Episode Synopsis


This bonus content is a reading from Platypus, the CASTAC Blog. The full post by Ashley Thuthao Keng Dam can be read at https://blog.castac.org/2023/03/dining-with-the-diaspora-khmerican-digital-gastrodiplomacy/. About the post: What people are eating, how they are eating it, and why they are eating it have been debated throughout time and space. With increased engagements with food with different types and layers of technologies, online food discourse has expanded rapidly. Yet people have been forming and joining online communities to share their ideas, experiences, and perspectives around food in multi-modal ways for decades. In this post, the author develops the idea of digital food spaces (DFS) to refer to these communities, defining digital food spaces as online communities and platforms dedicated to the sharing of food-centered ideas and media.
