Søren Tange Kristensen: Hunger,
Appetite and Satiety: Between Biology
and Culture
The number of people developing overweight
and obesity is inereasing, as is the
prevalence of eating disorders and weight
preoccupation. These tendencies can be
considered as expressing a polarisation of
eating habits in modern societies, where lack
of control or exaggerated Control over eating
are still more common phenomena. At the
same time, the tendencies may be seen as the
result of a more general ambivalence in
relation to food, which influences the
experience of appetite and its regulating
effeet on food consumption. So far,
regulation of appetite has primarily been
examined by nutritional scientists on a
physiological level. However, the subjective
experience of hunger, appetite, and satiety
can also be seen as constituted and regulated
on the individual and social level. The aim of
the article is to show how appetite can be
seen as a central research subject, both as the
locus where food consumption is bodily
regulated and as the nexus where biology,
social rules, and cultural meanings meet and
are negotiated by the individual.
