Across Time, Space, and Matter
On the occasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the King Juan Carlos I of Spain Center (KJCC) at New York University, the Center was interested in organizing a series of programs and events to reflect on food as a nexus for discussions about philanthropy, social justice, and cultural exchange across the global Hispanophone. We at the KJCC were especially interested in thinking about how food (discourse and matter) could be an occasion to study…
Europe on a Plate
This article discusses tensions emerging from conflicting ethnic and national identities in three European Union (EU) member states – Germany, Italy and Spain – through the prism of culinary practices. Food is a marker of cultural identity. In Europe, a wide variety of food practices and culinary cultures co-exist in close proximity, and Europeans thus face the dilemma that confronts all omnivores presented with a breadth of culinary options: whi…
Women food writers in authoritarian regimes
This article examines the role of female food writers in codifying cuisine in authoritarian regimes in Cuba (batistato, 1952–1958) and Paraguay (stronato, 1954–1989), providing examples of the way in which food discourse can both support and resist authoritarian power. As an everyday practice, the preparation and consumption of food offered the State the opportunity to promote, through the discursive codification of cuisine, official views of the…
Introduction. Transhispanic Food Cultural Studies
This introductory article argues for making food central to a praxis of cultural studies in the transhispanic world and the importance of inserting Hispanist voices into the arena of food studies scholarship more broadly. Articles in this Special Issue illustrate that foodways of the transhispanic world are heterogeneous and conflicted. Yet, food discourses allow us to study how people think with food, using it to mark identities, to establish po…
Arthur Ferdinand Yencken
During the Second World War, the maintenance of Spanish neutrality was of great strategic importance to the British Government and its Allies. The British Embassy in Madrid therefore had a role of crucial significance. This article describes the part played by Arthur Yencken, deputy to Ambassador Hoare, who served in Spain from 24 April 1939 until his death on 18 May 1944. In uncovering Yencken’s contributions to the war effort, the article offer…
Cooking up the Past
This article examines the role of culinary nostalgia and the possibility it allows for a critique of the prevailing gender ideology of the Franco era in the television series Cuéntame cómo pasó and El Cuaderno de Mercedes (2004), the show’s accompanying cookery book. Now in its twelfth year, Cuéntame — set in the late 1960s and through the Transition — has achieved strong critical and popular success. Cuéntame’s connection to debates about histor…
A Taste of the Past
This article argues for the place of a food studies course in a language major, highlighting the benefits of such a course not only to the students’ cultural understandings, but more broadly. A highly interdisciplinary area, the study of national cuisines and cookery books offers students insight into a wide range of issues, from historical events, nationalisms, and independence movements to gender relations and social movements. Focusing on the …
Tradition, modernity and exoticism
This article considers the ‘plating up’ of Peruvian food in two very different Melbourne establishments, each reflective of the changing face of Peruvian cuisine outside of Peru. We argue that despite a move from the suburban periphery of ‘ethnic’ dining to the cosmopolitan centre of high-end cuisine, Peruvian food in Melbourne is subject to exoticization and the demand for ‘authenticity’. In our analysis of the plating up of Peruvian cuisine in …
The unity and diversity of La olla podrida
Penning their gastronomic texts at the same time that the Spanish nation was being written into existence in laws, literature and history (see Labanyi 1–28), Spain's pioneering gastronomes debated the question of their nation's culinary identity. As this article discusses, one of the outcomes of this exchange was the inclusion of la olla podrida (the "rotten pot") at the royal table. Indeed, when Dr. Thebussem made his unorthodox suggestion to th…
Christoph Meiners’ History of the Female Sex (1788–1800)
This article investigates the portrayal of Spanish women in a rarely discussed work by the German popular philosopher Christoph Meiners (1747–1810). Between 1788 and 1800 Meiners wrote four substantial volumes titled History of the Female Sex: Comprising a View of the Habits, Manners, and Influence of Women, Among all Nations, from the Earliest Ages to the Present Time, which sought to give an account of the physical and moral qualities of women,…
The Distribution of Surplus in Life Insurance
The scandals that have been brought to light recently in the insurance field, have drawn especial attention to the question of government supervision.What are the duties of a state in matters of insurance, and how can those duties be most efficiently exercised?How far should the government, state or national, go in the matter of restricting or regulating the right of contract on the part of the public, and how far should the government go in regu…
