PERSONAL NARRATIVES OF NATIONALISM IN TURKEY Emel Uzun PhD in Sociology The University of Edinburgh 2015 Abstract The Kurdish Question, which dates back to the Ottoman Era, has been a constituent element of narratives of Turkish nationalism for the past 30 years. The Kurdish Question stands as the most prominent “other” of Turkish nationalism. The members of two groups, Kurds and Turks, became highly politicised throughout 30 years of internal conflict and through their daily encounters, giving way to a constant redefinition of the understanding of nationalism and ethnicity. The encounters and experiences of these two groups have facilitated the development of various narrative forms of personal nationalism in daily life. Accordingly, the daily manifestations of the Kurdish Question and Turkish nationalism have grown as an object of academic interest.

  • Recipes & Cuisine [PDF]
    Ugandan Customs and Cuisine Ugandan cuisine is quite the melting pot, taking culinary influences from the Arabs, British, and especially India. The Indian traders left their mark on the region as they introduced their curries, spice blends, and breads. The food is not typically spicy, but seasoned with tomatoes and onions to create flavorful, pleasing dishes. Their diet is based on a combination of a starch and a “sauce” at each meal. The starch may consist of Ugali (a type of cornmeal paste) or Matooke (mashed plantain), and is always topped with a sauce or stew made of groundnuts (peanuts), vegetables, or meat. Although Uganda is home to the largest fresh water lake in the world, the lake has been over- fished, and fresh fish is very hard to obtain unless you live near to the source. But smoked fish can be found quite readily and is often added to a dish containing meat or beans to add complexity and depth. Chicken, beef, goat and mutton are all part of the diet, although among the rural poor meat would not be eaten every day. Cattle are considered a sign of wealth, and not consumed in the everyday diet. Other commonly found foods include bananas, pineapple, beans, cassava, sweet potatoes, cabbage and spinach. Groundnuts are a vital staple and are most often turned into a sauce. Rice is expensive and not typically consumed. Most people, except a few who live in urban centers, produce their own food and generally eat two meals a day, lunch and supper. Breakfast is often a cup of tea or porridge.

Of course Foodscape was going to get bigger this year. But did you know it would get that big? For 2 days, Foodscape attendees took over the former Chicago Tribune Printing Warehouse on the Chicago River, filling over 100,000 square feet of space. In that space we stretched our idea of what food and the food industry could be as we covered the dual themes of “Eat the World” and “Feed the World.” On the main stage, we covered topics like food waste, the psychology of eating, what authenticity means for today's consumers, microfacial recognition software, and cell-based agriculture. Then, in the first-of-its-kind Global Culinary Theater, attendees were let loose on over 30 different experience zones where they could check off over 100 different achievements, almost all of which were brand new to guests. We set a world record, ate foods like century eggs and surströmming (look up a video), headed into the Icy Igloo for kulfi and bingsoo, crafted CBD s'mores around the fire, did Tim Tam Slams, tasted algae cocktails, helped ourselves to global beers, had tea and snacks made by robots, drank civet "poop" coffee and Vietnamese egg coffee, saw chefs make jianbing and hand-pulled noodles before our very eyes, noshed on pastries at the Mexican panaderia, created our own global spice and tea blends, ate scorpions, discovered some weird world wines, and learned the art of kraut and kombucha, to name just a few of the experiences.

  • Internationalization of African Ethnic Cuisine: a Situation Analysis
    Journal of Research in International Business and Management (ISSN: 2251-0028) Vol. 3(2) pp. 66-72, February, 2013 Available online @http://www.interesjournals.org/JRIBM Copyright ©2013 International Research Journals Full Length Research Paper Internationalization of African ethnic cuisine: A situation analysis *1Geoffrey Bakunda and 2Samson Omuudu Otengei ’ *1Department of Marketing and International Business, Makerere University Business School, Kampala, Uganda. 2Department of Leisure and Hospitality Management, Makerere University Business School, Kampala, Uganda. Abstract Despite a number of benefits, “African food” is not as widely served in public eating places world wide as many others, a situation reflected in the near-total absence of international literature on African cuisine. As a result, African ethnic cuisine is less internationalized. The paper reports on a case study undertaken in one African country Uganda, to assess international visitors’ exposure to African cuisine and their perceptions of requirements to effectively internationalize African ethnic cuisine. The study confirms that international visitors’ exposure to African ethnic cuisine is low and the level of Internationalization primarily influenced by perceived food quality although other aspects also play a part. The paper identifies managerial and policy implications for promoting Internationalization of African ethnic cuisine . Keywords: Internationalization, African Ethnic Cuisine, Africa, Brand strength, international visitors. INTRODUCTION The level of Internationalization of most African Cuisines 2005; Tamar et al., 2001) suggesting that these are has remained low. African food has remained largely among the most internationalized and internationally “local” and is not as widely served in public eating places popular.

  • Tradition and Modernity in the Domestic Urban Kitchen Design in Uganda
    Tradition and Modernity in the Domestic Urban Kitchen Design in Uganda A case of Kampala Salome Kweyunga Licentiate Thesis in Building Function Analysis KTH, Stockholm, December 2013 TRITA 2013-17 ISSN 1653-6126 ISNR KTH/SoM/13-17/SE ISBN 978-91-7501-985-7 Abstract This thesis studies the design of modern domestic urban kitchens in Uganda. The research took place in Kampala, which is the capital city of Uganda. The cultural make up of Kampala residents is diverse; people come from all over the country of Uganda, as well as beyond. The fieldwork involved investigating daily practices taking place in the domestic urban kitchens of the middle income group. This has been done in order to find out the problems found in using the kitchens so that better designs may be suggested. The thesis addresses mostly, professionals such as architects, who are involved with planning and designing housing, specifically kitchens within them. This work can as well be useful to another country with a similar context to Uganda. It is worth mentioning that kitchen studies started to take place in developed countries about one hundred years ago, yet, they have never been initiated in Uganda, until this moment. The thesis indicates that a kitchen is an important part in a home, which is a busy area, thus demanding a lot of attention in order to be able to get the needed design requirements. While the findings of the thesis are based on the contemporary urban life in Uganda, it is not known what the future will hold; so suggestions are made to benefit contemporary needs.
