Abstract

This article makes a brief review of the Italo Brazilian film “Estómago”, in an interdisciplinary way, searching for elucidate the relationships that characters establish from the food and the act of eating. For this, we propose a reading of the film as an analytical text, which is possible to examine from anthropology and sociology, taking into account Jean Baudrillard’s proposal about symbolical exchange as the central axis of analysis. The importance of food into relationships and social ties implies a series of circuits and stratifications inside the communities, or in the prison where the film takes place, creating all kinds of symbolic exchanges and new positions among their members.

This article is, for the time being, only available in Spanish: Más allá del comer
