Abstract

This article examines various heritage displays and festivals that have occurred in the United Arab Emirates and analyzes, in particular, the representation of women and cuisine. Over a two-year period (August 2015 to August 2017), I interviewed senior Emirati women and collected their oral histories, focusing mainly on cooking practices in the past and how those practices evolved with time. The article compares those oral histories with the representations shown in heritage festivals and spaces and concludes that the women I interviewed are inadequately represented and that the presentation of women, along with the culinary traditions in the region, has been marginalized or oversimplified.

探索国家：阿联酋的性别、身份和美食

本文考察了阿拉伯联合酋长国发生的各种遗产展示和节日，并特别分析了妇女和美食的代表性。在两年的时间里（2015年8月至2017年8月），我采访了阿联酋资深女性，收集了她们的口述历史，主要关注过去的烹饪实践以及这些实践是如何随着时间的推移而演变的。这篇文章将这些口述历史与遗产节日和空间中的表现进行了比较，得出的结论是，我采访的女性代表性不足，对女性的介绍以及该地区的烹饪传统被边缘化或过于简单化。
