Azeitonas, pão e kebab: uma abordagem sociojurídica dos usos da comida como instrumento de opressão e resistência

Given its multidimensionality, we understand food as a means to give substance to fundamental rights, repressions, resistances, and struggles for rights, in processes involving hostility, criminalization, solidarity, and access to justice. In the “Olives” section, we address the conflict between Israel and Palestine, where food and hunger bring to the debate the silencing of rights, power dynamics, oppression, and resistance. In the “Bread” section, we discuss the criminalization of solidarity, highlighting tensions between neoliberal policies and social movements that seek to mitigate their effects. We also analyse how neoliberal populism uses the rhetoric of securitization to marginalize social groups and perpetuate inequalities. In the “Kebab” section, we discuss issues related to urban decorum, examining how local urban policies reflect and reinforce social prejudices and discrimination.
