International Lectures and Keynotes
Keynote ?Making Fish: Recipes and the Construction of Culinary Geography”
?
During the NO-CITY Summer School “Toward a Food Atlas” at the Università Iuav di Venezia, Sasha L. Gora did the keynote presentation “Making Fish: Recipes and the Construction of Culinary Geography”.
Curated by Marta de Marchi, “Toward a Food Atlas” deals with the food system in the lagoon of Venice in order to identify one possible model for a food atlas in this specific territorial context. The summer school is taking place in cooperation with the European interuniversity network NO-CITY, which researches the socio-ecological impacts of urbanisation. Sasha L. Gora’s keynote raises the questions: How can a recipe also be a map? How does a recipe connect plants and animals by its list of ingredients and instructions and therefore maps the geography of the kitchen that it represents? She explains how recipes represent the peculiarities of a place but also construct, question or negate them.
