Abstract

Thanksgiving-themed episodes of cooking television open up questions about the interrelations of food, history, power, and culture. This study addresses such questions through textual and thematic analysis of 46 Thanksgiving-themed episodes of reality cooking competition programmes on US cable TV, exploring how the Thanksgiving episode operates as a site for the deployment of the culinary as a category by which the past is re/created. I argue that the Thanksgiving episode represents history through two frames: “tradition” and “reenactment.” Reading the Thanksgiving episode as a site of history's reconstruction illuminates popular media's involvement in the socio-historical-political machinery of contemporary life.

重新加热 "第一次 "感恩节：作为殖民者殖民叙事的感恩节插曲

以感恩节为主题的烹饪电视节目提出了关于食物、历史、权力和文化之间相互关系的问题。本研究通过对 46 集美国有线电视烹饪比赛真人秀节目中以感恩节为主题的剧集进行文本和主题分析来探讨这些问题，探索感恩节剧集如何将烹饪作为重新/创造过去的一个类别。我认为，感恩节节目通过两个框架来表现历史："传统 "和 "重现"。将《感恩节》一剧作为历史重构的场所来解读，可以揭示大众媒体对当代生活的社会历史政治机制的参与。
