The proposed range of topics was embedded in fourgeneral discourses: the temporal discourse, the spatial discourse, the discourseof identity and the discourse of cultural trends. These discourses may fulfill therole of cultural categories (as interpreted by Gurevich),and thus be descriptive andinterpretative tools. Investigation of the cultural phenomenon of things culinarydoes not pertain only to those them; it also reveals various “faces” of culture inthe era of fluid modernity.
