| Abstract | |
In 2014, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) reported with great prominence the removal of Brazil from the Hunger Map. This achievement was celebrated in the country as the result of a set of social initiatives and programs implemented since 2003 under the aegis of the Zero Hunger Program. More than fifteen years after its creation, the program is still subject of discussion, despite having been diluted in several food security policies, and also distribution and income generation policies - those which were recently terminated. Understanding Brazil's removal from the Hunger Map as a "paradigmatic event", I sought in this dissertation to unveil the practices of hunger production as the main object of attention and government in the trajectory of Zero Hunger social policies. By recovering the discourses mobilized in the construction of the "Paradigm of Food and Nutritional Security" in direct relation to the production of hunger as a social and sociological problem, I seek to question the ways in which hunger is framed in the practical construction of a public policy that needs to define, measure, and assess in order to exist. It is also central the questioning of the uses and effects of discourses and knowledge that produced a certain framework for this phenomenon. Precisely by understanding the productivity of the non-definition of hunger, this research sheds light on the technopolitical processes of its transformation into the category of "Food Insecurity". Through an ethnography of the practices of "framing hunger", which has as its main locus the production of the "Zero Hunger Archive", I seek to explore the different political mechanisms that conformed central categories in the institution of a new form of governmentality in the country. Notions such as rights, assistance, and needs are brought to the forefront in an attempt to tension the relationship between a "government of hunger" and a "government through hunger" and the " citizenization" of certain subjects. It is through the attention to such movements of transformation and stabilization that I am able to show the ways in which hunger has become known, defined and consolidated as a problem of the State. Creating, thus, subjects and populations and being enacted by mechanisms, apparatuses, and epistemological disputes, while it has been removed from the concrete experiences of a population. By seriously considering the methodological premise of looking at the processes of (con)formation of hunger through the ethnography of the Zero Hunger policies, I was able to show how hunger was transformed into a metaphor and the effects of this stabilization (AU) | |
