Food habit articulates the local culture of a region. Tripura, a land-locked state of varied communities (the tribes and Bengalis of the soil) negotiates the countercultural exchange of cuisines. Traditional ethnic foods are markers of shared cultural values and identity. Preparation of traditional food involves the role of memory which involves passing down culinary skills, techniques, and ingredients from one generation to the next. The marketing industry and the restaurant culture have changed the taste of the consumers but again the ‘losses’ and the ‘need’ to preserve the traditional cuisines are archived in digital platforms. With the rise in YouTube food channels, Facebook pages, food delivery companies like Swiggy and Zomato; the local food met with the global consumer culture. On one hand, lost ethnic food habits are preserved by documenting the procedures of cooking traditional dishes. On the other, restaurants and bloggers are experimenting to prepare local food using global spices and techniques, resulting in a hybridized food identified by their hybridized name. This paper shall focus on how a new taste for food has developed in Tripura with the rise in digital participatory culture. The focus shall also be on the marketing signs and signifiers used in digital platforms to attract digital food readership. As e-readers, a survey of digital menu cards shall try to identify how the local food has evolved as glocalized cuisines.

The Impact

The growing exposure to globalization, since 1990s, has initiated some significant alterations to the Lebanese economy, society, and culture. For the last two decades, it has been observed that international cuisines and eccentric menu items have been invading the local market and taking over ethnic and traditional cuisines, what threatens, if this trend continues, the identity of traditional cuisine and, consequently, the sustainability of local food culture. Departing from the case of Lebanon, this paper studies the impact of globalization on traditional cuisine and highlights the role of networks in sustaining local food culture. The findings of our empirical study revealed the necessity to modernize the traditional cuisine through a coordinated set of heterogeneous and professional actors who collectively take part in the process. The ability of these actors to innovate is found related to the organizational conditions of the networks to which they belong, and to the ability of these networks for innovation, what refers us to the concept of “innovation network” that we are proposing, through this study, as a solution to the dilemma of food - culture preservation and sustainability.

Abstract Precariousness of the Colombian urban economy provides an ecosystem for the development and expansion of digital platforms, intersecting informal working relations with digital surveillance. Reconstructing legal obstacles to gaining recognition as legal and formal workers, it is argued that platforms have assembled a techno-legal network which translates discussions about workers’ rights into the less regulated arena of information and communication technologies. The role of ‘regulatory displacement’ is examined to analyse the evolution of digital platforms for food delivery workers. Drawing on a review of the regulation of it and labour, discussed in Congress in 2017–2018, we explore the regulatory expulsions that digital workers experience, analysing this information with a grounded theory approach, in which we have followed discursive patterns that emerge from legal documents. Addressing this strategic use of the law is key to understanding and overcoming obstacles that platform workers face in their attempts to organize in the Global South.

Numa tentativa de trazer para o debate as postagens dos estudantes que também transitam na web, este estudo traz para a discussão os posts que circulam no Facebook, mais especificamente na Página da Escola Duque de Caxias, Página do Colégio Carmela Dutra e Página do Colégio Barão de Solimões de Porto Velho, estado de Rondônia, procurando destacar que os registros compartilhados, possíveis fontes para a historiografia da educação, mantêm acesas a memória e as vivências compartilhadas de participação dos usuários junto à vida escolar. Quais as histórias escolares mais lembradas? Conhecer sobre as histórias dessas escolas pode ser um caminho para tentar compreender os sentidos atribuídos à memória das experiências manifestadas através dos relatos dos sujeitos. Os usuários desempenham papéis indicadores de parâmetros culturais que condicionam as ações cotidianas, as representações e lugares. Cabe à tela, a capacidade de conceder um brilho à vida recriada no espaço midiático, no qual produtores e receptores manejam a linguagem, com vistas à produção de sentidos, demandando novas interpretações. Valho-me dos estudiosos Certeau (1982), Chartier (2002), Lèvy (1999) e Sibilia (2008) instigando-me a pensar que essas postagens representam valores culturais, criatividades cotidianas, práticas sociais para a produção e significação das histórias escolares, ampliando, os repertórios de fontes para a História da Educação rondoniense.* * *In an attempt to bring to the debate the postings of students who also travel on the web, this study brings to the discussion the posts circulating on Facebook, more specifically the Page of the Duque de Caxias School, Page of the College Carmela Dutra and Page of the College Barão de Solimões of Porto Velho, state of Rondônia, seeking to emphasize that shared records, possible sources for the historiography of education, keep alive the memory and the shared experiences of users' participation in school life. Which school stories are most remembered? Knowing about the stories of these schools can be a way to try to understand the senses attributed to the memory of the experiences manifested through the subjects' reports. Users play the role of indicators of cultural parameters that condition daily actions, representations and places. It is the capacity to give a brightness to the life recreated in the media space, in which producers and receivers manage the language, with a view to the production of senses, demanding new interpretations. I think the researchers Certeau (1982), Chartier (2002), Lèvy (1999) and Sibilia (2008) help me to that these postings represent cultural values, everyday creations, social practices for the production and signification of school histories, amplifying, the repertoires of sources for the History of the rondonian Education.

Culture is playing an increasingly important role in tourism, and food is one of the key elements of culture. Tourists enjoy indigenous food, particularly items of local or ethnic nature. Furthermore, knowledge of the local, regional, and national cuisine has become an interest for tourists. The concept of consuming local food or drink is considered first-hand cultural experience, and it is on top of the tourist attraction list. In India, the promotion of food as a component of its destination attractiveness is in the budding phase. The context of this contribution is to underpin such linkages between tourism and food that can add to the cultural value of the destinations. The present empirical research is aimed to explore the role of food, culture, and tourism in sustaining the tourism of India. The current study will also attempt to address the role of regional food in promoting the cultural tourism of a particular destination. Further, the study will explore how the local food helps the tourist to recall the cultural heritage of a tourist's destination.

Oral History Interviews

Food insecurity in Indigenous communities in Canada continue to gain increasing attention among scholars, community practitioners, and policy makers. Meanwhile, the role and importance of Indigenous foods, associated knowledges, and perspectives of Indigenous peoples (Council of Canadian Academies, 2014) that highlight community voices in food security still remain under-represented and under-studied in this discourse. University of Winnipeg (UW) researchers and Fisher River Cree Nation (FRCN) representatives began an action research partnership to explore Indigenous knowledges associated with food cultivation, production, and consumption practices within the community since 2012. The participatory, place-based, and collaborative case study involved 17 oral history interviews with knowledge keepers of FRCN. The goal was to understand their perspectives of and challenges to community food security, and to explore the potential role of Indigenous food knowledges in meeting community food security needs. In particular, the role of land-based Indigenous foods in meeting community food security through restoration of health, cultural values, identity, and self-determination were emphasized by the knowledge keepers—a vision that supports Indigenous food sovereignty. The restorative potential of Indigenous food sovereignty in empowering individuals and communities is well-acknowledged. It can nurture sacred relationships and actions to renew and strengthen relationships to the community’s own Indigenous land-based foods, previously weakened by colonialism, globalization, and neoliberal policies.

Experiences of absence are often laden with values and expectations. For example, one might notice that a job candidate is not wearing a tie, or see the absence of a wedding band on a person's ring finger. These experiences embody cultural knowledge and expectations, and therefore seem like good candidates for being a form of evaluative perception. This chapter argues that experiences of absence are evaluative apart from the social or cultural values they take on. They are evaluative in their core, solely by virtue of being experiences of absence. The chapter begins by explaining why certain experiences of absence should be treated as a case of genuine perception. It then clarifies the role of the evaluative states in experiences of absence. The chapter concludes by arguing that experiences of absence constitute a new form of evaluative perception, and presents the subjective–objective dichotomy in a new light.
