phenomenon.
DESCRIPTION
Street food is a topic of interest among scholars, planners and policy makers
throughout the world, both because of its growing importance as a global social
phenomenon, as well as the diversity of forms that it takes in different localities.
The proliferation of street food and its implications for social, economic, health,
juridical and urban phenomena require thorough analysis and discussion. The
practice of eating in the streets brings together interest in a complex array of
topics, from health and food safety, to tourism and food heritage. Street food can
be observed as a major urban issue, but also as an emergent space that promotes
human conviviality. Contemporary street foods include new global gastronomic
trends at the same time that they can be observed as a mean to preserve
traditional cuisines.
With these considerations in mind, the purpose of this conference is to create an
open space of dialogue and exchange on the subject of street food, as an
important contemporary social, economic and political phenomenon.
The organizers invite papers which describe, analyze, contextualize, and explain
issues related to street food in contemporary society, under the following topics:
