The third Seminar "Food and Traditional Cultural Expressions" and the International Symposium II "Food and Culture: Tradition and Innovation in Production and Food Consumption" will take place at UTAD between 24 and 26 May 2016. It is organized jointly by the CETRAD, Transdisciplinary Research Centre for Development, the CITAB, Research Centre and Agri-Environmental and Biological Technologies, the GRUPAM, Research Group on Food and Cultural Events and GEPAC, Study Group and Research in Food and Culture.
This event aims to broaden and to follow up on a project initiated by professors and researchers integrated in the Brazilian research centres: GRUPAM and GEPAC.
The event aims to reflect on the challenges facing those with the responsibility for the conservation and development in the production and consumption for many traditional foods as well as the traditional daily cultural and gastronomic occurrences. In this sense, we will discuss the role of research and teaching based on new methodologies and the relevance of this theme as an object of study, understood as essential in recent decades.
The recognition of the issues surrounding the production and consumption of food, either through traditional means, as innovations and by traditional celebrations associated with the production and consumption refer not only to food, but also to the acknowledgement of vivid and active personalities, that have required a new intellectual position of research professor. The meeting is therefore, a privileged space for 1) discussion of new insights about the production and consumption of food; 2) identifying new trends and different forms of know-how, lifestyles and appropriation of the space; and 3) different perspectives on the contribution of food, nourishment, gastronomy and cultural events to the construction of the territory identity.
