Modernidad alimentaria y afrancesamiento. Ciudad de Córdoba (Argentina) en el tránsito del siglo XIX al XX

Abstract

In the last decades of the 19th Century, the province of Córdoba (Argentina) experienced a modernization involving major economic, social, cultural and political changes. This modernization has also been associated with the emergence of a food modernity, pro-European, and materialized in two dynamics of change in the consumption patterns: one that followed a type of Frenchification of habits within the wealthy social sectors; the other, a mutual exchange between popular native sectors and foreign immigrants. This contribution examines the first dynamic featuring the wealthy sectors that during the 1870’s substituted the Creole-Hispanic patterns for the French ones.
