Resumo: Excess discourses and information on food results in commensals not knowing what to eat. The Durkheim concept led the French sociologist Claude Fischler to create the neologism gastro-anomy to refer to the paradox that we face today regarding food: we have never known so much about the effects of food on the body and, curiously, we have never had so many food-related health problems. The present essay is about this gastro-anomy phenomenon. How does anomy present itself in today’s society with respect to food? How do dieticians understand this issue? Since art synthesizes the intrinsic properties of a society, these reflectionswere guided by art. We started off by analyzing two works from very different time periods: the Middle Ages and today. The Arnolfini couple represented by Jan van Eyck is a work from the 15th century, time when the medical and religious discourse mostly determined people’s food choices. On the other hand, Botero’s parody elicits plump bodies in reference to excess: the excess information available to commensals nowadays.

O sociólogo francês Claude Fischler, partindo do conceito durkheimiano, criou o neologismo gastro-anomia para falar sobre o paradoxo que vivenciamos frente à alimentação contemporânea: nunca soubemos tanto sobre os efeitos da alimentação sobre o corpo e, curiosamente, nunca tivemos tantos problemas de saúde relacionados a ela. É sobre este fenômeno gastro-anômico que trata o presente ensaio. Como a anomia se apresenta na sociedade contemporânea quando o assunto é alimentação? Como nutricionistas entendem esta questão? A arte, por realizar a síntese das propriedades intrínsecas da sociedade, foi utilizada como fio condutor das reflexões. O ponto de partida foi análise de duas obras de épocas distintas: Idade Média e contemporaneidade. O casal Arnolfini representado por Jan van Eyck é uma obra que data do século XV, época em que o discurso médico e o religioso eram aqueles que majoritariamente regiam as escolhas alimentares dos indivíduos. A paródia de Botero, por sua vez, traz à tona corpos volumosos, como uma referência ao excesso: o excesso de informações com que se depara o comensal hoje.Núcleo de Editoração – PUC-Campinas2023-05-03info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/8511Brazilian Journal of Nutrition; Vol. 26 No. 4 (2013): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; Vol. 26 Núm. 4 (2013): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; v. 26 n. 4 (2013): Revista de Nutrição1678-9865reponame:Revista de Nutriçãoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPporhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/8511/5984Copyright (c) 2023 Michelle MEDEIROS, Alex GALENOhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMEDEIROS, Michelle GALENO, Alex 2023-10-05T19:19:37Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/8511Revistahttp://www.scielo.br/rnPRIhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/oai||sbi.submissionrn@puc-campinas.edu.br1678-98651415-5273opendoar:2023-10-05T19:19:37Revista de Nutrição - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
