Food insecurity: analysis of the phenomenon based on testimonial literature parameterized by the law

Introduction: (“And so on May 13, 1958, I was fighting against current slavery — hunger!”, stated Carolina Maria de Jesus (10. ed. 2014). An intrinsic element of a structurally unequal society, hunger or food insecurity is a manifestation of a veiled and verticalized technic of social control. A small group of individuals who have supremacy of capital, in contrast to a base consisting of a large number of individuals kept in a condition of subservience. Hunger is the product of historical violations of vulnerable groups. In general, black people , women, children.In developing countries, these groups are gradually trying to modify historical conditions of inequality. Objectives: to analyze the right to food and food security, family protection and the doctrine of full protection against poverty. Identify aspects of the reality of vulnerable people, and their overcoming of daily adversities arising from their own unequal social condition. Perform a parallel between law and testimonial literature present in the work of Carolina Maria de Jesus called Quarto de Despejo. Methods: understanding and identification of practical reports and general aspects that show the reality faced by the author of the indicated work of literature, in view of the right to food security, constitutional protection of the family and the doctrine of integral protection of children and adolescents, carrying out , therefore, a comparison between the legislation at the time the book was written and the current one. Results: The realization of this work effectively demonstrates the essential understanding of the realities that permeate society, its current needs and weaknesses caused by a past of exploitation and stigmas, which are still present. The interdisciplinarity between Law and Literature and a constant study of past events that gradually modify harmful behaviors are important tools for the formulation of a critical sense of society and the rules in force. Conclusion: The critical reading of this work, together with the parameterized analysis in Law, makes us transcend a bubble that, limited to personal realities, makes tangible the understanding of the hard lives faced by people who daily seek the minimum for their subsistence. Hunger, an elementary theme of this work, is understood as the manifest violation of fundamental rights that compose the very natural condition of being. When realizing that this work, created by Carolina Maria de Jesus, is being published in a reliable manner, including grammatical errors resulting from the condition of semi-illiteracy, authenticity and paradoxical beauty are observed and the contempt for extraordinary historical contents is identified.
