Which kinds of memories does food have
the particular capacity to inscribe, and are
there other ways that food may be implicated
in a conscious or unconscious forgetting?
How are food-centered forms of memory—
conscious or unconscious, publicly validated
or privately concealed—linked to other medi-
ums for memory?
How does dietary change
become linked in complex, and perhaps con-
tradictory, ways to broader understandings
of change? Or how, alternatively, does real
or perceived resilience in foodways speak to
understandings of the present and imagin-
ings of the future through reference to a
mythic or historicized conception of past
eating?
