“…A total of 26 articles included in the scoping review discussed food insecurity specifically: 11 focused on recessions (Birkenmaier et al , 2016; Bruening et al , 2012; Carney, 2012; Coleman-Jensen, 2012; Dowler and Lambie-Mumford, 2015; Huang et al , 2016; Lombe et al , 2018; Loopstra et al , 2016; Potochnick and Arteaga, 2018; Purdam et al , 2016; Stamper Balistreri, 2016), 9 discussed natural disasters (Berno, 2017; Cradock-Henry et al , 2018; Friel et al , 2014; Gómez, 2013; Harvey, 2017; Larrance et al , 2007; Pyles et al , 2008; Rose et al , 2011; Zane et al , 2010) and 6 discussed COVID-19 (Adams et al , 2020; Ammar et al , 2020; Carroll et al , 2020; Deaton and Deaton, 2020; Górnicka et al , 2020; Pellegrini et al , 2020).…”

“…Of those documents, nine refer to strategies after or during an economic crisis (Bonaccio et al , 2014; Bruening et al , 2012; Carney, 2012; Dore et al , 2003; Dowler and Lambie-Mumford, 2015; Lombe et al , 2018; Loopstra et al , 2016; Purdam et al , 2016; Smith et al , 2014). Four refer to natural disasters (Cradock-Henry et al , 2018; Gómez, 2013; Harvey, 2017; Pyles et al , 2008), and two refer to COVID-19 (Adams et al , 2020; Carroll et al , 2020). The literature identified six types of food management strategies: provisioning food, budgeting, producing one’s own food, cooking at home, sharing and stealing.…”

“…Sharing between extended family can also help to protect and mediate the effects of poverty and food insecurity between generations (Lombe et al , 2018). People may share ingredients such as canned goods, and/or engage in meal sharing and eat cooked meals together (Dowler and Lambie-Mumford, 2015; Harvey, 2017; Pyles et al , 2008). It is also common to share homegrown fruits, vegetables and preserves (Cradock-Henry et al , 2018).…”

Purpose This literature scoping review aims to investigate if, how and why eating behaviours change after a crisis event such as a natural disaster, financial crisis or pandemic in high-income countries. Design/methodology/approach The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting “lockdowns” and social distancing measures have changed access to food, the types of food consumed and usual eating behaviours. Early research on the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic is compared with existing literature on other high-impact crises in high-income countries around the world, such as Hurricane Katrina and the Global Financial Crisis. A search of four electronic databases in August 2020 of literature from 2000 to 2020 yielded 50 relevant publications that were included in the qualitative thematic analysis. Findings The analysis found that crisis events made accessing food more difficult and led to increased food insecurity. Home cooking, sharing food and eating together (within households during the pandemic) all increased during and after a crisis. Resources often reduced and needed to be pooled. Crises had a multi-directional impact on dietary patterns, and the motivators for dietary pattern change differ between populations and crises. Originality/value In conclusion, eating behaviours impacted by crises because of the disruption of food systems, increased food insecurity and changes in daily routines. Community networks were a strong protective factor against adverse outcomes from food insecurity.

“…While the insulation of aid worker operations, including feeding and housing, may minimize impacts on affected communities without working infrastructure, in Southern Texas, these practices stymied crucial community-building interactions. After other disasters, decreased levels of interaction between aid workers and residents have inhibited workers’ effectiveness in communicating with locals and addressing their needs (Harvey, 2017).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of gathering places in disaster recovery, and describe types of active gathering places where residents and aid workers in Southern Texas, USA, came seeking resources, information and emotional support one month after Hurricane Harvey. Design/methodology/approach Semi-structured interviews in the field with 81 residents and 44 aid workers identified active gathering places and their functions. Researchers utilized a snowball sample design to identify and visit further gathering places until saturation. Field observations and a regional damage survey conducted by car add further context to interview data. Findings In total, 22 distinct types of gathering places were identified from the 123 unique gathering places documented. Overall, the displacement of residents created an obstacle to their recovery and access to resources and gathering places; residents characterized a lack of formalized emotional support centers – primarily relying on informal gatherings with friends and neighbors to meet their needs; and gathering places were limited in their ability to foster a communal recovery among the residents. Originality/value This study addresses a gap in the research, focusing on where and how individuals access resources, information and emotional support in the short-term recovery following a disaster event. This research combines two traditions, hazards geography and disaster sociology, to investigate what gathering places exist one month after a major disaster, where those places are located, and what purpose they serve.

“…Processes of collective identity formation have long been of interest to scholars interested in political movements and disasters (Fominaya, 2007;Fominaya, 2010;Fominaya & Feenstra, 2020;Harvey, 2017). However, relatively few have targeted the role of media in the complex relationships between identity formation and terrorist events.…”

Arielism Versus Cosmopolitanism: Brazilian Reaction to 9/11/01 as Cultural Narrative and Identity Work

This research examines identity work vis-à-vis Brazilian discourse regarding the events of September 11, 2001. The data is drawn from Brazilian nationals and expatriates participating in a digital discourse forum hosted by the newspaper O Estado de São Paulo. In discussing the events of 9/11/01, Brazilians also make sense of what it means to be Brazilian and what it means to be human. As the data show, Brazilians frame their reactions by drawing on larger understandings of the social world. The two most dominant stances come from Brazilians adopting what can be called Arielist and cosmopolitan stances. In addition, a small group of Brazilian expatriates join the fray as self-proclaimed Americanophiles. In examining these dynamics, we see that identities result from the process of identity construction best framed from a social constructionist perspective. In these three cases, identities emerge from interaction, engagement, and reaction to competing identity frames. Through the ongoing dialogue interactions, Brazilian participants implicitly make statements about their self-conceptions and visions of Brazil’s place in the world during this historic event. Significantly, the complementary and oppositional stances in reaction to 9/11/01 continue to persist almost twenty years after the attacks in the ideological frameworks around national identities circulating in both Brazil and the U.S. at present. In this way, the discourse from 2001 foreshadows the impending political chasm between right and left in both Brazil and the United States and provides an impetus for future research.
