Abstract:

 This Article examines how Moroccan gastronomy constitutes a principle element of immaterial cultural patrimony that is located at the intersection of social practices, identity constructions, and symbolic representations. Far from being reduced to a simple eating activity, Moroccan gastronomy strengthens a diverse historical heritage, shaped by linsguistic variation and the plurality of linguistic groups. All in all, Moroccan cuisine is considered as a form of cultural and identity expression, profoundly anchored in the collective memory. This is why, we will see how Moroccan gastronomy has become a dynamic space of meaning production and identity affirmation. This article is based on a semiotic approach in order to demonstrate that culinary art , and particularly couscous forms a substantial patrimony functioning as a cultural and identity marker that articulates collective memory and social values.
