| Abstract | |
This research aims to advance in the comprehension of the problems related to the way in which the working class realizes its food practices. Firstly we start make a critique of the food security concept and highlight how national and international policies based on it were not able to eradicate hunger. In order to overcome the understanding of food as an elementary or biological need we consider all the practices (produce, purchase, prepare and consume) related to food and highlight that because of the reproduction of capitalist social relations these practices are alienated. In the second part of this work we take into account the urbanization process to explicit how spatial segregation interferes in working class reproduction and consequently in the way it realizes the food practices. We have conducted interviews in two different neighbourhoods from São Paulo (Brás and Grajaú) in order to deep the analysis and understand better how the critical urbanization weigh over the food practices. In the last chapter, we try to interpret the difficulties and constraints that characterizes the food practices of our interviewees highlighting the way they deal with the lack of food and hunger.
