<br>Dear all,
<br>
<br>We kindly invite papers for our upcoming panel: Meeting Food and ‘fooding’ – encounters between well-known and surprising qualities of food.
<br>
<br>Nordic STS Conference
<br>13 - 14 June 2019, Tampere University, Finland
<br>
<br>https://events.uta.fi/nordicsts2019/session-meeting-food-and-fooding/
<br>
<br>Organizers:
<br>Heather Paxson, Interim Head and professor, MIT Anthropology Faculty
<br>Kasper Ostrowski, Ph.D., Aarhus University, CC
<br>
<br>Abstract:
<br>We encounter food every day. In various settings, in multiple versions and with a wide array of consequences and affordances. Food is both a necessity and a choice. In this session, we will investigate the ‘orderings’ of food (Latour, 2006; Law, 1994); the multiple ways, in which we ‘meet’ and practice food. What is present, emerging, made available, - and/or excluded through metrological work? (Callon et al., 2002) How, when and where? Food and foodstuff have recently taken the centre stage in our public domain. In a Nordic setting, the once frozen grounds of the cold north seem to be thawing out. Notions of origin, terroir and place-specific food and produce are gaining increasing interest in Scandinavia. Both food as a gerund - fooding - and the changing foodscape is and has been prone for STS based inquiries (Eg.:Mol, 2014; Paxson, 2016).
<br>
<br>Practicalities:
<br>We encourage Food focused STS scholars, geographers, statisticians and others with interest in food research to explore and perform food encounters – in particular we encourage creative presentations, including tastings, short movies, performance lectures and the like.
<br>
<br>The session will be orchestrated by professor Heather Paxson, MIT and Ph.D. Kasper Ostrowski, AU. It will be hosted by Kasper with Heather somehow present as ‘non-present participant’.
