Tortilla Tour. Culinary Tourism in Globalized Oaxaca, Southern Mexico

Summary/Abstract: This article draws on the results of long-term multisited fieldwork (2011–2017) and analysis of secondary sources to examine the dynamics of culinary tourism in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca. Through an ethnografic case study – a culinary tour – I show that culinary tourism constitues a space where apparently contradictory processes of (re)production of local and national culture and identity as well as intensive globalization take place. I examine the Tortilla Tour as s foodscape: constant flow of food, people and symbolic representation and meanings of foodways in transnational consumer society, in the context of different strategies of food heritage-making intended to benefit the culinary tourism industry, aimed at social and economic development of the region.
