  The object of exhibition: architecture on show 2

  Cette journée d’étude sera l’occasion de créer le lieu de cet échange de points de vue et de compétences afin de favoriser une approche pluridisciplinaire de notre objet d’étude. Ainsi, suivant les réflexions menées dans le séminaire, les contributions provenant d’horizons divers seront privilégiées. Nous serons particulièrement sensible aux propositions provenant d’artistes qui expérimentent un rapport à l’architecture et de chercheurs qui s’y intéressent, ainsi qu’à celles qui seront portées par des scénographes, des responsables d’institutions culturelles et des commissaires d’expositions.

  The French culinary model: dissemination, adaptation, transformation and opposition worldwide (17th - 21st centuries)

  In discussing the history of food, to evoke the prestige, reputation and influence that French cuisine has enjoyed for centuries is to state the obvious. However, the ways in which the French culinary model has spread, and the price paid in terms of profound adaptation and transformation, have not been the subject of a comprehensive study. As one author, writing on early modern Europe, put it, "The extent of the influence of French cuisine on the rest of Europe is […] a future area of research, the complex workings of which have yet to be analysed in depth". While isolated, local studies are of course available, the time has come to take a fresh look at the question and construct a global and synthesised picture. This is the aim of the conference.
