>> Food and History: Health, Culture, Tourism and Identity
>>
>> University of Central Lancashire, Preston, 29 June - 1 July 2006
>>
>> 'Food and eating practices are at the centre of the new concern in
>> western societies about the body, self-control, health, risk,
>> consumption and identity' (Deborah Lupton). This international,
>> interdisciplinary conference, organised by the Faculty of Health and
>> Department of Humanities at the University of Central
>> Lancashire, seeks
>> to explore these issues in original ways and in historical
>> perspective
>> through plenary and parallel sessions. It brings together
>> methodologies
>> drawn from the humanities and the medical sciences to interpret and
>> challenge current myths about the history, production and
>> consumption of
>> food and to explore the roles of taste, texture, and technology in
>> constituting identities and marketing experiences in this
>> sphere. Within
>> this framework a strand dealing with the relationships
>> between tourism,
>> food and history will run through the conference, under the
>> auspices of
>> the International Commission for the History of Travel and Tourism.
>>
>> We invite papers which address physiological, psychological and
>> political aspects of food, health, history, tourism and identity, as
>> well as examining issues relating to food production, regulation and

>> whether these focus on literature, film, television or the arts.
