    Bangladeshi Food Voices from Diaspora: Narratives of Six Case Studies from the UK, USA and Hungary By Shehreen Ataur Khan Submitted to Central European University – Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfilment for the ERASMUS MUNDUS MA in Women’s and Gender Studies (GEMMA) Main supervisor: Nadia Jones-Gailani, PhD (Central European University) Second reader: Adelina Sanchez Espinosa, PhD (University of Granada) CEU eTD Collection Budapest 2019 Bangladeshi Food Voices from Diaspora: Narratives of Six Case Studies from the UK, USA and Hungary By Shehreen Ataur Khan Submitted to Central European University – Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfilment for the ERASMUS MUNDUS MA in Women’s and Gender Studies (GEMMA) Main supervisor: Nadia Jones-Gailani, PhD (Central European University) Second reader: Adelina Sanchez Espinosa, PhD (University of Granada) CEU eTD Collection Abstract This thesis is focused on Bangladeshi culinary representations in the diaspora. The purpose of this research is to gain a better understanding of the Bangladeshi migrants who are involved in the culinary industry. I joined these two strands together and formed the kernel of my dissertation, which is to examine the layers of Bangladeshi migrant identities that are orchestrated through their culinary expressions in diaspora. My dissertation is based on six case studies from the UK, USA, and Hungary. Because of the diverse backgrounds of the case studies, there was an eclectic mix in their culinary projects, and I have analyzed them through the theoretical lens of food histories, food narratives, postcolonial studies, migrant identifies, and oral history. This research reveals how their culinary projects are coming to terms with a new reality, an expression of their hybrid identity, and at the same time, celebrating the connection with their homelands.

It focuses on the widespread practice of eating homemade lunches in the workplace, important for commuters to replenish mind and body with foods that embody their specific family backgrounds, in a society where religious, caste, class, and community markers comprise complex dietary regimes. Eating such charged substances in the office canteen was essential in reproducing selfhood and social distinction within Mumbai’s cosmopolitan environment.

  • Dispelling the Arguments Surrounding Canadian Television Programming: an Analysis of Food Network Canada
    Name: Marie Romeo Student Number: 0657130 Supervisor: Dr. Christine Quail Dispelling the Arguments Surrounding Canadian Television Programming: An Analysis oF Food Network Canada Since 1963, when Julia Child was first introduced to television viewers, the concept of food television, programming that surrounds the topic of food and cooking, has increased in popularity. By 1993 an entire channel devoted to food was created, the Food Network. Today, nearly two decades later, the popularity of food programming has only grown, with the Food Network being distributed to more than 96 million U.S. households and averaging more than seven million Web site users monthly (Food Network 2011). “As part of wider trends towards lifestyle programming, ‘reality’ TV and factual entertainment, food programming now takes up more time on our television screens than ever before… occupying prime-time slots in broadcast scheduling, and becoming winners in the ratings game” (de Solier 465). What is most interesting to note about the rise of food television is how they showcase information specific to a particular national identity, being able to speak to a nation’s ideologies around gender, class, worth, ethnicity, race and religion, as food is intrinsic with identity and pride (de Solier 468, Bonnessen, Jacobs 2009). Studies of the role of food in fostering nationalism are quiet established, with cases dating back as early as 1822, when Baron Karl Friedrich von Rumohr of Germany wrote a book “encouraging the German housewife to observe the virtues of simple, traditional German food in order to promote a German identity” (Jacobs 2009). The 1 idea of food representing a national identity through television has recently been noted in Australia.

  • Foreign Travellers' Recommendation of Culinary Tourism in India Based On
    Foreign travellers’ recommendation of culinary tourism in India based on cuisine image and satisfaction with experiences at culinary establishments: an exploratory study by Sudip Duttagupta A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Environmental Studies in Geography – Tourism Policy and Planning Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2013 © Sudip Duttagupta 2013 1 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract The role of food in tourism has recently received increased attention within the spheres of destination marketing, tourism development, and academia. Cuisine appreciation is an indelible aspect of the holistic, polysensual experiences that travellers seek thesedays (Crouch & Desforges, 2003; Everett, 2009). The experience of cuisine is the overarching theme for this study. It addresses a gap in knowledge concerning the concepts of image, satisfaction, and behavioural intentions (which have been abdundantly researched from a destination perspective) applied to cuisine and the travel experience. Specifically, this study’s purpose was to determine foreign travellers’ likelihood to recommend India for culinary tourism based on their perception of its cuisine and satisfaction levels with culinary experiences during their travel to the country. Additional aspects of the culinary behaviour of foreign travellers to India, such as their frequency of patronising Indian culinary establishments, types of establishments they visited, key sources of cuisine knowledge, and their opinion on cuisine knowledge based on culinary experiences in the country, are also revealed in the study.

  • Circuits of Authenticity: Parsi Food, Identity and Globalization in 21St Century Bombay
    Circuits of Authenticity: Parsi Food, Identity and Globalization In 21st century Bombay By Anirudh Raghavan, Syeda Asia and Vanshika Singh Food is an important marker of identity for any culture – its processing, preparation and consumption being sites of multiple meanings. Levi Strauss located food as a symbolic transition from Nature to Culture, with the process of cooking enabling this transition. Cooking becomes the diacritical mark of civilization – distinguishing human from animal, civilized from barbarian and more generally the Self from the Other (Levi Strauss 1969). Jack Goody and R.S Khare demonstrate the various ways in which food becomes a powerful manifestation of ethnic identity, caste purity, gender difference, of desire, abundance and of the sanctity of domestic space (Goody 1982; Khare 1976). However, food in its material form as a supplier of nutrients and energy to humans is incapable of becoming a carrier of these multiple meanings and identities. As Priscilla Ferguson argues, food can be intrinsically individual for its consumption is an individual act and its sensory experience and enjoyment subject to the varying tastes and demands of individuals. To become a mediator between the individual and society, food must be lifted from these material moorings and be placed in the realm of the symbolic. This requires two strategies – firstly a formalization of food which involves a categorization of acceptable and non-acceptable foods, ‘ideal’ methods of preparation and rules for social consumption of food (feasts, family gatherings, weddings, death rites etc.). Secondly, it involves an intellectualization and aestheticization of food whereby food is associated with specific religious rituals, emotions, affects and so on (Ferguson 2006, p-16).
