Meeting Description:

The Organising Committee is happy to present the International
Conference on "Food x Language: adapting and representing food across
media and genres in English and in Spanish" ("Lengua y comida:
adaptaciones y representaciones de la comida a través de los medios de
comunicación y de los géneros textuales en inglés y español"). The
event will take place on 17th and 18th October 2024 in Ca' Bernardo,
one of the buildings hosting the Department of Linguistics and
Comparative Cultural Studies at Ca' Foscari University of Venice.

Call for Papers:

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. However, the
participants in communication about food and the ways in which this
form of communication happens vary according to several factors, which
include gender and age of the participants as well as their role and
status in society as well as the reciprocal relations they have with
the other members of a specific group. Traditionally, communication
about food has happened asynchronously through printed material,
however, new technologies and - in recent years - social media have
introduced a new element of interaction that has changed the way in
which food and foodways are narrated and constantly remediated between
individuals and social groups.

The two-day conference seeks to bring together scholars who conduct
their research on food-related communication. The focus of the
conference is communication involving English and Spanish, either
alone or in a contrastive perspective. Particularly welcome are
contributions that investigate the communicative strategies and
dynamics through which cultural elements connected to food-related
communication in these two languages and cultures are adapted using
several media and genres through which food is narrated and
represented. Socio-linguistic, socio-cultural, multimodal, and
linguistic approaches are especially welcome. We invite contributions
addressing the main conference theme as well as relating to the
following specific themes:

* food and/in communication strategies;
* food and/in social media;
* food and/in narratives;
* food and/in the news;
* food and/in politics.

Proposals should be sent no later than 30th June 2024 as email
attachments in .doc, .docx, or .rtf format. Abstracts should be in
either English or Spanish and should be no longer than 300 words
(references included). Prospective participants should also provide a
short bio note (no longer than 100 words). Emails should be sent to
food.language at unive.it – object of the email: "CONFERENCE FOOD X
LANGUAGE / LENGUA Y COMIDA - ABSTRACT PROPOSAL".
