这一贡献提出了一个历史的，关系和互动（HRI）的粮食主权研究方法。历史的透镜使我们能够理解随着时间的推移，社会结构和机构的条件粮食政治和相关的国家和社会行为者的代理已经，并继续，增强和行使，或没有，在粮食系统的政治地位。从关系的透镜看，我们可以把握粮食主权的过程性-粮食主权的含义和尝试的做法如何随着时间的推移而动态地、有争议地形成和重新塑造。一个互动的透镜使我们能够分析国家和社会中的行为者如何辩证地联系在一起，通过他们的互动塑造粮食主权的建设。而不是对粮食主权本身的调查，这篇文章是关于粮食主权的努力，部分是为了解决文学和政治辩论中将两者混为一谈的趋势。因此，这是对粮食主权建设的调查，意味着粮食主权在特定环境中如何被阐述和尝试，以及如何受到质疑-包括抵制、折射或逆转。委内瑞拉的案例被视为越来越多的将粮食主权纳入国家政策的国家之一，也是其试图建设的时间最长的实验之一。结论性的思考是共享的程度上，HRI框架可以帮助我们了解委内瑞拉的粮食系统面临的当前危机，以及更广泛的粮食主权研究和行动主义的影响。
This contribution puts forward a historical, relational and interactive (HRI) approach to food sovereignty research. A historical lens allows us to understand the social structures and institutions that condition the politics of food over time and the ways in which the agency of relevant state and societal actors has been, and continues to be, enhanced and exercised, or not, in the political contestation over the food system. A relational lens allows us to capture the process-oriented nature of food sovereignty – the ways in which the very meanings and attempted practices of food sovereignty are being dynamically and contentiously shaped and reshaped over time. An interactive lens allows us to analyze how actors within the state and in society are dialectically linked, molding the construction of food sovereignty through their interactions. Rather than an enquiry into food sovereignty per se, this piece is about efforts toward food sovereignty, partly to address a tendency in the literature and political debates to conflate the two. This is thus an investigation into food sovereignty construction, meaning how food sovereignty is being articulated and attempted, as well as contested – including resisted, refracted or reversed – in a given setting. The case of Venezuela is examined as one of a growing number of countries where food sovereignty has been adopted into state policy and among the longest-running experiments in its attempted construction. Concluding reflections are shared on the extent to which the HRI framework can help us understand the current conjunctural crisis facing Venezuela’s food system, and implications for food sovereignty research and activism more broadly.
