About the event

Join us for the third research seminar organised by the new modernist research network Digestive Modernisms, an informal interdisciplinary network based in Edinburgh, bringing together researchers, artists, and writers interested in the gastronomics of modern literature and life.

Digestive Modernisms are interested in  food, diet, and gut health in modernist literature, art, culture, and philosophy, taking an approach that is informed by the medical humanities, food studies, animal studies, the environmental humanities, and posthumanism, among other critical contexts.

For this seminar, we'll have two speakers discussing ‘Individual health management in nineteenth-century France’:

  1. Alison Downham Moore (Western Sydney University)
  2. Manon Mathias (University of Glasgow)
