“My Mediterranean Is Not the One You See on the Picture Postcards”
This article narrates a walking tour through one of Marseille’s oldest food markets and its surrounds in an attempt to trace, in its sensory landscapes, intersecting meanings of food, place and identity. Drawing on Iain Chamber’s challenge to visualize an “uprooted geography” of Europe (2008:17), we propose to focus on the port city of Marseille on France’s southern coast as a “different” model of Euro-Mediterranean narratives. Marseille is a cit…
Introduction to the Special Issue on Global Citizenship in Higher Education
This introduction to the special issue on Global Citizenship in Higher Education explores how global citizenship is understood and practiced in higher education. It reflects on the term’s multiple meanings and how it is shaped by diverse cultural, political, and educational contexts. The articles in this special issue examine how global citizenship is taught, lived, and imagined—whether through study abroad programs, language education, or creati…
Rethinking the UTS International Studies Degree Post-Covid 19
The Bachelor of Arts in International Studies (BAIS) at UTS has been reimagined to address the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic and shifting priorities in higher education. The redesign introduces flexible global mobility options, including virtual experiences and localised intercultural learning, while embedding the Indigenous Graduate Attribute (IGA) across the curriculum. By blending physical, virtual, and local experiences, the program fos…
Reimagining Kinship Systems and Networks
Aboriginal people in Australia continue to endure the ongoing effects of 250 years of colonisation. However, the social and ontological basis of their Kinship Systems and networks highlights their resilience and resistance against western hierarchies and ideologies. Kinship Systems and networks represent the relationships between culture and nature and do not distinguish between the human and non-human world. The basis of the Kinship Systems and …
The Cross-Cultural Eye
After the annexation of New Caledonia by France in 1853, the islands became a site of contest between Indigenous populations, free settlers and convicts. While colonial photographs were often staged and presented simplistic views of Indigenous populations as subalterns, British-born Australian photographer Allan Hughan is unique in capturing the complexity of settler-colonial encounters in the contested landscape of New Caledonia in the second ha…
Aboriginal Language Revival
Aboriginal language revival is a recent phenomenon in Australia (Rigney 2006; Troy 2012). Prior to British colonisation, Australia had over 250 distinct languages that could be subdivided into 600-700 dialects, clearly, Australia was composed of ‘multicultural and multilingual societies’ (Rigney 2006, 385). Today only 18 Indigenous languages are spoken by all generations of people within a given language group (Social Justice Report 2009). In res…
Scaffolded Fieldwork Research Projects
Research into university study abroad programs suggests that while students may have some experience of local culture(s) and practices, they may be achieving no more than a superficial understanding of the host society. Alternatives to the standard study abroad models are thus essential to encourage students to engage more deeply with the host society. Research on study abroad programs argues for additional interventions and the provision of clos…
Emotional scapes in Mediterranean port cities
Mediterranean port cities share a number of trajectories that reveal their constitutive interconnectedness. Among the more recent is the process of urban regeneration that many of these cities have undergone over the last two decades. Several studies have analysed the implications of urban renewal from a socio-economic and urban planning perspective. However, the intersection between diverse urban restructuring processes and the emotions that cri…
Enacting alternatives to nationalist essentialising in language learning
Researchers examining nationalistic conceptions of language learning argue that nationalist essentialism often shapes the way languages are taught by educators and understood by learners. While numerous studies focus on how frameworks informed by Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and intercultural education offer alternative approaches to national stereotyping, these studies tend to focus on theoretical approaches, teacher perspectives or innovat…
Cultural Responsiveness
While intercultural competence is commonly a goal of university study abroad programmes, debates around criteria for assessing this competence have highlighted the challenges in appropriately identifying students’ intercultural learning in relation to specific university programmes. To overcome these issues, this research moves beyond conceptualising the intercultural in terms of ‘competence’ and instead proposes a framework termed Cultural Respo…
Merguez Capitale’
Official cultural sectors increasingly deploy cosmopolitan branding efforts, based on the diversity of migrant populations, to market a city as attractive and open. These strategies, meanwhile, continue to coexist with attachments to place as well as a sense of local identification and belonging. In this paper I refer to the way food, and in particular the merguez sausage, is used as a marker to evoke both the cosmopolitan and the local specifici…
Marseille, European Capital of Culture 2013 In s and Off s
Recent studies on urban change have emphasised the importance of culturally driven initiatives in the development of economic and social change. Concerns, however, have been raised in popular urban studies discourse that these strategies prioritise the economy and tourism over and above the needs of local residents and lead to the redefinition, and even the eradication, of local cultures. This paper looks at the case of the French city of Marseil…
Local French Food Initiatives in Practice
This article analyses the development of local food systems from a social movement perspective. It examines the case study of a farm market located in France and considers whether and how local initiatives in food distribution can be viewed as a social movement, using social theory as the conceptual framework
Introduction
This special issue of Portal contains papers that investigate the ways in which food and food cultures have created but have also disrupted links between different parts of the Fancophone world and between Francophone culture and other societies. Long considered a cornerstone of what is “French”, food and food culture in French speaking societies outside of France (and outside of many of the major centres of French cuisine within France) have bee…
Competing Desires and Realities
French language policy has historically centred on ways French can be considered a dominant and influential language. It has done this since the Middle Ages, by allowing the French language to serve as a political tool. On an international level, language was a way of subjugating conquered peoples (former colonies). It promoted France’s international status (by the 18th century French was the diplomatic language of Europe). On a national level, t…
