RESUMO

Esta es una historia de políticas públicas contra el hambre en Latinoamérica. Y de la comida como objeto de estudio. Una versión compuesta por historiadores y antropólogos que escarbaron en archivos con el fin de entender cómo y qué habían hecho, tanto funcionarios como nutricionistas, para reconocer y combatir la falta de alimentos para los latinoamericanos durante el siglo XX.


This is a story of public policies against hunger in Latin America. And of food as an object of study. A version composed of historians and anthropologists who delved into archives in order to understand how and what both officials and nutritionists had done to recognize and combat the lack of food for Latin Americans during the 20th century.

RESUMO

This article analyzes the logics, interests and contingencies present in experts' and legislators' attempts to develop and sanitize the dairy system in the city of Bogotá, from 1938 to 1960. These efforts were framed by an institutional architecture from the municipal to the national level, and a context of increasing state intervention in nutrition issues and international technical cooperation on health projects. Despite the failure to improve milk quality or increase milk consumption, this case study shows us the effects of legislation that was ill-adapted to local circumstances in terms of the material infrastructure of the system and the commercial interests behind product quality regulations.


Este artículo analiza las lógicas, intereses y contingencias presentes en los intentos de expertos y legisladores por fomentar e higienizar el sistema lechero en la ciudad de Bogotá, entre 1938 y 1960. Estos esfuerzos se enmarcaron en una arquitectura institucional que iba de lo municipal a lo nacional, y en un contexto de creciente intervención del Estado en cuestiones nutricionales y de proyectos internacionales de cooperación técnica en salud. A pesar del fracaso en mejorar la calidad de la leche y aumentar su consumo, este estudio de caso nos muestra los efectos de una legislación poco adaptada a las circunstancias locales en la infraestructura material del sistema y los intereses comerciales detrás de las normativas de calidad del producto.

RESUMO

En la actualidad, y como ha evidenciado la pandemia de la COVID-19, las políticas nacionales de nutrición y seguridad alimentaria en América Latina se ven enfrentadas a abordar los problemas de obesidad, desnutrición y hambruna, más allá de una mirada biomédica y de asistencia alimentaria puntual. También es fundamental tener en cuenta las dimensiones sociales, económicas, culturales y políticas del fenómeno. Por ejemplo, las brechas culturales entre las recomendaciones alimentarias basadas en nutrientes (y en guías estandarizadas) y la forma como la gente realmente come y les asigna significados a los alimentos han generado no pocas tensiones, ansiedades y efectos contraproducentes a la hora de implementar políticas públicas de salud nutricional en la región. Por lo demás, los reiterados fracasos por eliminar el hambre del planeta y la creciente epidemia global de la obesidad han puesto de manifiesto la urgencia de construir perspectivas más integrales y sensibles a los contextos locales para abordar y gestionar la cuestión alimentaria. El campo de los estudios sociales de nutrición y alimentación apunta justamente a articular diversos enfoques disciplinarios de las ciencias sociales y de la salud para analizar, en conjunto, los múltiples aspectos que configuran el llamado fenómeno alimentario


Currently, and as evidenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, national nutrition and food security policies in Latin America are faced with the challenge of addressing the problems of obesity, malnutrition and famine, beyond a biomedical approach and specific food assistance. It is also essential to take into account the social, economic, cultural and political dimensions of the phenomenon. For example, the cultural gaps between nutrient-based dietary recommendations (and standardized guidelines) and the way people actually eat and assign meanings to food have generated many tensions, anxieties and counterproductive effects when implementing public nutritional health policies in the region. Moreover, the repeated failures to eliminate hunger from the planet and the growing global epidemic of obesity have highlighted the urgency of building more comprehensive and locally sensitive perspectives to address and manage the food issue. The field of social studies of nutrition and food aims precisely to articulate diverse disciplinary approaches from the social and health sciences to analyze, as a whole, the multiple aspects that make up the so-called food phenomenon

RESUMO

Desde los primeros casos reportados de contagios de covid-19 en América Latina, durante marzo de 2020, las consecuencias de la epidemia han concentrado el interés de columnas e investigaciones periodísticas y científicas, y también han inspirado el diseño de políticas sanitarias y sociales para, respectivamente, contener la pandemia y aminorar sus devastadores efectos en la salud y la economía de la población. Cuando comenzamos a pensar este dosier, una de las discusiones que emergió fue la forma como el covid-19 se ha convertido en un recordatorio de que las epidemias, a pesar de los avances biomédicos, siguen siendo uno de los grandes desafíos para la ciencia, la política y la economía y, en última instancia, para la preservación de la humanidad. Se nos hizo evidente que estábamos contemplando un desgarrador ejemplo, a la vista de todos, del mensaje central del campo de los estudios sociales de la salud: que los procesos de salud y enfermedad son el resultado de un andamiaje biológico, social y cultural que articula significados, entornos, representaciones y estructuras económicas y de poder particulares.


Since the first reported cases of covid-19 infection in Latin America in March 2020, the consequences of the epidemic have been the focus of journalistic and scientific columns and research, and have also inspired the design of health and social policies to, respectively, contain the pandemic and lessen its devastating effects on the health and economy of the population. When we began thinking about this dossier, one of the discussions that emerged was how covid-19 has become a reminder that epidemics, despite biomedical advances, remain one of the great challenges to science, politics, and economics and, ultimately, to the preservation of humanity. It became clear to us that we were contemplating a harrowing example, in plain view, of the central message of the field of social studies of health: that health and disease processes are the result of a biological, social and cultural scaffolding that articulates particular meanings, environments, representations, and economic and power structures.

RESUMO

Argument Using the notion of styles of knowledge we refer to the ways diverse scientific communities claim to produce true knowledge, their understandings regarding the attitudes and values that scientists should have in order to grasp natural and social reality, and the practices and technologies developed within such styles. This paper analyzes scientific and medical enterprises that explored the relationship between environment, population, and society in Colombia between 1850 and 1920. We argue that similar styles of knowledge production were shared in human geography, medical geography, and climatic physiology at the mid-nineteenth century; and that some physicians working in bacteriology and physiology since the 1880s established epistemic boundaries between their work and earlier scientific activities, while others found these distinctions irrelevant. However, the historical actors committed to any of the styles of knowledge production explored in this article agreed on the local specificity of their objects of inquiry, therefore questioning European science. These styles of knowledge production also shaped different ways of perceiving and addressing national problems. Hence, this article is a contribution to the recent literature on both historical epistemology and social and cultural history of science and medicine.

RESUMO

El cuerpo humano, con su salud y su enfermedad, no es solo una entidad biológica regida por leyes naturales o el conjunto de órganos y huesos que lo constituyen, sumado a los agentes orgánicos que alteran su funcionamiento. De forma fundamental, el cuerpo es, a la vez, contenedor de percepciones y significados, un medio de expresión y un lugar de intervención, control y domesticación. En él confluyen y se expresan saberes, culturas y poderes. En las sociedades actuales no somos conscientes de que nuestra salud y bienestar corporal y mental, incluyendo la forma como nos relacionamos con ellos, responden a concepciones y modelos hegemónicos determinados por diversos factores políticos, económicos, sociales y culturales. Así lo ha señalado un gran número de trabajos que, desde las Ciencias Sociales, han convertido al cuerpo humano y su relación con la salud y la enfermedad, con lo normal y lo patológico, en un campo dinámico de estudio y problematización.


The human body, with its health and disease, is not only a biological entity governed by natural laws or the set of organs and bones that constitute it, together with the organic agents that alter its functioning. Fundamentally, the body is, at the same time, a container of perceptions and meanings, a means of expression and a place of intervention, control and domestication. It is where knowledge, cultures and powers converge and are expressed. In today's societies, we are not aware that our health and physical and mental wellbeing, including the way we relate to them, respond to hegemonic conceptions and models determined by various political, economic, social and cultural factors. This has been pointed out by a large number of works that, from the Social Sciences, have turned the human body and its relationship with health and disease, with the normal and the pathological, into a dynamic field of study and problematization.
