Can producers and consumers of color decolonize foodie culture?: An exploration through food media in settler colonies
通过分析Netflix和播客中的两档美食节目，探讨有色人种主持人和消费者在美食探险中是否挑战了白人男性主导的美食家原型，或只是让少数人进入圈子而强化了原有结构。
Abstract In this paper, I examine the “Home Cooking” episode of Netflix series Ugly Delicious, and the “Toronto Truths with Foodies of Colour” episode of award‐winning Racist Sandwich podcast to uncover their mediation of a foodie and cosmopolitan person of color identity. By paying close attention to biographical details and the foregrounding of certain aspects of foodie and racialized identities, this paper addresses the question of performativity when it comes to food adventuring by using the mediated lens of the two chosen food shows. Are the hosts (and the semiotics of the programs) potentially challenging the archetype of the adventurous meat‐eating white male, or reinforcing the same by letting certain people into the fold? This analysis is necessary to understand if producers and consumers of color who are vested in exploring different food cultures through their practices do this any differently from dominant cultures.
