ABSTRACT

Gastronomic congresses have played a key role in opening a share reflection around the concept of gastronomy. Venues such as Diálogos de Cocina have included agents and disciplines that did not have a space in the traditional format of gastronomic congresses. Since the first editions, the proposal of this event has evolved and changed the focus from the public construction and the social notoriety of a specific profile (the chef) to the understanding of an ecosystem (gastronomy). The following research proposes a revision of three editions of Diálogos the Cocina (2011, 2019, and 2021). The analysis would be on how the addition and the interaction of human-nonhuman agencies have created new and complex definitions for gastronomy.
