While much of this is a consequence of “traveling cultures” spark ed by migration and the maturation of diasporic communities (Clifford 1997) , decades of effort to cultivate culinary soft power (i.e. gastrodiplomacy) have also contributed to the rising profiles of Southeast Asian cuisines o utside the region. This has often prompted a culinary revaluation of domest ic cuisines, as various aspects of dietary wisdom are rediscovered abroad i n light of global food trends. Fermentation, edible wild plants, heirloom c rop varieties, botanical ingredients, and famous regional foods have become rallying points for younger generations’ interest in local food ways. Mate rially, the deterritorialization occurring for historical, indigenous agri- food systems is more frequently being followed by globally anchored reterri torialization, in which food heritage construction is increasingly an inten tional (rather than defensive) process, driven by young people, social medi a, chefs, and global institutions (James Farrer, various; Tomlinson 1999). This phenomenon is also visible in the rise of food studies and gastronomy programs in higher education, which problematize linear conceptualization o f culinary evolution.\n\nThis panel seeks to gather research evaluating the global circuits and domestic anchoring of Southeast Asian cuisine and food heritage. Diasporic influences are among the most obvious drivers here and we welcome contributions on this topic. However, we are equally interested in lesserresearched drivers of domestic agri-food valorization, such as fe edback from gastrodiplomacy, renewed interest in food literacy and foodie-i sm, responses to newer forms of food journalism or research, or culinary de colonization among emergent middle and upper classes (Inglis and Gimlin 200 9). We welcome contributions that help to hart a course forward for critica l food studies in/about Southeast Asia.
