Resumo: The article addresses food activism, proposing to characterize it, in the Brazilian context, in two generations. The first is related to the politicization of food. Their main features are actions in the institutional sphere and the predominance of ethic criticism. The second is related to the politicization of eaten. It brings new themes, actors and strategy, besides a convergence between ethic and aesthetic criticisms. Then, the article discusses the relation between food activism and political consumerism, pointing to some limitations in the researchers and presenting data that indicate two specificities in the way political consumerism has been incorporated by food activisms in Latin America. Although present in these activisms’ repertoires, political consumerism does not seem their main strategy. These movements concentrate their actions in strengthen the state regulatory power and fostering public policy, besides efforts to not neglect the ethic aspect. At the end, the article points to the Social Practice Theory as the most promising research line to addresses food political consumerism.

La primera estaría relacionada a la politización de la alimentación y tendría como característica principal las acciones en la esfera institucional y el predominio de críticas éticas. La segunda se relaciona a la politización de la comida y del comer, trayendo nuevos temas, actores y estrategias políticas, con tendencia a la convergencia entre temas éticos y estéticos. Luego, el artículo discute la relación entre activismo alimentario y consumo político, y señala algunas limitaciones de las investigaciones sobre el tema, además de presentar datos que evidencian una especificidad en la forma como el consumo político viene siendo incorporado por los activismos alimentarios de América Latina. A pesar de estar presente en sus repertorios de acción, el consumo político no parece ser la principal estrategia de los activismos alimentarios de la región. Estos movimientos concentran sus acciones en el fortalecimiento del poder regulatorio del Estado y en la implementación de políticas públicas, además de esforzarse para no colocar el aspecto ético en segundo plano. Finalmente, el artículo apunta que la Teoría de las Prácticas Sociales se presenta como la más prometedora para abordar el consumo político alimentario.O artigo aborda o ativismo alimentar, propondo caracterizá-lo, no contexto brasileiro, em duas gerações. A primeira estaria relacionada à politização da alimentação e teria como característica principal as ações na esfera institucional e o predomínio de críticas éticas. A segunda se relacionaria à politização da comida e do comer, trazendo novos temas, atores e estratégias políticas, com tendência à convergência entre temas éticos e estéticos. Em seguida, o artigo discute a relação entre ativismo alimentar e consumo político, e aponta algumas limitações das pesquisas sobre o tema, além de apresentar dados de pesquisa que indicam uma especificidade da forma como o consumo político vem sendo incorporado pelos ativismos alimentares da América Latina. Embora presente em seus repertórios de ação, o consumo político não parece ser a principal estratégia dos ativismos alimentares da região. Estes movimentos concentram suas ações no fortalecimento do poder regulatório do Estado e na implementação de políticas públicas, além de esforçarem-se para não secundarizar o aspecto ético. Ao final, o artigo aponta uma linha de pesquisa mais promissora para abordar o consumo político alimentar.Edunisc - Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul2020-05-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/redes/article/view/1508810.17058/redes.v25i2.15088Redes ; Vol. 25 No. 2 (2020); 411-432Redes; Vol. 25 Núm. 2 (2020); 411-432Redes; Vol. 25 No. 2 (2020); 411-432Redes; v. 25 n. 2 (2020); 411-4321982-6745reponame:Redes (Santa Cruz do Sul.
