The multidisciplinary field of Food Studies explores relationships among
food, culture, and society.  Drawing on diverse theoretical and
methodological approaches, scholars have produced significant new research
over the past two decades ranging from everyday food practices, the
gendering of feeding families, and the phenomenon of food television to the
relationship of food to
nationhood.
	
Performance studies has much to offer to contemporary food studies, and this
special issue will encourage and highlight the relationship between food and
performance, and food as performance.  We encourage essays that will attend
to food as a
complex system of performance practices and epistemologies.  We are
particularly interested in essays that consider the performative and
aesthetic aspects of food that also incorporates the "mixings" of race,
class, power, sex, and sexuality with
politics, history, and contemporary performance culture. Such topics could
include but are not limited to food as narrative, the performance of
cooking, eating as ritual, and consumption and sex.  Manuscripts from a wide
range of interdisciplinary,
theoretical, and methodological perspectives, including rhetorical,
feminist, ethnographic, performative writing, psychoanalytic, and
historical, are encouraged.

Manuscripts should be prepared in accordance with the MLA Handbook for
Writers of Research Papers, 6th ed. (2003).  To facilitate the blind, peer
review process, no material identifying the author(s) of submitted
manuscripts should appear anywhere

telephone and fax numbers, and email address; (c.) any acknowledgments,
including the history of the
