Abstract

ABSTRACT In the United States, individuals in precarious circumstances navigate numerous programs to supplement their food access. These programs operate in relation to stigmatizing discourses about poverty and food insecurity. This paper explores the sociomaterial meanings of food assistance, including SNAP, food pantries, and nonprofit food distribution. Using qualitative methods, we introduce the notion of entangled shame. This concept describes how discourses about poverty, material agencies, and (in)visibility collide to produce shame. Last, we identify methods of challenging and alleviating entangled shame. Results illuminate possibilities for centering dignity in food assistance programs.

驾驭纠缠的羞耻感：考察粮食援助计划的社会物质性

摘要在美国，处于不稳定环境中的个人会通过许多项目来补充他们的食物供应。这些方案与关于贫困和粮食不安全的污名化言论有关。本文探讨了粮食援助的社会物质意义，包括SNAP、食品储藏室和非营利食品分配。运用定性方法，我们引入了纠缠羞耻的概念。这个概念描述了关于贫困、物质机构和（在）可见性的话语是如何碰撞产生羞耻感的。最后，我们确定了挑战和减轻纠缠的羞耻感的方法。结果阐明了在粮食援助方案中以尊严为中心的可能性。
