UPCOMING EVENTS

Food cultures in Europe: everyday words and gestures
CALL FOR PAPERS
3-5 October 2024

The French-speaking working group of the International Society of Ethnology and Folklore (SIEF) will organize its IVth Conference (jointly with the XXXIVth Conference of the Eurethno Network, a French-speaking network for scientific and technical cooperation in ethnology and European historiography of the Council of Europe) from October 3 to 5, 2024 at the West University of Timisoara (Romania). The call for papers covers the following theme:
“Food cultures in Europe: everyday words and gestures”
Previous conferences of the French-speaking Working Group have mainly focused on festive foods and diet specific to calendar rituals. It seems interesting to broaden this topic and this time focus on daily life to compare food cultures on a European scale. The preferred themes will be as follows:

  • Food cultures in Europe,
  • Daily diet,
  • Words and gestures in food cultures,
  • Traditions and innovations in food cultures,
  • Food and material culture: objects and museums.

Deadline: 31 March 2024

IInd Conference of the SIEF Francophone Working Group

This comparative, self-reflexive and critical workshop would like to deepen the analysis of time and temporalities in Europe, an analysis which had already been undertaken in several previous workshops of the Eurethno network. The focus of this workshop, first based of ethnology and cultural anthropology, is also open to the points of view of other disciplines (history, geography, archaeology, art history, sociology, cultural studies, philosophy, religious studies etc.).
