Food, passion and marginalised young people : technologies of the self in Jamie\u27s kitchen

A passion for food that is understood in certain ways – slow, organic, not industrialised – plays a central role in the drama of the successful and popular Jamie’s Kitchen (2002) and Jamie’s Kitchen Australia (2006). Large parts of the drama in these shows revolve around an apparent lack of passion that is displayed by the marginalised, unemployed young people that are the central characters in this story. In this paper I examine the ways in which these accounts of food, passion, and the training of marginalised young people expose some of the challenges and opportunities faced by marginalised young people as they seek to transition into the uncertain and risky labour markets of 21st century capitalism. I argue that Michel Foucault’s (1988) concept of technologies of the self enables us to understand passion, and its particular manifestations in Jamie’s Kitchen, and in the training of marginalised young people, as a powerful technology of self transformation. The drama of Jamie’s Kitchen suggests that as a technology of the self passion for food promises to provide precarious, possibly temporary, forms of salvation, meaning and purpose for the young people engaged in the Fifteen Foundation’s social enterprise transitional labour market program

Selected excerpts from the Oral History Project interview. The full transcript may be restricted. To request access please contact the Simon’s Rock College Archives. In that first year, I managed to wedge my foot in the door, and the College never managed to close it after that. I’d had eight years of experience in the classroom. Nothing prepared me for Simon’s Rock. The contentiousness, the disputatiousness, the outspokenness, the critical eye that students would turn on you. I never felt so vulnerable, so exposed. Partly because of the size of the classes, and partly because of the nature of the students. Students came here because they weren’t fitting in in high school, and they wanted something else. It persists until this day, I think, that even students who are in their very first semester think that somehow they own Simon’s Rock, and a new faculty member has got to prove him- or herself. I think some new faculty arrive today maybe better prepared, in a sense. But it was rough. It was rough going. I felt really lucky they hired me to teach part time the second year. I must have been doing something right. I’d never been in a situation where if I handed back a set of papers in the morning, I had to go to the Dining Hall where the students who got Ds and Fs would be eating lunch. At the University of New Mexico, or Colorado State University, the students disappeared. There was this huge buffer between you and whatever outrage they were feeling about you. But here everything was so much more personal and intimate, and I wasn’t used to that. So, it took a while to sort of develop a different kind of toughness, or resilience in the face of students saying to me, “I think that’s bullshit!” “Oh!” [Laughter.] “Well, wait a second...” Nobody had ever spoken that way to me at other places.https://digitalcommons.bard.edu/sr-oral_hist/1012/thumbnail.jp
