Abstract
Unable to withstand external competition, Taiwan’s banana industry has been in decline since the 1980s. Qishan, once known as the Banana Town has also lost its glorious days. Government efforts to transform the place into an agri-tourism attraction resulted in a loss of placeness. Recently, a group of youths set up the Youthbanana social enterprise attempt to represent the place through the banana cake culinary show. Using in-depth ethnographical studies, this paper looks to provide a new perspective to present the banana discourse to narrate a representative place through cooking banana.
