We would like to invite you to the "Rewilding Food and the Self" conference that we are organizing on Thursday September 28 at The American University of Paris. Please find the program below.

This conference 鈥� and the听听on which it is based 鈥� aims to decipher a movement towards the wild, which is at the origin of a new food narrative enjoining us to rewild ourselves for health reasons, but also and perhaps above all for moral and political considerations. We'll be talking about the romanticization of the past, the commodification of nature, self-optimization, and nutritional primitivism. The field surveys to be presented and discussed 鈥� in English and French 鈥� have been carried out in six European countries, and cover such topics as the consumption of game meat, the revival of fasting, the market for "natural" wine, and the urban gathering of edible plants.

The event closes with a tasting of 'wild wines'! It's all free, but you'll need to register听here听and show proof of identity to gain entry to The American University of Paris (6 rue du Colonel Combes, 75007).
