Food as Heritage: a cartography

CoHERE explores the ways in which identities in Europe are constructed through heritage representations and performances that connect to ideas of place, history, tradition and belonging. Work Package 6, Food as Heritage focuses on food as a fundamental element of heritage, and a very important one in times of crisis as a means of exploring identities. By adding culinary traditions to other forms of heritage, WP6 establishes an innovative synergy and adds value to the project by bringing together the cultural construction and invention of traditions, social practices, commercial practice, tourism, public policies and marketing strategies. The WP proposes food heritage as a basis for inclusive actions toward European citizens as well as immigrants who have not received citizen status. The following maps illustrate and complement the work done for CoHERE Work Package 6 (WP6), primarily for the book titled Food, Heritage and Nationalism, as well as the WP6 Policy Brief.
