Study Notes
Gastronationalism
- Gastronationalism is using food to express and assert national identity.
- Traditional dishes, ingredients, and culinary practices are promoted as cultural heritage.
- Often linked to debates over food origins.
- Aims to preserve authenticity and protect traditional food from globalization.
- Sometimes involves legal protections (e.g., Protected Designation of Origin).
- Examples include kimchi in South Korea, feta cheese in Greece, and pelmeni in Russia.
- Can lead to disputes over food origins (e.g., hummus, baklava).
Gastrodiplomacy
- Gastrodiplomacy uses food to build cultural bridges and positive international relations.
- Governments and organizations promote national cuisine abroad.
- Aims to create mutual respect and interest through culinary experiences.
- Often part of broader cultural diplomacy campaigns.
- Involves restaurants, festivals, cooking classes, and food exhibitions.
- Examples include Thailand's "Global Thai" campaign and Peru's gastronomy diplomacy.
- Helps create positive brand identity, boost tourism, and strengthen economic ties.
Interplay of Gastronationalism and Gastrodiplomacy
- Gastronationalism is inward-focused (domestic pride).
- Gastrodiplomacy is outward-focused (influencing foreign audiences).
- Promotion of kimchi in South Korea (gastronationalism) and the Korean Wave (gastrodiplomacy) illustrate this.
Dark Tourism
- Dark tourism is the touristic consumption of places associated with death, tragedy, and suffering.
- An umbrella term for niche tourism forms.
- Includes poverty, holocaust, prison, grief, genocide, disaster, suicide, and dystopian dark tourism.
- Examples include Auschwitz-Birkenau (Holocaust), Ground Zero (disaster), Chernobyl (disaster), Hiroshima (atomic), Aoigahara Forest (suicide), and Alcatraz (prison).
Spectrum of Dark Tourism
- Ranges from explicit death sites to more subtly associated attractions.
- Philip Stone's model has a scale: darkest (less tourism infrastructure) to lightest (more tourist infrastructure).
- Categories include darkest (sites of death), darker (memorialization), dark (commodified), light (historic tragedy), lighter (tragic history), and lightest (implied dark connections).
- Examples: Auschwitz-Birkenau (darkest), Ground Zero (darker), Jack the Ripper Tours (dark), Pompeii (light), Titanic Belfast (lighter).
