5th ANNUAL CONFERENCE

Law & Food
La cuisine juridique
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 FEBRUARY 28, 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.
Registration Fees:
€200 or €125 for Juris Diversitas members paid
up for 2017. Membership and fee payment information is available on the Juris
Diversitas Blog (http://jurisdiversitas.blogspot.com/). Note that fees do not cover travel,
