Workshop organisé par le CEAFJP et soutenu par PSL dans le cadre de la Chaire CEAFJP/Air Liquide 2017.
This international workshop, to be held at the EHESS, France, draws inspiration from the European designation of 2018 as the Year of Cultural Heritage and the recognition of intangible cultural heritage. Food, at once material culture and an expression of those lived traditions known as intangible cultural heritage, has served as a topic for much scholarship on larger themes such as heritage, cultural politics, and the role of the state. This theme connects to issues of food sovereignty and the right to food, as well as developments in global health, from the renewed attention traditional diets have received in the face of diseases and health problems like diabetes and obesity to the recognition that societies can suffer from a “double burden” of overnutrition and undernutrition. This workshop will also engage recent methodological and theoretical approaches such as multi-species ethnography and the Anthropocene, which have drawn our attention to the fraught interdependence of plant, human and non-human animal, and microbial lives and the food that sustains them.
