- Summary:
- A new research narrative is emerging in hunger research, which sees the natural environment and human action as closely intertwined. The concept of “vulnerability” in human societies plays a central role in this context. This approach seeks to overcome the postcolonial front position of climate and social deterministic hunger models in favor of an integrative perspective on the interaction between man and nature. The focus is on the practices of the actors, their "acting in hunger crises". The aim of the volume is to present the vulnerability approach as a possible “bridging concept” for multidisciplinary hunger research. For this purpose, the book brings together authors from the fields of anthropology, sociology, geography, history and development research. The articles analyze from a historical, environmental-historical perspective how the constitutive interplay of climatic and cultural factors opens up scope for action to those affected. In this way, the volume not only enables a new perspective on a field that has become a current problem again with global climate change. It also points beyond and illustrates the various forms of “socialization” of climatic impulses. that has become a contemporary problem again with global climate change.
