DESCRIPTION:Today we often think of world hunger as a depoliticizing\, sen
 timental concept\, associated with charity singles such as Band-Aid and in
 ternational food aid programs. This talk seeks to recover an alternate his
 tory of world hunger\, tracing its development through anticolonial though
 t at the height of decolonization. Focusing on the work of Brazilian geogr
 aphy Josué de Castro\, and his influence on anticolonial thinkers such as
  Franz Fanon and others\, it will argue that hunger was central to a decol
 onial reimagining of the world in the decades after World War II. \n
 \n*Alys Moody* is Associate Professor of Literature at Bard College\, wher
 e she specialises in twentieth and twenty-first century European\, America
 n and world literature\, with an emphasis on modernism and its contemporar
 y and global heirs. She is the author of _The Art of Hunger: Aesthetic Aut
 onomy and the Afterlives of Modernism_ (Oxford University Press\, 2018) 
 and co-editor of the anthology _Global Modernists on Modernism_ (Bloom

 ncluding a book chapter ‘Against Culinary Art: Mina Loy and the Modernis
 t Starving Artist’ in _Gastro-Modernism: Food\, Literature\, Culture_.
