PresentationRegistration is now open for this year&#8217;s ESNA Conference&#160;Food, glorious food:&#160;Food at the heart of nineteenth-century artJune 8-9, 2017:&#160;Antwerp, Museum Aan de Stroom (MAS)Organized in conjunction with the exhibition&#160;ANTWERP &#192; LA CARTE&#160;at MAS in Antwerp, this year's international ESNA symposium intends to study how the development of the food industry and the changing notion of &#8216;taste&#8217; and social mores are reflected in nineteenth-century art in the broadest sense.ArgumentThis year&#8217;s two-day international ESNA conference intends to study the various and complex relations between food, the experience of eating, and nineteenth-century art. Although food has always been a subject in the arts, the modes of production, distribution and consumption of nourishment changed radically during the course of the nineteenth century. Food decisively entered the public sphere and consciousness in cities where new sites of consumption in the form of mouth-watering food shops and restaurants emerged. At the same time food became a marker of national identity, of gender identity, of &#8216;taste&#8217;, of affluence, and of social and economic status.Modern phenomena such as industrialization, liberalization of the market, urbanization, rise of the middle class, issues of nationality and gender, leisure time and economic upheaval affected the gastronomic field as well as the depiction of it in the visual arts. A new fascination for food emerged and was reflected in the entire panoply of the artistic field, ranging from recipes, food literature, decorative arts and interior design to works of art and art criticism. This conference unravels how the development of the food industry and the changing notion of &#8216;taste&#8217; and social mores are reflected in nineteenth-century art in the broadest sense.Registration feesRegular: &#8364; 60 (both days) | &#8364; 40 (1 day)Student: &#8364; 40 (both days) | &#8364; 25 (1 day)Tickets are available via the&#160;RKD webshopProgrammeDay 1 &#8211; Thursday 8 June10.30 REGISTRATION / COFFEE &#38; TEA11.00 Welcome by Mayken Jonkman (RKD) and Leen Beyers (MAS)11.10 KEYNOTE LECTURE&#160;&#8211; Food Visibility and Urban Identities&#160;&#8211; Peter Scholliers | Professor and Head of the Department of History, Free University of Brussels11.50&#160;SESSION 1.
