A taste of home. Food, identity, place and memory in Europe from a historical perspective (19th-20th centuries

By investigating the way these concepts are constructed and the way they interact, this conference wishes to tackle issues that involve food and drink, foodways, recipes and cuisines, and their relationship with place (household, city, region, nation), identity (regional, class, ethnic,…) and memory from a historical and European perspective. The main focus concerns the feelings and consequences of temporal and geographical displacement in relation to real and imagined ‘home(s)’ during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
