Abstract

This book collects 17 contributions by scholars and experts interested in the study of anorexia nervosa (AN) and eating disorders (ED) in different research fields (among others, Linguistics, Psychology, and Neuropsychiatry). All the contributions will be presented at the upcoming IPAN (Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Anorexia Nervosa) conference, a one-day event that will be hosted in Bologna on May 26, 2023, by the Department of Classical Philology and Italian Study - University of Bologna (Italy), in collaboration with RaAM (Association for Researching and Applying Metaphors). The conference aims at fostering multidisciplinary exchange about research on AN and, more in general, on ED. With this volume we want to mash up ideas and research methods of experts, scholars, and students from different theoretical and experimental backgrounds, this way providing an environment for dialogue and integration.
