Popis
The article focuses on issues of acculturation and identity in the host society of Canada. It outlines some changes that have taken place in the foodways and food patterns of new Canadians and targets the representation of food and meals as a signifier of Canadian identity – for the 'old' Canadians and for the 'new' Canadians. Though integrated with the exigencies of human existence, like language, food as a communicative code is of crucial importance in the context of fluid identity theory, for example in terms of holiday food reversals.
L'article porte sur les problèmes d'acculturation et d'identité dans la société d'accueil du Canada et met en valeur un certain nombre de changements qui ont influencé les habitudes et les modèles alimentaires de nouveaux Canadiens. On accentue sur la spificité de la représentation de la nourriture et des repas comme un signifiant de l'identité canadienne pour les "anciens" ainsi que pour les "nouveaux" Canadiens. La nourriture, intégrée aux exigences de l'existence humaine comme c'est le cas de la langue, est d'une importance décisive avec sa fonction de code de communication dans le contexte de la théorie d'indentité multiple, surtout en ce qui concerne le renversement des modèles d'alimentation pendant les fêtes.
