First seminar: "Hunger, thirst and desire", by Dr. Xavier Escribano

Hunger and thirst signal states of deprivation that must be urgently satisfied for the sake of individual survival. These states, beyond their physical function, allow us to experience an undeniable need characterised by two fundamental considerations: Alteration and interiorisation. These considerations are common to other superior vital biological functions and for this reason, in human culture, food and drink acquire a social, symbolic and even religious significance of the highest degree and transcendence.
