The Theme:
For its 5th Annual
Conference, Juris Diversitas revisits its culinary origins, expressed in the
logo. The links between law and food are as old as the concept of law. Babylon,
Egypt, Greece, and Rome cared about access to water resources and food, whether
it came to trade or protection. Since times immemorial, Bhutan makes sure every
citizen has access to a minimal acreage of land to secure food for the family.
Whilst religions multiplied food prohibitions and prescriptions, customs
redistributed land, shared its occupancy in creative ways, or favored communal
property so that everyone had access to food. Laws have multiplied to
facilitate food trade, security, safety, traceability, and also to promote and
protect food and wine production, using trademarks and geographical
denominations. In addition, the language of food and cooking offers legal
thinkers and teachers mouth-watering metaphors, comparing rules to recipes, and
their combination to culinary processes.
All law related food topics,
whether liquid or solid, vegetal or animal, real or symbolic, tasty or toxic,
old or new, home-made or industrial, fast or simmering, whether connected or
not to the environment, sustainable development, climate change, literature,
art, science, faith, beliefs, or any dimension of human experience may be
revisited in an interdisciplinary perspective from the moment they intersect
with rules, norms, or prescriptions of all kinds. You are invited to cook and
share food for thought at every possible level, past, present, and future,
local, regional, and global, topical and utopic, and feed at a two-day and a
half worldwide intellectual banquet in a truly unique culinary capital of
Europe.
Submissions:
Panel proposals and
interdisciplinary presentations are strongly encouraged, as is the
participation of doctoral students and scholars from outside of the discipline
of law. While parallel sessions featuring three presentations of twenty-minute
each will be the pattern, more creative arrangements are encouraged.
Proposals
should be in English or in French. Proposals of circa 250 words
(or 1000 words for panel proposals with three or more speakers) should be
submitted to Professor Salvatore Mancuso at : jdlyon2017@yahoo.com
by January 31, 2017, with a short biography paragraph listing
major or relevant publications. Make this a single Word document with minimal
formatting, so that proposal and biography can be copied easily into the
conference program.

payment information is available on the Juris Diversitas Blog (http://jurisdiversitas.blogspot.com/). Note
