Colloque international
Du mercredi 21 mars 2018 au vendredi 23 mars 2018 à 9h00 (heure du Caire), IFAO
The international conference on food and drink in Egypt and Sudan throughout history
Mennat-Allah El Dorry
Partenaire(s) de l’Ifao : PCMA, Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology Research Center in Cairo
The Institut français d'archéologie orientale and Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology Research Center in Cairo are organising an international conference on food and drink in Egypt and Sudan throughout history, focusing on the continuity and innovations that have occurred at times of change.
Whether political, religious, cultural or environmental, drastic transformations have often left their mark on food. They affected available ingredients, how they were prepared and consumed, and even people’s attitude towards certain items. The conference will aim to question notions of continuity in both Egyptian and Sudanese cuisines, focusing on shifts observed in food and drink as a result of times of transitioning.
Presented papers will not only cover a wide geographical and temporal range, but are interdisciplinary, highlighting the diverse methodologies and datasets that can be used to study food and drinkways.
By including both Egypt and Sudan together, the meeting will allow scholars to reflect on (dis)similarities on continuities and traditions between these neighbouring countries.
Registration at foodconference2018@uw.edu.pl
Deadline for registration March 7, 2018
On the margine of the conference, Professor Salima Ikram, Distinguished Professor of Egyptology at the American University in Cairo, will be giving a public lecture on the subject of “Feasts Fit for Pharaohs: Food and Drink in Ancient Egypt” at the IFAO, Wednesday, 21st March, 2018 at 6 p.m.
