Urban Terroir?
Jaffa, Tel Aviv, Nazareth, and Haifa
Tuesday | 14.07.20 | 19:00
Roundtable |
The concept of terroir, or “the taste of place,” traditionally refers to rural areas and is part of a regional culinary discourse (the Mediterranean, the Sham, and Galilee). How do notions of “authentic” and “local” food transform as they move from the village to the alienated city? Does the pluralistic urban space enable an otherwise impossible cooperation? Does taste, as well, undergo gentrification?
