Dear Colleagues,
The International Review of Social Research (www.irsr.eu) seeks for articles for a special issue on food and culture to be published in May 2016.
We are interested in an extended spectrum of research themes, mostly including: food, identity and social change, food heritage and culinary practices, marketing and food markets, quality of food and health issues, the
politics of food production and consumption, food security: issues of
quantity and quality, food safety regulations and standards, etc.
Some
possible topics of the articles can be related to food and group
identity: food as manifestation of cultural origins and influences food
as transmigration, diaspora and de-colonialism, food and ritual, the
histories of food; repasts of the past, food at the interface with class
and culture, and so on.
This special issue of the International Review of Social Research addresses
the scholars from these disciplines in particular, with no
discrimination between different schools and approaches. We intend to
open the debate for interdisciplinary exchanges of ideas and to
facilitate crossroads between different disciplines such as
anthropology, ethnology, sociology, history etc.
The journal will
also welcome work from the full range of methodological positions
possible today: both quantitative and qualitative, and micro- and
macro-level research. Specific methods such as interviews, surveys,
questionnaires, ethnographies, documentary sources, textual analyses,
participant and non-participant observation will be welcome.
The
editors kindly request authors to send papers (4,000 – 8,000 words in
length) together with an abstract of no more than 200 words, to the
following address: anda.becut@culturadata.ro until February 29th, 2016. Prior to submission, please check author guidelines at http://irsr.eu/instructions.html.
