Battles of hunger

Hunger is a constructed phenomenon, inherent to human societies, whatever the level of available resources, political regimes, or governance. The relationship between hunger and politics is tight: hunger crystallises a balance of power giving rise to multiple battles, both material and symbolic. The texts presented here highlight the lived experiences, practices and standards of individual, collective and institutional actors, and their multiple conflicts and interests at stake. The double political and empirical prism adopted here generally appears to be a blind spot, or even an unconsidered topic, for many institutions (states, aid and development organisations, etc.), which define the fight against hunger in terms of standardised objectives, according to a process often presented as consensual. However, the nature of powers and antagonistic visions of hunger contradicts these technocratic readings: battles arise and crystallise as a result of relations of domination, opposing logics and interests. This issue addresses the controversies about the definition and delimitation of hunger; hunger as a source of demands for rights and resources, or as a protest tool; the use of hunger for the social and political control of populations. With this Tracés issue, we hope to provide knowledge and insights that will contribute to making hunger a public problem and food a common good.

Les sciences humaines et sociales au travail (III): Réseaux socionumériques et travail de la recherche
Social sciences and humanities at work (III): Digital networks and the work of research

For the last fifteen years, the development of digital social networks (DSN) and their uses have changed the public space as well as professional, personal and militant practices. What effect has this had on scientific production and on the professional identity of its creators? What do DSN say about the evolution of scientific professions?

Les sciences humaines et sociales au travail (I). Faire revue
Academic journals in the making

Considering the chains of editorial work, the temporalities and social conditions of production, the place assigned to every male and female participant in the publishing process, this issue of Tracés aims to reflect on the effects of the "academic journal" format on the production and reception of knowledge in the humanities and social sciences.
