  • 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.

There is no single “American” flavor in the region from Canada to Mexico, Pacific to Atlantic. However, each region has traditional dishes, flavors, ingredients, and cooking methods. Each is worthy of attention. There are coastal zones with abundant seafood; Asian pockets with fusion influences; the vast mountains, plateaus, and plains with beef, wheat, potatoes, and corn; Southern cuisine with African influences; and Mexican food with both native and Spanish flavors, to name just a few. North American cuisine began with the Native Americans and soon fused with the first European settlers at Plymouth, so the Northeastern United

  • “Feeding Bodies, Nurturing Identities”. the Significance of Food for the Well-Being of Peruvian Migrants in Chile
    AM Rivista della Società italiana di antropologia medica / 17-18, ottobre 2004, pp. 287-301 2.6 “Feeding bodies, nurturing identities”. The significance of food for the well-being of Peruvian migrants in Chile Lorena Núñez C. PhD candidate attached to Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC), with a scholarship of Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research. Introduction: Food and Migration Products such as sugar, spices, chocolate, tea and tobacco brought once to Europe from exotic places are concrete evidence of the historical role food played in the development of European empires and reveal the double character of food as indicative of “roots and routes”. This continues to be the case at present for more recent and global migrations (1). Food patterns are linked to cultural roots as long as they operate as markers of a localized material culture. (At the same time are routes)-confusing, as pointed out by Döring; «testifying on the contact zones and “routes” which their produces and consumers have gone through» (DÖRING T. - HEIDE M. - MUHLEISEN S. 2003: 7). In fact the displacement and transformation of food patterns resulting in people’s migration rarely erase previous food tradi- tions. By looking at the vestiges of old culinary traditions within the existing ones, it may be possible to trace back the paths of people’s migrations. Looking at Peruvian migrant’s selection and manufacturing of food from the perspective of their previous and current whereabouts reveals the ex- tremely rich culinary history of Peruvian food. It dates back to the Incas and pre-Incas times and was later influenced by the Spanish colonizers.
