The difference between addictions and habits is that addictions are destructive, whereas habits are life sustaining. Two central vectors -- food and love -- shape the architecture of our daily lives as habits or addictions. This roundtable invites contributions from critical theorists, interdisciplinary thinkers and practitioners to address the divergences between habits and addictions from theoretical as well as practical perspectives focusing on two central yet under-theorized vectors of food and so-called love. This takes place at the Northeaster Modern Languages Association Conference (NeMLA) in Philadelphia this year: March 6-9th, 2025. We'd love to see you there!
