Call for Proposals 2024

Journal of Food and Culture of the Americas (RACA)

The Journal of Food and Culture of the Americas invites researchers to submit scientific articles for its next issue. The issue will be dedicated to contributions that dialogue with the article published in RACA, entitled “Trajectories of the Anthropology of Food in Brazil”.

The article analyzes the evolution of academic production on anthropology of food in Brazil since the 1990s, based on the observation of papers presented at the Brazilian Anthropology Meetings, highlighting the changes in focus, from issues of identity and food transformation to the significant and more recent presence of studies focused on sovereignty and food and nutrition security. The article also highlights the importance of an interdisciplinary approach, especially the dialogue with the field of nutrition, and the need to think about food in its cultural and social context.

We invite contributions that nuance and expand this debate, bringing new perspectives on the trajectories of the anthropology of food in Brazil, Latin America and beyond, as well as other related topics that reflect on food culture, especially in the Americas.

Deadline for submission: November 30, 2024
