Накратко на български

Хранителните навици в британските и испанските колонии през XIX век показват как кулинарните традиции изграждат идентичността на колонизаторите. Анализът помага да се разбере как взаимодействието между различни култури влияе върху съвременните миграционни процеси и европейската идентичност.

Food in the Spanish and British Caribbean in the Nineteenth Century: Encounters, Exchanges, Identities

Imperial Recipes research concern the discourse on food in the British and Spanish colonies of the nineteenth century. More specifically, it deals with how food was employed to build one or more colonizers identity and how the encounters of different food cultures interacted to develop and imperial ideology that acted through food, too. Besides being a topic only relevant for historians, the subject of food and the related negotiations, appropriations, rejections and interactions of various food cultures and practices could also have an interest in our contemporary Europe and its relations with the global world and the present phenomenon of increased and constant migrations. The demographic changes subsequent to extra-European migrations seem to favor an increased sense of insecurity, a strenghten debate on how to define a European identity but also a discussion on the permeability of the European border. Even if history cannot completely solve the present dispute, this analysis on how the discourse on food was employed in the colonies, areas in which the encounters with diversity were the norm, present a useful cause of reflection, and has been one of the main objectives of this research, on the many migrants' communities that live nowadays in Europe.

Цел на проекта

This research project aims to compare the British and Spanish empires in the nineteenth-century Caribbean. More specifically, it focuses on the discourse on food in the British and Spanish colonies. This project stems from my doctoral research. My aim is both to find a connection between the ways in which food and diet were perceived and discussed in the British and Spanish Caribbean colonies and to evaluate the differences in the discourse on food in the two empires, with the objective of analyzing colonial identities and imperial ideology in the Caribbean through the lens of food. My focus on food and diet sheds light on how encounters, negotiations, appropriations, rejections and interactions of culinary practices are more than just a matter of human nutrition but rather concern fundamental issues as the construction of identities, asymmetries of power, agency of the subaltern and mutual influences. The basic assumption of this project is therefore an analysis of the relationship between food, identity and power.
