Who’s Afraid of the Kitchen? Representations of the Kitchen in Three US Films, The Children’s Hour, Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Blue Jasmine
This article examines the depiction of the female protagonist(s) in relation to the kitchen in three films, William Wyler’s
(1961), based on Lillian Hellman’s play, Blake Edwards’s
(1961), based on Truman Capote’s novella, and Woody Allen’s
(2013). Although the release year of the first two films might suggest they belong to the heyday of “a woman’s place is in the kitchen,” neither straightforwardly bows to the patriarchal cliché, even as their respective protagonists are shown in the kitchen at some point. The third film resonates in part with each of the other two, with
in its socio-therapeutic approach (in this case relative to women’s choice to actively make their lives) and with
in its glamorous avoidance of kitchen-related domesticity. In
, the kitchen furnishes the protagonist a homely background to express her grief, hopes and social views of women’s self-empowerment, whilst partially depending on the ‘supporting role’ of her sister, the classically ‘domestic’ woman. I interpret the films against a brief historicisation of the making of women’s kitchen-related domesticity in modern times and of contemporary views on the kitchen’s ‘homeliness’ in the West.

Coastal Foragers of the Gran Desierto
The result of nearly twenty years of interdisciplinary research,
this volume contributes to the archaeological and
paleoenvironmental knowledge of an important but lightly
investigated hyperarid coastline at the heart of the Sonoran
Desert. Focused on the coast near Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, Mexico,
Coastal Foragers of the Gran Desierto examines the diverse
groups occupying the coast for salt, abundant food sources, and
shells for ornament manufacturing. The archaeological patterns
demonstrated by the data gathered lead to the conclusion that,
since ancient times, this coastal landscape was not a marginal zone
but rather an important source of food and trade goods, and a
pilgrimage destination that influenced broad and diverse
communities across the Sonoran Desert and beyond.
