Abstract

The Human Dredger is a non-fiction, autobiographical recount of the writer’s education through food and its importance to society. The piece was written in June 2022 and includes scenes from Melbourne, Australia and Amalfi, Italy. The work explores the nature of memory regarding cuisine and its impact on growth from childhood into adulthood. The piece conveys how, foundationally, the understanding of different cultures can be approached through their interpretation of and appreciation for food. The writer reflects upon his childhood experiences with food and his changing perspectives as his palate develops. The story follows this human growth through a developed maturity of the palate. Replacing a linear timeline, the author’s life is spelled out in a series of courses.

期刊介绍： PORTAL Journal of Multidisciplinary International Studies is a fully peer reviewed journal with two main issues per year, and is published by UTSePress. In some years there may be additional special focus issues. The journal is dedicated to publishing scholarship by practitioners of—and dissenters from—international, regional, area, migration, and ethnic studies. Portal also provides a space for cultural producers interested in the internationalization of cultures. Portal is conceived as a “multidisciplinary venture,” to use Michel Chaouli’s words. That is, Portal signifies “a place where researchers [and cultural producers] are exposed to different ways of posing questions and proffering answers, without creating out of their differing disciplinary languages a common theoretical or methodological pidgin” (2003, p. 57). Our hope is that scholars working in the humanities, social sciences, and potentially other disciplinary areas, will encounter in Portal scenarios about contemporary societies and cultures and their material and imaginative relation to processes of transnationalization, polyculturation, transmigration, globalization, and anti-globalization.
