Accommodation

The SIGA will take place on the campus of the Federal University of Pará (UFPA), in the auditorium of the Institute of Applied Social Sciences (ICSA), in the city of Belém. In November, the city will also host the 30th United Nations Conference on Climate Change – COP 30.

Due to this mega event, there will be an increased demand for accommodation in the second half of the year, including for pre-COP events.

Given this circumstance, we recommend booking accommodations as soon as possible. There is a wide range of lodging options, from traditional hotels to hostels. Additionally, short-term rentals are available through platforms like Airbnb and Booking.
 
Below, we present some accommodation options. The UFPA campus is located in the Guamá neighborhood and is connected to the neighborhoods of Batista Campos, Nazaré, Umarizal, São Brás, Marco, Campina, and Reduto. These areas offer good infrastructure for dining, lodging, and entertainment. The urban road network facilitates access from these neighborhoods to the UFPA campus.

Claude Fischler

As early as the 1970s, Fischler realised that food had been neglected and understudied by the social sciences. He set about developing a unifying "fundamental anthropology" approach, i.e. research that attempted to integrate both the unity and diversity of the human relationship with food, the social and cultural as well as the biological dimensions. He developed cross-disciplinary approaches to food cultures and their evolution, to eating behaviour, to medical vs lay perceptions of the relation of food and health and to the perception of risks associated with food. After his 1990 book « L’Homnivore », a synthesis on food and nutrition trying to bring together knowledge and questions from both the social and other sciences (then a first, still in print and, according to its Wikipedia entry, « a classic »), Fischler developed cross-cultural comparative studies on collective views of food and health in European and Western countries. Results showed considerable differences in eating patterns and attitudes, matching significant variation in prevalence of non-communicable diseases and obesity. Fischler also contributed to the field of well being and happiness, in collaboration with Daniel Kahneman and his team, again in a cross-national comparative perspective. His recent and current focus is on sustainable food systems and on the anthropology of commensality (sharing food, eating together – or not) and on a multi-country comparative project on what is perceived as traditional or modern in food across cultures. Fischler also published, among other works, a book on wine (Du Vin) and edited « Selective Eating: The Rise, Meaning and Sense of « Personal Dietary Requirements » ». He sat on various national and European level committees and boards, including the French National Program for Nutrition and Health (PNNS), the European Food Safety Agency and the board of its French counterpart.

Telma Shiraishi

Nascida em São Paulo, mas criada no interior, Telma Shiraishi largou a faculdade de medicina da USP por sentir falta de desenvolver seu lado mais artístico em múltiplos interesses, como flores, arte e animais. Na época, auge dos anos 90, Telma foi trabalhar como assistente do estilista Fause Haten e, com o tempo, começou a participar também das criações de coleções. Por fim, deixou também a moda e, aos poucos, foi migrando para a cozinha – pela qual realmente sentia paixão. Começou a fazer jantares e coquetéis para amigos e eventos, até abrir o Aizomê. O conjunto da obra rendeu à chef, que também está à frente da cozinha do Consulado do Japão em São Paulo, o título de Embaixadora para Difusão da Cultura e Culinária Japonesa, concedido pelo governo japonês. Telma é a primeira profissional brasileira e uma das raras mulheres no mundo a receber a honraria. O reconhecimento de seu trabalho também rende prêmios da mídia especializada. Sob sua batuta, o Aizomê foi eleito, por três anos consecutivos, melhor restaurante japonês pelo Melhor de São Paulo, guia especial do jornal Folha de S. Paulo, e a própria Telma escolhida como chef do ano de 2019 pelo mesmo júri – aqui também, a primeira mulher da história do veículo a carregar o título. Em 2021, a chef foi finalista no Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants 2021, na categoria Estrella Damm Chefs' Choice Award - Best Reinvention, por ter concretizado um novo Aizomê na Japan House São Paulo e por encabeçar o projeto social Água no Feijão, que já distribuiu mais de 250.000 marmitas desde a quarentena de 2020. Telma também foi eleita a melhor profissional de cozinha japonesa na premiação Melhores da Gastronomia da revista Prazeres da Mesa em 2022 e novamente em 2024. O nome da categoria inclusive precisou mudar quando Telma conquistou o prêmio pela primeira vez – antes chamava-se “melhor sushiman”. Atualmente a chef se dedica a explorar o tema de uma culinária nipo-brasileira, resgatando as histórias, os sabores e as adaptações de receitas e ingredientes que se fizeram necessárias nas várias regiões brasileiras que receberam as comunidades de imigrantes japoneses. O objetivo é registrar e valorizar o encontro das duas culturas, resultando em algo único e rico na diversidade e nos sabores, juntando o melhor do Brasil e do Japão.
