Meeting Description:

Panel Organizers: Daniela Cesiri (“Ca’ Foscari” University of Venice, Italy),
Francesca Coccetta (“Ca’ Foscari” University of Venice, Italy), Katia Peruzzo
(University of Trieste, Italy)

Theme and Purpose: Food is an important means for human societies not only
because it provides nutrition but also for its socializing function. The
rituals accompanying its preparation and consumption have always favoured
social bonding in any kind of human civilization. Indeed, communication about
food and nutrition is omnipresent in our daily life and, in more recent years,
it has proceeded through both traditional and new media. The former includes
printed cookbooks, TV and radio shows, while the latter exploits the
affordances of digital channels such as YouTube, social media, virtual tasting
experiences through websites, food blogs, etcetera. In this context, culinary
experts, chefs, and amateurs contribute to shape the message, thus acting as
both creators and receivers of food-related content. This, in turn, includes a
certain degree of interaction among the participants in the communicative
situation (e.g., in food blogs or in social media). The responsibility of the
creators of the message in this case lies in the correct transmission of
specialist knowledge as well as in the accurate conveyance of culture-specific
elements that are usually associated with certain dishes or culinary
traditions.

The panel seeks to explore the possible pragmatic implications of
communication focusing on food preparation and consumption. Particular
attention will be paid to the exploration of the ways in which digital genres
manage to make local, culture-bound concepts and/or traditions related to
food, ensuring the transmission of culinary knowledge and the preservation of
local cultures and food-related habits.


Call for Papers:

Papers to be included might deal with food-related communication in one or
more languages, investigating digital genres as well as linguistic or
discursive comparisons of traditional vs. new media. We welcome methodologies
that include, but are not limited to, corpus-based pragmatics, pragmatic
implications of discourse analyses and critical discourse analyses, multimodal
pragmatics, pragmatic implications in the translation of food-related texts.
The papers can include combinations of qualitative and quantitative methods,
as well as synchronic and diachronic perspectives. Potential research
questions might include: what are the pragmatic factors that mostly shape and
influence communication about food? How is communication about food and
nutrition shaped, both verbally and visually, in different communicative
situations and cultures? Do translation and language contact have an impact on
communication about food and nutrition? Are there any stereotypical or
innovative representations of food in either original or translated
communication?

Please submit your abstract through the conference webpages by November 1st
2022. For further instructions, please see
