Bu makale Louise DeSalvo’nun çalışmalarını maddi kültür perspektifinden inceler. Öncelikle, başta Vertigo (1996) ve Chasing Ghosts: A Memoir of a Father, Gone to Work (2016) olmak üzere, DeSalvo’nun anılarından yola çıkarak İtalyan Amerikalı ailelerde kadınların nasıl birer nesne olarak algılandığını ele alacağım. Daha sonra, DeSalvo’nun kuramsal metinlerinden (Writing as a Way of Healing, 1999) yararlanarak, onun yazılarındaki maddi doku olarak ifade ettiğim özelliklere, yani yazma sürecinde nesneleri kullanmasına ve onlardan esinlenmesine değineceğim. Son olarak, Irina D. Mihalache ve Elizabeth Zanoni’yi izleyerek, Crazy in the Kitchen’da (2004), DeSalvo’nun, üçüncü nesil İtalyan Amerikalı bir kadın olarak, yemek hazırlama ve tüketimiyle ilgili sorunlarla nasıl baş ettiğini incelemek için yemeğin maddeselliği (4) fikri ve bu fikrin birbiriyle ilişkili üç yönü (yemek, çevre ve temsil) üzerinde duracağım. Makale böylece, farklı metinsel temsillerin alternatif bir okumasını sunarak maddi kültür ve kimlik arasındaki ilişki üzerine yapılan çalışmalara katkıda bulunmaktadır.
