“Tables des hommes” collection

Tables des Hommes is a collection set up in partnership between the IEHCA and the Presses Universitaires François-Rabelais (the University of Tours press) and the Presses Universitaires de Rennes. This collection provides human and social science perspectives on food and ‘food culture”, seeking to throw light on how people relate to food

The purpose of this collection, which reflects the University of Tours’ interest in these issues, is to publish new work of various kinds (conference proceedings, symposia, seminars, and theses) and to translate foreign language works whose quality has had a lasting impact on this field of research. The aim is to disseminate academic scientific knowledge, which is often difficult to access despite the public authorities’ and general public’s growing interest in this topic.
