CFP Communicating Scotland Through Food: From Devolution to Possible Futures. Deadline for abstract and bio: 15 October 2023.
Editors: Ashli Q. Stokes, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, USA; and Ana Tominc, Queen Margaret University, Scotland
In this call, the editors are looking for abstracts for chapters that address the question of Scottish representation through and around food from devolution (1999) to contemporary and current visions of the future. As Scotland increasingly differentiates itself politically and economically, we ask what foods define Scotland as a UK “sub-nation,” and how this communicative work helps distinguish it from England, the rest of the UK, and Europe. This volume specifically focus on the role of media, language, and communication broadly in shaping Scotland’s vision about itself and others, addressing a notable gap in discussions around Scotland’s relationship to food. The discussion is designed to contribute to the growing understanding of the role food plays in Scotland’s past, present, and future. The book offers a perspective that may help shape future discussions around the important connection between food and the question of “national” identity in health, political, economic, and other communication.
