The BREAD IN LANGUAGES PROJECT

A call for cooperation

Respected colleagues,

 

We would be very grateful if you could help us professionally. Now we are doing research on the etymological and semantic meaning of the word bread in the languages ​​of the peoples of the world. Words and concepts have their own paths (as well as detours), sometimes unfathomable connections, through which we discover accumulated experience, because no word, like life itself, is unequivocal. 

 

Your help in the form of a short text about the etymology and meaning of the word bread in your language would mean a lot to us. For example: English- bread comes from the word to break, but it is also used in the meaning of money, family breadwinner, etc. The Turkish word for bread - ekmek also means to sow, etc. Albanian word for bread - boca means mouth full of food, etc.

 

We have been researching the history and culture of bread for more than three decades. The project was started in the mid-nineties of the last century as part of the international research European Food Project within the European Institute for Cultural Policy and Art Research (ERICarts) from Bonn (Germany). In the meantime, the Project on Bread received the status of an International Program.

 

With respect,

Mr. Dimitrije Vujadinovic, author of the project

Expert of IGCAT (International Institute of Gastronomy, Culture, Arts and Tourism, Barcelona)

Bread Cultural Heritage

LA CULTURE DE PAIN  

Bread is one of the greatest discoveries of human beings! There is no doubt that Bread is the most present food at table wo

rldwide. But, Bread is not only food, it is a symbol of spirituality and reflection of cultural traditions. The secret of Bread lies in its true gastronomic, spiritual and cultural uniqueness. Religious Breads are present in every period of human life, from birth to death, end even after death. The story about  Breads is a story about the ethical and symbolic life of humans which has always been actual! Because of that this story should not be forgotten! 

Bread and Culture - World's Heritage is envisaged as a mosaic programme of research, information and educational projects, taking also into account the symbolical role Bread plays in our religious, cultures and everyday life. With those aims in mind we started to work on various long-term projects. 

The programme is officially a subsidiary  project of the "European Food Project" of ERICArts (European Research Institute for Comparative Cultural Policy and the Arts) http://www.ericarts.org/web/projects.php?aid=62&al=&rid=999.
