SERNA DIMAS, Adrián. Consume cooperatives in Bogota: a public massive supply initiative in the City (1942-1962). Mem. Soc. [online]. 2012, vol.16, n.33, pp.209-223. ISSN 0122-5197.

The article collects the history of Consume Cooperatives in Bogotá, entities with municipal participation that were established in 1942 in order to supply the city massively. Nevertheless, from its origins the Cooperative shows its fragile policy of suppliers, the inefficiency of bureaucracy, an intense commercial competition and political confrontations that lead to its closure in 1962. This present article is part of the investigation: "Citizenship and Consume: Public World, Goods Market and Citizens of Bogotá (1930 - 2000.)" This research was conducted to reveal consumer roles in the creation of an urban public world: Its incidence in the way citizens relate to each other, in creating certain civil associations, and in the establishment of public institutions to regulate goods and services commerce.

Palavras-chave : Commercial sites; consumer tendencies; citizenship; Public space; citizenship; consumer behavior; economic competition; Bogota (Colombia).
