“…He came to the conclusion that by resorting to local food words and phrases in a glossary-like fashion, authors "heighten the exotic qualities" and these guidebooks remained imbricated in the conventional language and style of tourism as an instrument for promoting and selling a destination. Desjardins, Cooke & Charron (2015) explored some of the challenges of translating food in Canada which is a bilingual context. They revealed some overlaps between food studies and Translation Studies.…”

Translation Studies scholars have recently indicated the emergence of a political ecology of translation. Viewing this new trend, the present study aimed to explore discoursal features of Jamie Oliver's talk in Jamie’s Thirty Minute Meals cookery show and the way they were rendered in the dubbed version broadcast by BBC Persian. To this end, the comparative model of research and the notion of tertium comparationis was used. To analyze the discoursal features of Jamie Oliver, the principles of the grounded theory were applied. The findings indicate that the predominant stylistic features of fastness in Jamie Oliver’s talk are repetition of title, using time phrases indicating fastness, and using words implying easiness and briskness. Analysis of the dubbed version revealed that all the identified expressions of fastness were translated literally into Persian, though they do not sound natural. In other words, in Toury’s (1980) term adequate or source-oriented strategies were used to dub the show into Persian. The findings can shed some light on the realization of food colonization in translation.

“…Spurred by a 2015 special issue of The Translator (Chiaro & Rossato, 2015), translation studies grew an interest in the translation of food-related texts, such as guidebooks (De Marco, 2015) or menus (Desjardins, Cooke, & Charron, 2015;Li, 2019). These studies underline how the textual must always consider its relationship with a complex array of experiences and food-related discourse that are not easily contained in a string of words.…”

This article explores the theme of food translation, based on research conducted in Italy in 2018 with a group of asylum seekers from different West African countries. It concentrates on a community gardening project revolving around the cultivation of okra: a vegetable that is a staple in many African cuisines, but not very popular in Italy, which provided the occasion for the participants to communicate their home foodways. As something that is linked to the most basic human needs, and yet bears high cultural significance, food can be used as a lens to explore the shifting relationship between language and other embodied forms of meaning. Translating food means engaging with a complex interplay of language, sensory experiences, and socio-cultural norms. Drawing from recent semiotically-oriented developments in translation studies as well as applied linguistics, and the semiotics of food, I analyze key participants’ involvement with the project.
