Culinary Crossovers: Authenticity and Ambiguity in Reimagining Food Heritage in South Asia
We are inviting abstracts of papers on “Culinary Crossovers: Authenticity and Ambiguity in Reimagining Food Heritage in South Asia”, to be published in a special issue for the Journal of Food, Culture & Society (Taylor and Francis, Scopus Q1). In this special issue, we aim to probe into culinary histories and practices as appended to cultural/collective memory, where the idealised and marketable concept of “authenticity” emerges as a “palimpsest” conditioned by competing ideologies of nostalgia and privilege afforded by the ability to relocate.
