittman, University of British Columbia) and collaborative research (Patricia Allen, Maylhurst University).
2 Interactive workshops to develop collaborative writing projects.
3 Updates and discussion about the process for developing an edited collection for publication.

*Note: To participate in Stream 2 you should be willing to commit to working with one or two other participants to develop a manuscript over the next year, for publication in an edited collection. Please see the Call for Proposals (attached) as a requirement for this stream.

Registration is limited for both streams.
