Colonial culinary appropriation: Objectives, factors, and implications
| Resumo: | The present thesis evaluated the relationship between culinary appropriation and colonialism. The research aimed to examine the historical context of colonial culinary appropriation by reviewing pertinent literature. The purpose of this study was to investigate the phenomenon’s objectives in relation to culinary nationalism, define its factors, and demonstrate its implications. A single case study of Palestinian cuisine was conducted by employing semistructured interviews with 17 participants. The research opted for an interpretive approach followed by thematic analysis. The findings revealed a strong relationship between culinary appropriation and colonialism, as colonial culinary appropriation is a subset of cultural appropriation with a unique set of characteristics and facets. According to the findings of this study, the primary goal of colonial culinary appropriation is to increase the colonizer's sense of culinary nationalism while diminishing that of the colonized. In addition, the results revealed that -narration, commodification, and marketing- serve as the concept's actors, with normalization as its primary implication. It was concluded that food can serve as both a mechanism for the colonizer and a medium for the colonized. |
