Global Humanities, a biannual, interdisciplinary, and peer-reviewed journal in the humanities that is now available for open access (https://altija.com/global-humanities/) is calling for paper proposals for Volume 6, which will deal with food porn, a phenomenon mostly related to social media and the idea of sharing images of food with friends and the broader world.

The phenomenon of food porn offers multiple approaches for the humanities, why we are interested in, but not limited by, the following topics:

 

  • food porn semiotics
  • food porn identities
  • food porn practices
  • food porn and class consciousness
  • historical perspectives on food porn (pre-social media)
  • food porn and social media

 

Scholars interested in submitting a paper are requested to send a short proposal (max. 300 words) and a one page CV until March 30, 2018 to FJacob@qcc.cuny.edu and francescom@gmail.com Final articles, ranging from 6,500-10,000 words, including footnotes (latest Chicago Manual of Style for notes) are expected by May 5, 2018.
