War of the Chefs: Women and Men Chefs in Professional Kitchens
Journal Title: Moment Dergi - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Unlike the domestic kitchen that is counted as the space of women, the professional kitchens are seen as a space of men. As a part of the division of labor according to gender, cooking is a part of women’s role and the kitchen is the space for that. However, the professional kitchen is a space for men with all the set of characteristics associated with men and this space is structured with these allocated characteristics. Women are either kept outside this masculine space or positioned in lower statues in the professional space. Despite the exclusion and the control by men in the space, women still can exit in these professional kitchens. This article examines whether women chefs exist in these professional kitchens in the films that take the professional kitchens as their subject matter, especially how the women chefs exist in this men dominated space and how men and women are represented in these films. For this purpose, the films, Burnt (John Wells, 2015), (Le Chef, Daniel Cohen, 2012), (No Reservation, Scott Hicks, 2007), (Les Saveurs Du Palais, Christian Vincent, 2012) were watched and the representations of women chefs in these films are discussed in these films.
