| Zusammenfassung: | On an Empty Stomach examines the practical techniques humanitarians have used to manage and measure starvation, from Victorian "scientific" soup kitchens to space-age, high-protein foods. Tracing the evolution of these techniques since the start of the nineteenth century, Tom Scott-Smith argues that humanitarianism is not a simple story of progress and improvement but is profoundly shaped by sociopolitical conditions. Aid is often presented as an apolitical and technical project, but the way humanitarians conceive and tackle human needs has always been deeply influenced by culture, politics, and society. These influences extend down to the most detailed mechanisms for measuring malnutrition and providing sustenance. As Scott-Smith shows, over the past century, the humanitarian approach to hunger has redefined food as nutrients and hunger as a medical condition. Aid has become more individualized, medicalized, and rationalized, shaped by modernism in bureaucracy, commerce, and food technology. On an Empty Stomach focuses on the gains and losses that result, examining the complex compromises that arise between efficiency of distribution and quality of care. Scott-Smith concludes that humanitarian groups have developed an approach to the empty stomach that is dependent on compact, commercially produced devices and that is often paternalistic and culturally insensitive |

Tracing the evolution of these techniques since the start of the nineteenth century, Tom Scott-Smith argues that humanitarianism is not a simple story of progress and improvement but is profoundly shaped by sociopolitical conditions. Aid is often presented as an apolitical and technical project, but the way humanitarians conceive and tackle human needs has always been deeply influenced by culture, politics, and society. These influences extend down to the most detailed mechanisms for measuring malnutrition and providing sustenance. As Scott-Smith shows, over the past century, the humanitarian approach to hunger has redefined food as nutrients and hunger as a medical condition. Aid has become more individualized, medicalized, and rationalized, shaped by modernism in bureaucracy, commerce, and food technology. On an Empty Stomach focuses on the gains and losses that result, examining the complex compromises that arise between efficiency of distribution and quality of care. Scott-Smith concludes that humanitarian groups have developed an approach to the empty stomach that is dependent on compact, commercially produced devices and that is often paternalistic and culturally insensitive Geschichte 1850-2020 gnd rswk-swf History Of Science Human Rights Humanitariansim, Hunger, Modernism, International Aid, Food Studies POLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Policy / Agriculture & Food Policy (see also SOCIAL SCIENCE / Agriculture & Food) bisacsh Emergency mass feeding History Food relief History Humanitarian assistance History Nutrition Research History Starvation History Lebensmittelversorgung (DE-588)4034917-2 gnd rswk-swf Humanitäre Hilfe (DE-588)4438965-6 gnd rswk-swf Nahrungsmittelhilfe (DE-588)4123819-9 gnd rswk-swf Humanitäre Hilfe (DE-588)4438965-6 s Nahrungsmittelhilfe (DE-588)4123819-9 s Lebensmittelversorgung (DE-588)4034917-2 s Geschichte 1850-2020 z DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 978-1-5017-4865-3 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe, ebk 978-1-5017-4866-0 https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781501748677 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
