Situated at the intersection of nature and culture, food becomes a powerful tool for meaning-making through language understood in its broadest, multimodal sense. Food rhetoric uses linguistic, visual, and symbolic strategies to shape identities, emotions, communities, and political discourses, while food systems carry ecological, economic, and social consequences. The CfP invites interdisciplinary contributions on various topics that explore how food and language together construct social realities and political agendas.
