Call for Papers: Food and War Food, Culture, and Society Issue: Spring 2007
(vol.10 #1)

Food, Culture, and Society is the official journal of the Association 
for the
Study of Food and Society (ASFS). ASFS is a multidisciplinary international
organization. Its members approach the study of food from numerous 
disciplines
in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences, as well as in the world of
food beyond the academy. FCS is published three times a year by Berg 
Publishers:

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired
signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not 
fed,
those who are cold and not clothed.”
Dwight D. Eisenhower

“War is a beastly business, it is true, but one proof that we are 
human is
our ability to learn, even from it, how better to exist.”
M.F.K.Fisher

Historically, war has been both an agent of destruction and a catalyst for
innovation. We invite essays that look at the myriad ways that war has 
affected
food production, distribution, and consumption. Some sub-topics include:

-the provisioning of military personnel and civilian war workers
-the agro-ecological effects of warfare
-government food policies during wartime
-how military needs have affected food technologies
-civilian adaptations to wartime deprivation
-inequities in wartime food consumption
-the impact of occupying armies on local foodways (and vice versa)
-cultural representations of food and war
-wartime food propaganda
-food, war, and the body

Approaches may incorporate a variety of fields, including literature, film,
visual and performing arts, historical studies, and the social sciences. 
And for
the sake of perspective and comparison, we especially welcome articles 
that look
at non-western and pre-modern case studies.
