Abstract
This chapter offers a rich socio-cultural discourse analysis of the culinary heritage of Turkey that promotes the local food heritage nationally and internationally by analysing two government websites and policy texts. First of all, the chapter attempts to crystalize various factors which influence the intangible cultural heritage management in policy framework by providing an overview of the intangible cultural heritage management in Turkey. Then, it traces back the development of food culture in Turkey and its relationship with governing strategies by locating the culinary heritage and its representations in the digital domain. Finally, the last part of the chapter is dedicated to data analysis of official food related websites which aims to analyse the online representation of culinary heritage by using computer-mediated discourse analysis.
