| description | The role of the Institute of Nutrition of the University of Brazil as a place of generation of scientific and political ideas is analysed through research in articles published in its scientific journal Brazilian Archives of Nutrition (Arquivos Brasileiros de Nutrição) during the period 1944-1960. Those ideas stressed the correct feeding of the public as a means of raising Brazil as a State, in close dialogue with key interpretations and theories, originated in the Brazilian social and political thought, which tried to explain the national specificities and potentialities. The historical hunger in Brazil, according to the ideas vehiculated by the Institute, consisted in the major national issue, and was responsible for all the other problems of the country – such as diseases, low labor productivity, lack of a political role for the people, and underdevelopment – and was determined by socioeconomic causes and absence of protectiveness by the State. Taking the underfeeding as the epicenter of the other national problems, those ideas offered up an alternate explanation to those already belonging to the traditions of the Brazilian social thought, and have been formulated with the help of intellectual elaboration of new theoretical elements of understanding of Brazil. Remaking Brazil by the resolution of its barbarism/civilization dichotomy, according to an orchestration of knowledge, rights, education, and new habits – through feeding – would consist in a task to be driven by the rationality of modern science inspiring social progress, and through changes in society led by the State. |

A partir de artigos publicados na revista científica Arquivos Brasileiros de Nutrição no período 1944-1960, analisase o papel do Instituto de Nutrição da Universidade do Brasil como lugar de ideias científico-políticas que pregavam a garantia da alimentação pública como um meio de se elevar o Brasil, mantendo um diálogo com chaves de leitura e teorias disponíveis no pensamento social brasileiro de explicação da especificidade nacional e de suas potencialidades. A histórica fome do brasileiro, segundo tais ideias, representava a principal questão nacional, causadora de todos os demais problemas do país – como doenças, baixa produtividade, falta de um papel político para o povo e subdesenvolvimento – e era determinada por causas socioeconômicas e por desproteção por parte do Estado. Valendose da má alimentação como epicentro dos demais males nacionais, oferecia-se uma explicação alternativa às já pertencentes ao acervo da tradição do pensamento social, formulada com ajuda da elaboração intelectual de novos elementos teóricos de compreensão do Brasil. Refazer o Brasil pela resolução de sua dicotomia barbárie/civilização, em uma orquestração de conhecimento, direitos, educação, novos hábitos – através da alimentação – seria, segundo as ideias analisadas, trabalho movido pela racionalidade da moderna ciência inspirando o progresso social, mediante modificações na sociedade lideradas pelo Estado. 2011-02-21 2022-03-18T16:17:19Z 2022-03-18T16:17:19Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/perspectivas/article/view/3558 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/61310 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/perspectivas/article/view/3558/3327 Copyright (c) 2011 Perspectivas: Revista de Ciências Sociais application/pdf Universidade Estadual Paulista / UNESP Perspectivas: Revista de Ciências Sociais; v. 37 (2010) 1984-0241 0101-3459 |
