Konflikte um die Zukunft der Landwirtschaft
Die Herausbildung eines corporate-environmental food regimes bringt in Deutschland zwei Gegenbewegungen hervor. Die progressive Bewegung kritisiert die Umweltmaßnahmen in der Agrarpolitik als unzureichend und fordert tiefgreifende strukturelle Veränderungen. Die konservative Bewegung hingegen lehnt Umweltauflagen weitgehend ab und wendet sich gegen eine sozial-ökologische Transformation. Der Beitrag stellt die Ergebnisse von zwei quantitativen Pr…

Insegurança alimentar e desigualdades alimentares no Brasil no contexto da pandemia
O artigo analisa a situação de insegurança alimentar (IA) e segurança alimentar (SA) no Brasil, destacando seus condicionantes e a ocorrência desigual entre grupos populacionais. A partir de dados de uma pesquisa de opinião de 2020, o conceito de desigualdades alimentares é utilizado para interpretar os resultados, considerando três dimensões: multidimensionalidade, escalas espaciais e marcadores interseccionais. Também é examinado o papel do Bol…
Broadening the Climate Movement
Climate movements led by students and the youth worldwide (and in particular, those in richer economies) have been recognized as having a formidable voice and making important contributions towards a more radical societal transformation to face the climate crisis. However, little is said about the contribution of popular sectors, who have been mobilizing for decades and demanding broader structural transformations—with proposals that tackle envir…
Soberanía alimentaria y feminismo popular en Brasil
La Marcha das Margaridas es una coalición de movimientos feministas y de mujeres, movimientos agrarios, sindicatos y organizaciones internacionales, que surgió en el año 2000. El proceso es liderado por organizaciones de mujeres que forman parte de una confederación de trabajadores y trabajadoras rurales. Aunque su programa inicial incluía reivindicaciones de clase enfocadas en el género para el reconocimiento del trabajo de las mujeres en la pro…
Movimentos sociais como agentes de mudança
What does the diversity of social movements and food initiatives tell us about processes of social change? I argue that they offer a productive analytical lens to observe social change because they identify injustices and dynamics of inequalities in the food system and are actively engaged in transforming these. Alternative local food initiatives react to the environmental impacts of globalized food relations; food sovereignty movements highlight…
Unionism and feminism
Building on social movement analytics of coalition formation, we have established a dialogue with social theory on social inequalities and feminist scholarship on solidarity, bringing together the analytical sharpness of social movement studies with political and normative debates on solidarity building. We suggest that the processes of building solidarities that are key to coalition formation are best understood when taking into account four exp…
Sistemas Alimentares Em Disputa
Este trabalho tem por objetivo analisar como ativismos rurais no Brasil reagiram à pandemia da Covid-19. Para tanto, mapeamos as ações das principais organizações que congregam agricultores familiares e camponeses no país, nos primeiros sete meses da pandemia, de março a setembro de 2020: Confederação Nacional dos Trabalhadores Rurais Agricultores e Agricultoras Familiares (Contag), Confederação Nacional dos Trabalhadores e Trabalhadoras na Agric…
Food sovereignty and popular feminism in Brazil
La Marcha das Margaridas est une coalition de mouvements de femmes et de féministes, de mouvements agraires, de syndicats et d'organisations internationales qui a vu le jour en 2000. Les organisations de femmes, au sein d'un syndicat rural, dirigent le processus. En commençant par des revendications - fondées sur le genre et la classe sociale, pour la reconnaissance du travail des femmes dans la production alimentaire, l'accès aux titres fonciers…
Feminist Solidarities and Coalitional Identity
The Marcha das Margaridas is a mass mobilization in Brazil led by women's organizations within rural unions in alliance with other social movements and nongovernmental organizations, including transnational partners such as the World March of Women. The main political subjects are rural working women, a political identity that articulates gender, class, and urban-rural inequalities. These are foundational for the popular feminism of the Marcha. A…

Food and social change
In this introduction, we have asked a very classical sociological question and brought together interdisciplinary efforts to critically approach it, focusing on a basic issue: food. We briefly reconstruct the main approaches to social change in sociological theory and then identify main themes with which food studies have contributed to this debate. If, to avoid normative and formal approaches, theories of change require contextualization in orde…

The Poor's Struggle for Political Incorporation
Undone Science and Counter-Expertise
STS and social movement scholars have shown the importance of ‘getting undone science done’ to advance the goals of social movements fighting environmental health injustice. The production and mobilization of counter-expertise, meaning the reliance on expertise, broadly construed, to contest regulatory decisions based on scientific knowledge, must be further analyzed by differentiating among types of expertise and strategies to mobilize them. In …

Global Capitalism and the Nation State in the Struggles over GM Crops in Brazil
The introduction of biotechnology is part of a global process of structural change in agriculture characterized by an increased integration of world agriculture with high corporate control. However, as the legal competence to allow the planting and trade of genetically modified (GM) crops commonly lies at the level of the nation state, this remains strategic in the politics of GM crops, both for actors promoting the technology and for social move…
Transnational Discursive Opportunities and Social Movement Risk Frames Opposing GMOs
Research on social movement frames has been cumulative. Recently, scholars started studying the structural incentives and constraints for claim-makers by relying on the concept of discursive opportunity structure (DOS) while bringing the public sphere and the media to the centre of analysis of political contention. This article draws on these literatures to investigate social movement campaigns against genetically modified (GM) crops and pesticid…
Social Disputes over GMOs
This review provides an overview of social research on genetically modified crops (GM crops), also known as genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Academic inquiry on the social disputes over the future of agriculture biotechnology has multiplied since the mid‐1990s, when the first seeds were approved for market commercialization. This essay identifies and describes five prominent analytical approaches to explain public controversies over GMOs: t…
Risco e modernidade uma nova teoria social
O artigo versa sobre a teoria da modernização reflexiva de Ulrich Beck, considerando a sua recente expansão com a tese de uma sociedade global do risco. Dois elementos são analisados: a noção de risco como categoria sociológica e a relação entre os conceitos de modernidade e de reflexividade. Quanto ao primeiro, levanta-se a questão sobre a reivindicada centralidade do conceito "risco" como categoria sociológica e sobre o alcance de uma teoria so…
Sociologia de risco
Esta resenha pretende trazer um pouco dos argumentos recentes da sociologia de risco de Ulrich Beck para o debate brasileiro sobre risco. Em sua recente obra, que poderia ser traduzida em portugues como Sociedade global de risco: na busca da seguranca perdida , o autor se baseia em experiencias como o terrorismo global, a ameaca de crise ecologica e as crises financeiras internacionais para defender o conceito de uma sociedade global de risco. Es…
