A New Culinary Culture in Colombia: Equality and Identity in the Interpretation of Traditional Cuisines
A New Culinary Culture in Colombia: Equality and Identity in the Interpretation of Traditional Cuisines A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Juliana Duque-Mahecha May 2017 © 2017 Juliana Duque-Mahecha A New Culinary Culture in Colombia: Equality and Identity in the Interpretation of Traditional Cuisines Juliana Duque-Mahecha, Ph. D. Cornell University 2017 Abstract Cooking responds to this double entendre of a past that is collected, interpreted and then projected on to a present that then overcomes it. New food trends necessarily imply questions about social and cultural equality and identity. That which is novel is exciting and refreshing; it implies learning and broadening boundaries, which are often geographical and social and always cultural. However, the process also entails the inherent challenge to define and answer what is lost and valued in a new scenario and to understand to what purpose. Some categories that have been used to understand such historical processes of cultural production in social systems are class, race, ethnicity and gender, as well as concepts associated with territory, differentiation, integration and democratization, authenticity and exoticization. My purpose in conducting an analytical approach to the development of the gastronomical and culinary subject in Colombia and of building a diagnostic map of it, responds to the wish to contribute to the understanding of the function of food research in solving specific questions of inequality, estrangement, and deracination, as well as understanding new senses of belonging and appropriation that emerge because of urban reconfigurations.

The Transference of Cuisine and Michelin Rated Restaurants: a Chef’S Perspective of Japaneseness in Hong Kong
特集号『社会システム研究』 2017年 7 月 33 The Transference of Cuisine and Michelin Rated Restaurants: A Chef’s Perspective of Japaneseness in Hong Kong Watson M. Baldwin, DHTM * Introduction At present there has been research done with respect to the history of Japanese cuisine, the outlook of Hong Kong’ restaurants as it relates to tourism, and its relationship to culinary tourism, and Michelin rated restaurants. However, there is a significant gap with the recent phenomenon of the rise of Japanese Michelin rated restaurants and their emergence into the Chinese market. For this market there are numerous opportunities and avenues because Hong Kong is the gateway into the China market and Asia. These restaurants bring a certain heir of class and respect to Hong Kong as a “Culinary Destination.” Like many countries, Japan has many different styles of cuisines through the various prefectures and regions of the country. Previous researchers have often times looked at the introduction of sushi and sashimi into other areas and cultures because of its lore of being raw and uncooked fish, mollusks or shellfish products. For most countries raw fish is not consumed so it is understandable why this would be such an important item and factor into transferring Japanese cuisine. It is because of this that this paper will not look at sushi in that same capacity of introduction but rather by technique and flavor composition. Moreover, this research will include a look at four other areas of Japanese cuisine that are just as important as sushi. The first being kaiseki or the most formal and seasonal of Japanese cuisines, second is yakitori/yakiniku or grilled chicken, beef and barbecue style restaurants that specialize in preparing all parts of the chicken or cow, thirdly is ramen, traditionally a spinoff of a Chinese noodle soup but has become a staple of recognizing Japanese food, lastly there are izakayas which are the Japanese version of pubs (Cwiertka, 2006; Ashkenazi & Jacob, 2000; Lee, 2009; Barber, 2009).

What Makes a Restaurant Ethnic? (A Case Study Of
FORUM FOR ANTHROPOLOGY AND CULTURE, 2017, NO. 13 WHAT MAKES A RESTAURANT ETHNIC? (A CASE STUDY OF ARMENIAN RESTAURANTS IN ST PETERSBURG) Evgenia Guliaeva Th e Russian Museum of Ethnography 4/1 Inzhenernaya Str., St Petersburg, Russia [email protected] A b s t r a c t: Using restaurants in St Petersburg serving Armenian cuisine as a case study, the article studies the question of what makes an ethnic restaurant ethnic, what may be learnt about ethnicity by studying a restaurant serving a national cuisine, and to what extent the image of Armenian cuisine presented in Armenian restaurants corresponds to what Armenian informants tell us. The conclusion is that the composition of the menu in these restaurants reﬂ ects a view of Armenian cuisine from within the ethnic group itself. The representation of ethnicity is achieved primarily by discursive means. Neither owners, nor staff, nor customers from the relevant ethnic group, nor the style of the interior or music are necessary conditions for a restaurant to be accepted as ethnic. However, their presence is taken into account when the authenticity or inauthenticity of the restaurant is evaluated. Armenian informants, though, do not raise the question of authenticity: this category is irrelevant for them. Keywords: Armenians, ethnicity, ethnic restaurants, national cuisine, authenticity, St Petersburg. To cite: Guliaeva E., ‘What Makes a Restaurant Ethnic?

Developing Culinary Tourism in Rural Belize Christian Burn Grenfell Campus Memorial University of Newfoundland Due to the Rapid
Developing Culinary Tourism in Rural Belize Christian Burn Grenfell Campus Memorial University of Newfoundland Due to the rapid growing rate of Belize’s tourism industry, there is need for research to be able to carry out a proper development process. The present tourism experience offered by Belize is not inclusive of the rural areas in comparison to the rest of the country. Therefore, this research looks at the possibility of developing culinary tourism in rural Belize. The people living in rural Belize have a rich and unique culture filled lifestyle that can be explored further. The research focuses on the social and economic benefits of culinary tourism as well as the advantages and disadvantages of having culinary tourism in the rural Belize. Keywords: Belize, Rural, Tourism, Culinary Development Introduction Culinary tourism is becoming one of the main reasons for travel. Culinary tourism is any experience in which a person appreciates and consumes food and drink that reflects the local cuisine, heritage, or culture of a place. Though there has been little research into food tourism, the rise and growth of culinary tourism offers many opportunities for hospitality and tourism organizations (Hunter, 2006). The rise and growth of culinary tourism is taking place globally. The demand for local cuisine is certainly becoming more popular in many destinations around the world. Recent research has shown that food and cuisine play an increasingly important role in the differentiation and promotion of specific tourist destinations (Horng & Tsai, 2010).Considering Belize’s location, the country’s various ethnic groups are influenced by Latin American and Caribbean traits.

Language Shift nda the Speech Community: Sociolinguistic Change in a Garifuna Community in Belize Abstract Language shift is the process by which a speech community in a contact situation (i.e. consisting of bilingual speakers) gradually stops using one of its two languages in favor of the other. The causal factors of language shift ra e generally considered to be social, and researchers have focused on speakers’ attitudes (both explicit and unstated) toward a language and domains of language use in the community, as well as other macro social factors. Additional research has focused on the effects of language shift, generally on the (changing) structure of the language itself. The og al of this thesis is to examine the relationship between social and linguistic factors in considering the causes and effects of language shift, focusing on age-based variation in the speech community.

Construction, Narration and Negotiation of a Scottish National Symbol Francesco Buscemi Introduction 1 This article aims to analyse the way television and the internet have created or recirculated the haggis, a popular Scottish dish, linking it to feelings of national identity and elements of nation building. The haggis is a dish based on lamb’s offal such as liver, lungs and heart, added to with onion, oatmeal, suet and various spices, and cooked in the sheep’s stomach. It is considered the Scottish national dish (Balic, 2013) and even the glorious Scottish poet Robert Burns (1850) wrote a poem entirely dedicated to it, Address to a Haggis. Crofton (2014) argues that it was actually an English dish originating in fifteenth-century Lancashire, which arrived in Scotland after 1700.
