FOOD and interdisciplinary research are the central focus of the 1st International Conference on Food Design and Food Studies: Experiencing Food, Designing Dialogues, reflecting on interdisciplinarity as not limited to the design of objects or services, but seeking awareness towards new lifestyles and innovative approaches to food. Albeit the social sciences, through Food Studies researchers, have continuously looked for how food influences and shapes society, there is a growing interdisciplinary interest in Gastronomy, similarly to Design, where more projects try to solve problems related to different food systems. Worldwide academia and media are currently discussing examples of these Design processes around food and this emerging phenomenon: Food Design. Design, Gastronomy and Culture interact at different levels and shape the food production, communication and distribution by valuing and bringing to life aspects much wider than the mere question of feeding as an act of survival.
In Portugal, there has not been much research on the relationship between Design and Gastronomy; hence the relevance of pairing the enormous attention given to restaurants and chefs, researchers and professionals with the impacts of Food Design. Additionally, a new sense of social responsibility emerged, where chefs and designers react to face the challenge of a positive change in the paradigm of food. The latter only recently looked at food and food services from different perspectives, developing and applying new theories, as food became the focus of the various areas of Design – either from Graphic Design to Product Design, or from Architecture to Communication. Numerous aspects influence such a relationship between food and Design, since Chefs use Design techniques and tools to create new dishes, experiences, and services, even if they are unaware of it.
Food systems are at their maximum resource capacity and designing new ways of thinking about food will possibly bring a different approach to generate sustainable solutions. Accordingly, food production professionals have developed a desire to share knowledge about food, creating new communication networks open and accessible to everyone, where ideas can be freely expressed through creativity, innovation, experimentation and dissemination. Ultimately, rising consumer awareness about economic and social matters on food production – as a response to recent globalism, a concern for the environment or a practical solution to local economic development – brought Design Thinking to the core of many of these issues.
International Food Design and Food Studies Conference 2017
Experiencing food: designing dialogues
October 19-20-21, 2017
Lisbon, Portugal
www.experiencing-food.com
1st Call for Papers until 15 March 2017
2st Call for Papers until 31 March 2017
The Estoril Higher Institute for Tourism and Hotel Studies, the Faculty of Architecture | University of Lisbon, the School of Arts and Humanities | University of Lisbon and the University of Beira Interior invite researchers, chefs and designers from all scientific areas to submit original papers for presentation at the 1st International Conference on Food Design and Food Studies, Experiencing Food: Designing Dialogues.
The International Conference on Food Design and Food Studies, 2017, Experiencing Food: Designing Dialogues emerges as a forum where researchers, chefs and other professionals in the food industry can collaborate with designers and researchers to present food research and experiments on food for an international audience.
It is intended to be a meeting between Design and Food, seeking to explore the relationship between food and design, the processes and the people who are researching and influencing this new territory, looking for how Food Design and Food Studies will contribute to the future of food.
This event is intended for academics in the area of Food Design and Food Studies to interact with industry professionals, chefs and designers. The proposed format tries to facilitate collaboration between design specialists with different scientific areas (communication, product, events, architecture, psychology, sociology and others) and food production managers and professionals.
We are calling for papers on the following topics:
Food Design and Food Studies:
The organizing committee of the 1st International Conference on Food Design and Food Studies, Experiencing Food, Designing Dialogues, invites designers, architects, gastronomy researchers, artists, chefs and other creators to participate in the conference through a temporary exhibition taking place during the conference – 19, 20 and 21 October 2017.
The theme of the exhibition will be Experiencing Food, Designing Dialogues, since it will focus on the most diverse forms of food design.
How can we build dialogues between food and other disciplines besides gastronomy and cooking?
Projects can be edible products, objects of use or communication, spaces, processes or services relating to the food universe. We welcome participants who present their projects regardless of being prototypes, projects in progress, concluded or commercialized.
The selected projects will be part of an interdisciplinary and collective exhibition, open to the conference participants of the 1st Conference of Food Design and Food Studies, Experiencing Food, Designing Dialogues, taking place at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Lisbon, 19-21 October 2017.

‘Reading a book is like re-writing it for yourself.
And I think all fiction should be open-ended.
You bring to a novel, anything you read.
All your experience of the world.
You bring your history and you read it in your own terms’.
(“The Company of Angela Carter” 1985)
These words, by one of the most unusual and talented writers of the 20th century, eco a concern with simultaneously sabotaging and invigorating past experiences, since for Angela Carter (1940-1992) texts are intrinsically self-dismantling and open to new readings.
Just as writing is as creative as reading – ‘I am all for putting new wine into old bottles, especially if the pressure of the new wine makes the old bottles explode’ (“Notes from the Front Line” 1983) – we are working on a more original (re)reading of The Bloody Chamber (1979): gastronomically.
This widely known collection of short fiction by Carter offers the possibility of reading her as a post-modern fabulist reimagining fairytales – “she felt that she was extracting the latent content of the original tales, not creating clever new modern takes on them” (Edmund Gordon 2017). Accordingly, the choice of this collection tones with Carter’s own description of herself as a ‘demythologiser’ and our interpretation of her enquiring, controversial and beguiling nature defined the challenge now suggested to previous students of the MSc in Innovation in Culinary Arts (ESHTE) to perform this second multisensory experience, where guests may perceive the literary work from a distinctive (re)interpretation. The idea that we all perceive the same reality is an illusion. From the individual perception, we can translate stimulus that allows for the reconstruction of reality.
As previously, this will be a unique moment which reflects creatively a way of receiving literature through gastronomy. You may have a glimpse of the sensory experience (part I) which took place at the Estoril High Institute for Hotel and Tourism Studies (ESHTE) in May 2017, through a TV news (), journalistic pieces (SAPO & Alexandra Prado Coelho), guests’ feedback and learn more about the project Receiving | Perceiving English Literature.
