ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the intimate everyday engagement residents in Kefraya have with certain types of kouroum and their produce, and looks to elucidate the ways such engagements are entwined in affective relations, kinship and memory. Despite the prevalence of the vine and the economic significance it holds as a site of commodified wine production and livelihoods for Kefraya residents. Moreover, these two spheres of reproduction and production are entangled and woven together through the embodied experiences and social relations of Kefraya's residents and workers. The sensorial characteristics of food revealed through eating thus narrate historicities of bodies and their relatedness to place. With such forms of narration, the kouroum is re(produced) as a space where one not only enacts these histories and shares cultural memories on an everyday basis, but also picks the very sustenance from which to survive.
