Jahrhundert) Thoms, Ulrike (2016-03-01) 2016-03-01 text txt rdacontent Computermedien c rdamedia Online-Ressource cr rdacarrier Hunger has never been a stable term. How people have understood and defined it, changed over time, along with a changing understanding of the body, its functions, physiological mechanisms and its needs. The paper follows these changes in a long-term multiperspective approach for the last two centuries. It argues, that hunger first was understood as a dangerous feeling, that eventually developed political power. To define hunger by physiology can thus be meant and understood as a means to articulate bodily needs and to point to the necessity of their satisfaction. Nonetheless, these definitions of hunger are not neutral or objective, moreover they may not be used for certain groups of people or under certain economic or social conditions, they may even be counterproductive, as they reduce empathy with the hungry. <a href="http://bodypolitics.de/de/">Body Politics </a> 3 (2015), Heft 5, ISSN 2196-4793 Hunger Krieg Hungerforschung Wissenschaftsgeschichte Körpergeschichte Emotionsgeschichte article Universität Erfurt Philosophische Fakultät host institution his 3(2015):5<135 Universität Erfurt, Philosophische Fakultät Body Politics 2196-4793 dbt_mods_00030500 https://www.db-thueringen.de/receive/dbt_mods_00027207 object in context https://www.db-thueringen.de/servlets/MCRFileNodeServlet/dbt_derivate_00033048/Heft_5_08_Thoms_Hunger.pdf raw object https://www.db-thueringen.de/rsc/thumbnail/dbt_mods_00027207.png preview https://www.db-thueringen.de/receive/dbt_mods_00027207 uri
