  Abstract:  Julie’s Julia - A Case of Cultural Appropriation. This study focuses on ‘new domesticity’ and on a related feature film, Julie and Julia (2009). ‘New domesticity’ defines the resurgent and fast growing interest in homemaking on the part of a considerable number of educated, middle-class American women. Nora Ephron’s film documents the inner transformation of one such woman, Julie Powell, who cooks her way through Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking. The Julie/Julia parallelism represents an example of cultural appropriation, which the film adopts in an oblique manner.

Keywords: new domesticity, cultural appropriation, Julia Child, dramatic persuasiveness, audience response, feminism, myth.
