The Right to Food has our own meanings and diverse ones for the social subjects. The socioeconomic crises violate its guarantee and promote the configuration of strategies of social organization to ensure food sustenance. These are reflected in the culinary preparations used, and seal a symbolic stamp in the communities that is full of meanings and feelings. These paper presents some reflections that were developed together with women and organizations of sociosegregated neighborhoods of southeast Cordoba City, within a process of reconstruction of the historical memory regarding the modes of organization and culinary dishes generated in settings of crisis/ urban poverty and the analysis of the point of view of the protagonists around the right to food. The study has a qualitative approach and the method used included in-depth interviews (n=12), participatory workshops (n=3) and participant observations carried out from August 2010 to October 2011. The reference community has left its mark on its ability to mobilize and organize when that right is collectively perceived as violated in its crudest expression: hunger. The two cases of territorial organization cited and analyzed here were: community kitchen and soup kitchen, at different historical moments in Argentina: the crisis of 1989 and the one of 2001. In these periods the preparations and practices around food acquire different emotional and sentimental connotations. The configuration of the representations and meanings that subjects have, women, cannot be excised from the social policies of such processes. In the same way, the modes of belonging and participation they have in the general structure of the society and their community, mutating from local protagonists to effectors of programs.
