ABSTRACT
En las sociedades industrializadas se está reflexionando cada vez más sobre el impacto de la inseguridad alimentaria, entendida como la dificultad para asegurar la accesibilidad de una parte de la población a los recursos alimentarios suficientes para garantizar su subsistencia y bienestar. Con base en datos recogidos a partir de una investigación en curso en España, este artículo discute, por un lado, si la actual crisis económica está revirtiendo algunas de las tendencias positivas que el sistema agroalimentario industrial había favorecido, como la disminución de las diferencias sociales en el consumo y el derecho a la alimentación. Por otro lado, reflexiona acerca de la creciente precarización en las estrategias alimentarias y en el estado de salud de la población, así como sobre la necesidad de considerar la desigualdad social como variable explicativa de las diversas maneras de alimentarse.
This article analyzes the reasons why food insecurity in Spain must increasingly be understood as lack of access to sufficient food resources to guarantee the survival and wellbeing of part of the population. Using data collected in an ongoing research project, two possible causes for this are explored. First, it is argued that certain positive developments that seemed firmly established, such as recognition of the right to an adequate diet and the leveling out of social differences in food consumption, are now being reversed by the current economic crisis. Second, the analysis focuses on strategies people in precarious circumstances use to obtain food, their relationship to health, and the need to take social inequality into consideration as an explanatory variable in accounting for different ways of procuring daily sustenance.

Associadas a projetos de construção da ideia de nação, no Brasil monárquico foram encaminhadas, pelo governo imperial, algumas iniciativas no sentido de materializar propostas de educação física. O objetivo deste artigo é investigar os sentidos e significados atribuídos ao tema na legislação e nos relatórios anuais do Ministério dos Negócios do Império (1831-1889), com especial interesse pelo que se refere ao Rio de Janeiro. A abordagem do assunto nas fontes pesquisadas evidencia que as visões sobre a educação física se deram a partir de uma matriz que articulava concepções de moral, saúde e civilização, tendo que lidar com as condições concretas de um país recém-independente, periférico e com uma burocracia ainda em formação.
In association with its nation building projects, the imperial government in Brazil under monarchic rule took some concrete actions based on proposals for physical education. The aim of this article is to investigate the meanings and significations attributed to this subject in the legislation and the annual reports issued by the Ministry of Business of the Empire (1831-1889), giving special attention to Rio de Janeiro. The approach to the subject in the sources researched demonstrates that the views of physical education took shape through a web of ideas that associated moral, health and civilization conceptions, in a bid to deal with the concrete circumstances of a newly independent peripheral nation with a bureaucratic structure in the process of formation.
