Sažetak
Food is imbued with many layers of meaning and is associated with interactions in different socio-cultural contexts (Germov & Williams, 2009). The focus of the analysis is the YouTube project Pasta Grannies, more precisely a video in which 100-year-old Ms Letizia demonstrates her culinary skills. The analyzed video material and numerous comments from the global audience showed different layers of meaning that indicate the gender and age component of food, the global/transnational perception of Italian cuisine and food as a generator of memory but also “imagined nostalgia“ (Appadurai, 2005). The video material functions as a kind of projection screen on which the global audience inscribes various meanings generated from personal (and imaginary) experiences, but at the same time uncritically supports and perpetuates some gender, age and ethnic stereotypes.
