Activity: Participating in or organising an eventOrganising a conference, workshop, ...

Description

This two-day conference, supported by the Irish Humanities Alliance (IHA) and the UCD Humanities Institute (University College Dublin) seeks to explore the role that food plays in transnational fictional and non-fictional literary works, film, and visual arts. Narratives of food and belonging are vehicles for expressing cross-cultural interactions through the languages of nourishment. The sensory aspects of food consumption, such as taste and smell, contribute to reflect the complexity of cultural hybridity and often become metaphors of positive encounter and/or contamination.
