International workshop on the history of cocoa and chocolate<br>
<br>
<br>
Date and venue: Chocolate museum Cologne, 28 -29 October 2010<br>
<br>
The history of chocolate, its production and consumption is a<br>
fascinating and important part of our modern economic, social and<br>
cultural history. Since the arrival of the cocoa bean in Europe in the<br>
early 16^th century its products have shaped the pattern of consumption<br>
and enjoyment.<br>
<br>
Today it is hard to imagine a life without chocolate in the western<br>
world. The industry has acquired a central position in some European<br>
countries. In Germany the chocolate industry had a turn-over of 4.4<br>
billion Euros in 2008 and in Switzerland 1.2 billion Euros. Indeed,<br>
Switzerland has had the highest per capital consumption with 12.4 kg,<br>
closely followed by Belgium, Britain and Germany.<br>
<br>
Chocolate is not only a mass product but life-style. Within the last few<br>
decades multiple new products have been created, which on the one hand<br>
draw on the indigenous cultures of America. On the other hand a new<br>
culture of chocolate consumption has emerged which manifests itself in<br>
chocolate festivals, exhibitions and chocolate shops or
"chocolateries".<br>
Medicine has also rediscovered chocolate. Big international research<br>
programmes have been undertaken on the health supporting properties of<br>
the flavanols or polyphenols in the cocoa beans.<br>
<br>
While chocolate has become the relish of the masses, the history of<br>
chocolate has been neglected in historical research for a long time.<br>
Only within the last few years a certain change can be seen. A few<br>
publications have come out either on the history of single companies or<br>
on particular aspects.<br>
<br>
However, since the arrival of the chocolate in Europe it has experienced<br>
a profound change. It was turned from an Indian hot drink to a solid<br>
chocolate bar and truffles followed by a variety of new product<br>
variations. In the regions of origin it has also had a deep impact on<br>
the production methods and working conditions.<br>
<br>
The cultural and economic changes shall be subject of an international<br>
workshop on the history of chocolate. Proposals are invited on any<br>
aspect of research relating to the history of chocolate including the<br>
following themes:<br>
<br>
1. Areas of cultivation and production methods<br>
<br>
2. Development and organisation of the cocoa trade<br>
<br>
3. Technical innovations and product innovation (transition from craft<br>
to industry)<br>
<br>
4. cultural innovations specific patterns of chocolate consumption and<br>
rituals, chocolate china etc)<br>
<br>
5. Working conditions on the plantations and in the European chocolate<br>
manufactories)<br>
<br>
6. Enterprise and marketing<br>
<br>
7. Chocolate and health<br>
<br>
The conference languages will be English and German<br>
<br>
<br>
*Deadline* for submission is 31.Oct. 2009<br>
<br>
<br>
The workshop will be co-organized by the Chocolate Museum Cologne,<br>
Rheinisch-Westfaelisches Wirtschaftsarchiv Cologne and Historisches<br>
Seminar II, University of Duesseldorf<br>
<br>
