The performance of food has become ubiquitous in the digital realm,
where we find content saturated with all things culinary, gustatory,
and gastronomic. From food porn images to restaurant reviews, from
what-I-eat-in-a-day-videos to cooking shows, from mukbang to forum
posts with food advice – people negotiate and display their food
practices online, to be consumed and regurgitated by others via their
digital devices. This is often based on co-occurring linguistic
performances, interweaving food, language, and digital practices into
consolidated acts of meaning. “Digital P(a)lates: The Language of
Online Food Practices” is an international conference bringing
together scholars working on linguistic and discursive aspects related
to digital food practices. The aim of the conference is to encourage
dialogue between the manifold approaches to digital food performances
and to provide a platform for the investigation of the public
fascination with food online – and how this is constituted via
linguistic resources.
