Heritagizing Local Cheese in China: Opportunities, Challenges, and Inequalities
Klein, Jakob A.
The author discusses the heritagization of local foods in China, based on his ethnographic research into the production, marketing, and consumption of rubing or “milk cake,” a goat milk cheese made in Yunnan province in the southwest of the country. The article draws attention to regional and ethnic dimensions to heritagization processes in China, sheds light on the relationship between heritagization and state projects of agricultural modernization, and raises critical questions about the opportunities and challenges for smallholder producers to create and capture value in the growing market for Chinese local heritage foods.

Eating potatoes is patriotic: state, market and the common good in contemporary China
Klein, Jakob A.
The article explores recent materials, including cookbooks and a television documentary, backed by the state to promote the potato as a Chinese staple food. These materials attempt to convince would-be eaters that the tuber is a highly nutritious food, suited to modern lifestyles and health concerns, and that it is both cosmopolitan and embedded in Chinese regional food traditions. They articulate a moral economy of food in which the market is a key mechanism for achieving the greater good of national grain security and a healthy population, and in which state and citizen are jointly responsible for “nourishing the people.” Consumers are encouraged to purchase potatoes and potato foods not only to cultivate their own health, but also out of a duty to the well-being of the country. In framing potato-eating as a patriotic act, potato campaigns chime with emerging practices in China of “ethical food consumption.”

Ambivalent Regionalism and the Promotion of a New National Staple Food: Reinventing Potatoes in Inner Mongolia and Yunnan
Klein, Jakob A.
DS Asia
GN Anthropology
This article addresses the relationship between national, regional, and local dimensions of Chinese culinary cultures and identities through the prism of the potato. Specifically, I explore how the central government’s strategy to transform the potato from a marginal food into a Chinese national staple opened new possibilities for actors in some marginalized inland regions to reimagine their potato foods as recognized elements of local and wider regional cuisines and culinary identities. In doing so, I also draw attention to the constraints that actors faced in their attempts to reimagine local potato foods, including the sense of ambivalence that continued to surround foods once widely associated with poverty. I discuss these processes of culinary reimagining with reference to potato-growing areas in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in north China and Yunnan Province in the southwest.

Special issue introduction: from nature to culture? Lévi-Strauss legacy and the study of contemporary foodways
Graf, Katharina
Mescoli, Elsa
This introduction and special issue explores the legacy of Claude Lévi-Strauss for the study of contemporary foodways. We revisit Lévi-Strauss’ structural writing about food through different angles. To begin with, based on our ethnographic research with Moroccan cooks, we propose to consider some basic elements of food culture as an “alphabet,” as a shared language and, more generally, as a formally structured and normalized set of practices. Then, the first research article of this special issue proposes to use Lévi-Strauss’ model of myths in a novel way, by bringing culinary and social practices in Western Kenya into relation through the concept of mereological ambivalence. In the second and third articles, Lévi-Strauss’ so-called culinary triangle, which represents a semantic field within which the various forms of food’s transformation are structurally meaningful and constitutes possibly his most well-known theoretical contribution to food studies, will be explored and questioned through contemporary practices of dumpster diving in London and the discourse among raw food eaters in France and the United States. Overall, this special issue hopes to demonstrate that despite valid and enduring critique of his semantic models, Lévi-Strauss’ theoretical engagement with food can still generate an exciting and fruitful analysis of contemporary foodways.

Transformations of Chinese Cuisines
Klein, Jakob A.
This chapter presents an overview of the English-language literature on Chinese cuisines in the People’s Republic. The transformation of cuisines in post-Mao China can be described in terms of a transition from state to market and from scarcity to choice. Yet the celebration of Chinese cuisines has been paralleled by a grimmer discourse that portrays food and eating as sites of risk, anxiety, danger and disgust. It is emphasised that paying careful attention to the reform socialist and other “Chinese” permutations of increasingly globalised cultural forms and processes related to food will contribute to a better comparative understanding of culinary modernity. The economic reforms were backed by an ideological shift that overturned the egalitarianism and anti-consumerism of radical socialism. The exploratory consumption of the foods of others in the gastronomically ever-more diverse Chinese towns and cities can be described as a form of “culinary tourism".

Contested evolution of nutrition for humanitarian and development ends: Report of an international workshop
Jaspars, Susanne
Scott-Smith, Tom
Hull, Elizabeth
Blake, Lauren
This working paper reports on a workshop organised by the Food Studies Centre at SOAS, University of London and the Refugee Studies Centre at Oxford University. The workshop aimed to explore and debate how and why humanitarian and development nutrition came to be dominated by medical science. Current interventions tend to treat it as a decontextualized, biological problem amenable to the technical administration of nutrients. The main approaches to addressing malnutrition now include the provision of specialised food products, new agricultural technologies, and the promotion of behaviour change in feeding and hygiene practices. They are promoted as part of Public Private Partnerships. Social nutrition, in contrast, takes a more holistic approach by examining its social, political and economic causes, and was prominent in the 1930s and again in the 1980s and 1990s but has been in decline since. Social approaches to nutrition have been critical of contemporary practices because they focus on nutrition itself as the object of policy rather than its wider social and political causes, they prevent more flexible and people-centred approaches, and because new nutrition and agricultural technologies promote the interests of business rather than the malnourished. These issues were the subject of discussion at the workshop.

Taste knowledge: couscous and the cook's six senses
Graf, Katharina
GN Anthropology
In this article, I explore how cooking knowledge is constituted and show that a sense of taste is central to it. Drawing on the thick description of domestic couscous preparation in Marrakech, Morocco, I treat taste both as a multisensory form of knowing that includes a sixth sense, temporality, and as a broader set of values that inform everyday food preparation. The notion of taste knowledge highlights that there is much more to a cook's knowledge than the act of cooking, and that food and the broader environment play an active part in it. Importantly, taste knowledge only fully emerges as an activity in which past, present, and future experiences are evaluated against material and social changes. Finally, taste knowledge shows that phenomenologically inspired research allows an understanding of broader cultural, economic, and political processes and how these shape, and are shaped by, the work of low-income, yet highly knowledgeable, women.

From culinary modernism to culinary cosmopolitanism: the changing topography of Beijing’s transnational foodscape
Xu, Chenjia
In the early 1990s, foreign foods were reintroduced into the everyday life of ordinary people in Beijing. As the city ascends to the top on the global hierarchy of urban places, its transnational food practices have evolved drastically. Proposing “co-bricolage” as a useful framework to rethink transnational culture, this article examines the changing modality of trans-local foodways in Beijing from the 1990s to the 2010s, and identifies a transition from culinary modernism to culinary cosmopolitanism. Whereas in the 1990s the foreign-local relations were perceived through a structural contrast between modernity and lack thereof, cosmopolitanism of the 2010s is underpinned by an eclectic disposition that considers the global and the local to be affinal and combinatory. The discussion demonstrates the potential of “co-bricolage” to historicize the global-local processes move beyond the dialectical model for understanding trans-local connections and dynamics.

Cultivated invisibility and migrants’ experiences of homelessness during the COVID-19 pandemic
Stewart, Simon
Sanders, Charlotte
The UK government’s Everyone In scheme, announced in March 2020, required local authorities to temporarily house all homeless individuals in their area regardless of immigration status. In providing support through safe and secure accommodation, Everyone In also provided a crucial moment of visibility for migrants experiencing homelessness. Yet, just as it provided life-changing opportunities for some, the scheme was not straightforwardly a celebratory moment for migrants. It remained embedded within a wider context of immigration governance and social inequality in the UK, which has both invisibilised migrant homelessness as a crisis and hypervisibilised migrants as undeserving, suspicious or ‘illegal’ subjects. In this article, we explore life-story narratives co-produced with migrants across three urban contexts that capture their experiences of homelessness before and during the pandemic. In doing so, we introduce the notion of cultivated invisibility, referring to a habitual, deeply-ingrained mode of practice through which migrants respond to and navigate their experiences of being read as ‘Other’, in racialised or classed terms. It is developed through conditions of material scarcity and in the course of multiple engagements with racial capitalism’s various ‘faces of the state’ in an increasingly hostile environment for migrants. Cultivated invisibility involves staying on the move and blending into the crowd or avoiding it altogether but it also includes the experience of being unseen despite having come forward for help. Importantly, we demonstrate that cultivated invisibility becomes a cause of illegalisation, just as much as a response to it.

Mobility, marriage decline, and the ceremonial economy: socio-cultural factors influencing farming in South Africa and implications for land reform
Hornby, Donna
Hull, Elizabeth
This article reviews the literature on the social dynamics influencing small-scale agriculture in South Africa. These include three primary factors: the trans-local character of livelihoods; the role of social hierarchies of gender, age and marital status in allocating rights and responsibilities at home; and the ceremonial economy. South African land reform policies must recognise these local practices of distribution and social reproduction as integral to people’s livelihood strategies. By doing so, land reform can move beyond the narrow emphasis on productivity and ‘self-reliance,’ instead focusing on aligning policies with the strategies of the poor.

The Decline of the Labor Party in Israel
Shindler, Colin
The decline of the Labor Party is one of the great mysteries of Israeli politics. From achieving forty-seven seats in the 1981 election, it attained a mere seven seats in the March 2021 election. From being the leading party in the electoral firmament, it is now subservient to the whims of the center and right-wing parties. While outside factors such as globalization and deregulation led to the demise of the command economy and the embrace of capitalism, the blurring of ideology has left Labor in search of an identity. Yet the decline of the Left in general can be traced back to the very beginning of the state—to an infatuation by Mapam with all things Soviet and David Ben-Gurion’s obsession about the Lavon affair. While the Left squabbled internally and fragmented, the Right built bridges and coalesced to eventually become the permanent party of power.

Food Cultures
Klein, Jakob A.
Berlin, S.
Wang, C.Y.
Thomason, E.
The four pieces in this chapter all revolve around the changing relationship to basic food stuff traditional associated with backwardness and deprivation in the context of a search for the “authentic” by urban middle classes. Jakob Klein deals with the repositioning of the potatoe from a staple of the poor to a new superfood. Samuel Berlin tells the story of laid off factory workers learning to make their local delicacies to sell to an urban clientele while Erin Thomason recounts returning Henanese migrants’ nostalgia for “shaoguo”, a highly polluting biomass oven. In her piece on eating videos, Caroline Yiqian Wang puts the spotlight on the social and culinary benefits from watching other people eat online.

Darfuri Journeys to Europe: Causes, Risks and Humanitarian Abandonment
Jaspars, Susanne
Buchanan‐Smith, Margie
Adam Abdul‐Jalil, Musa
H Social Sciences (General)
Darfuris were amongst the thousands of migrants and refugees arriving in Europe in 2014, thus becoming part of Europe’s so-called “refugee crisis”. Rather than creating a crisis in Europe, however, their flight reflects a new phase in Darfur’s humanitarian crisis and a new trend in Darfuri migration. This article examines the historical, political and humanitarian dimension of migration to Europe and the risks that Darfuris face at each stage of their journey. It argues that migration to Europe was a result of ongoing conflict and violence but that existing policies made this invisible. In addition, Darfuri journeys to Europe reveal fundamental new challenges to humanitarianism. These include migration and asylum policies that risk complicity with refugee-producing regimes and that create humanitarian crises in Libya and Europe. Darfuris, as some of the poorest refugees coming to Europe, are amongst the most vulnerable. The article examines policy failures, their effects and the implications for humanitarianism.

Somalia’s evolving political market place: from famine and humanitarian crisis to permanent precarity

Somalia has a long history of famine and humanitarian crisis. This article focuses on the years 2008–2020, during which governance and aid practices changed substantially and which include three crisis periods. The article examines whether and how governance analysed as a political marketplace can help explain Somalia's repeated humanitarian crises and the manipulation of response. We argue that between 2008 and 2011 the political marketplace was a violent competitive oligopoly which contributed to famine, but that from 2012 a more collusive, informal political compact resulted in a status quo which avoided violent conflict or famine in 2017 and which functioned to keep external resources coming in. At the same time, this political arrangement benefits from the maintenance of a large group of displaced people in permanent precarity as a source of aid and labour.
