“…In these processes, it is institutions with attributed authority that identify certain elements of the community's foodways as particularly valuable and central to their identity, making them visible and protecting them by including them in specialized research, museums, registers, and lists [29]. A growing body of literature is addressing food heritagization [30,31] in contexts such as Peru [32], Mexico [33], and Japan [18], among others. Such research has revealed the frequent tensions between popular perceptions about what constitutes gastronomic heritage and the formalized procedures that give administrative authority to private and public institutions to choose what elements will be included in registers, lists, or museums, or will receive financial and logistical support.…”

Research and initiatives in the emerging field of gastronomy require collaboration among scholars and experts from diverse backgrounds. Transdisciplinarity has been indicated as an effective approach allowing stakeholders from a variety of disciplines and professional practices to better understand and plan interventions in complex gastronomy-related issues and challenges. However, the actors collaborating in such transdisciplinary processes often represent different priorities, values, and needs, as well as varying levels of power and access to financial means. This is particularly evident when it comes to gastronomic heritage. Its identification, support, and promotion require cultural, social, and political negotiations among a great number of stakeholders. Using a pilot workshop organized in March 2023 in Madrid as a case study, this articles suggests that participatory design methods can offer instruments to ensure the effective transdisciplinarity required in gastronomy and to address the political tensions that underlie many of its aspects.

“…History legitimizes food products, manufacturing methods, and dishes, which through their mediatization tell a story about a community and how the food experts think it wants to represent itself-for example, by choosing favorite or desirable parts of the past and erasing others. 32 In other words, the rediscovery of "forgotten" food practices and ingredients, as well as the use of language hinging on the idea of "return" (or remembering, reinventing, reconstructing, etc. ), reflects larger dynamics regarding cultural memory and oblivion.…”

This article examines the future-oriented use of the culinary past in Poland’s food discourse through a qualitative analysis of popular food media (printed magazines and TV). We analyze how interpretations of food and culinary practices from the past are connected to contemporary debates. We contend that media representations of the culinary past co-create projects of Polish modernization in which diverse voices vie for hegemony by embracing different forms of engagement with the West and by imagining the future shape of the community. We distinguish between a pragmatic and a foodie type of culinary capital and focus on how they differently and at times paradoxically frame cultural memory and tradition. We observe the dynamics of collective memory and oblivion, and assess how interpretations of specific periods in Poland’s past are negotiated in the present through representations of material culture and practices revolving around food, generating not only contrasting evaluations of the past but also diverging economies of the future. Finally, we explore tradition as a set of present-day values, attitudes, and practices that are connected with the past, but respond to current concerns and visions of the future.

“…The emergence of various digital platforms, such as websites, online media applications, and social media, has played a crucial role in shaping the communication and consumption of culinary content (Kencana & Meisyanti, 2020;Susanti & Dwihantoro, 2022). However, it is important to acknowledge the documented challenges that have emerged, including the misappropriation of culinary heritage and the homogenization of unique culinary cultures (de Suremain, 2019;Porciani & Montanari, 2019). There is a discernible increase in the utilization of social media platforms to promote culinary ventures (Verdeguer, et al, 2014;Lepkowska-White, 2017).…”
