The theme of the >>>conference will be: The Moral Fabric in Contemporary Societies. The >>>congress will examine the crucial dilemmas of the emergent globalized >>>social order in the perspective of the key intellectual, social, and moral >>>challenges. The globalization of agriculture and food production raises >>>many moral and ethical issues. This is an opportunity to have one or two >>>sessions devoted to such concerns. We might explore topics such as: >>>attitudes towards the environment, landscapes and, nature, in general; >>>the dilemmas reflected in the competing frames: ?food for profit versus >>>food for people?; problems of malnutrition and hunger in many regions of >>>the contemporary world; the impacts of biotechnology on agricultural >>>production; the relationship between an increasingly globalized food >>>production system and the retail networks that confront local agrarian >>>producers, salesmen, and cultures. Eastern and Central Europe is an >>>especially interesting region from this point of view insofar as >>>fundamental political, social and economic changes are readily >>>associated with relatively new but dramatic pressures from global capital. >>>The sessions would be an occasion to make a first hand comparison of >>>this European region with other developed and developing regions of the >>>world. >>> >>>Therefore we would like to invite those interested in the problems >>>mentioned above to participate in the session during the congress. This >>>is an not only an opportunity to have a meeting under the auspices of RC >>>40 but also to visit the lovely city of Cracow and Jagiellonian University, >>>one of the oldest universities in East-Central Europe. Anyone interested >>>is kindly requested to send an abstract of his/her contribution (not more >>>than 300 words) to: >>> >>>Krzysztof Gorlach, local RC 40 representative, Jagiellonian University, >>>Institute of Sociology, ul.
