Abstract

The article proposes an analysis of family cookbooks from the perspective of memory studies. Its main goal is to show that these are objects that shape family memory, helping to preserve and transmit it from one generation to the next. The first section outlines the theoretical framework, discussing the multiple layers of content and meaning in homemade cookbooks, the similarities between them and scrapbooks, as objects that can elicit voluntary (or involuntary) memories. Other theoretical issues that are essential for the problem in question are also examined: the complex relationships between individual memory and family memory, the layers that make up family memory, how family meals shape family memory, and recipe books seen as Proustian devices. The second part proposes a case study that explores the particular way in which the aspects discussed in the theoretical section are illustrated by two recipes notebooks belonging to a woman who was born in a Romanian town in 1944. As regards the research methodology, the case study is based on a life-story interview and the qualitative analysis of the two notebooks.

家庭食谱——家庭记忆的对象
本文从记忆研究的角度对家庭烹饪书进行了分析。它的主要目标是展示这些是塑造家庭记忆的物品,有助于保存并将其代代相传。第一部分概述了理论框架,讨论了自制烹饪书的多层次内容和意义,以及它们与剪贴簿之间的相似之处,作为可以引发自愿(或非自愿)记忆的对象。本书还研究了其他对这个问题至关重要的理论问题:个人记忆和家庭记忆之间的复杂关系,构成家庭记忆的层次,家庭聚餐如何塑造家庭记忆,以及被视为普鲁斯特式装置的食谱。第二部分提出了一个案例研究,探讨了理论部分讨论的各个方面的具体方式,由1944年出生在罗马尼亚城镇的一名妇女的两本食谱笔记本说明。至于研究方法,个案研究是基于一个生活故事的采访和定性分析的两个笔记本。
