Abstract

PEREZ, Inés. Gender and Consumption: A Revision of the Most Recent Historiographical Production upon Latin America within the 20th Century. hist.crit. [online]. 2017, n.65, pp.29-48. ISSN 0121-1617.  https://doi.org/10.7440/histcrit65.2017.02.

Starting from a recent historiographical production's revision studying the 20th Century, this article depicts the relevance of gender for the history of consumption-building in Latin America. Bearing that in mind, the analysis is geared to three researching lines, contributing with new perspectives and questions, as from an inter sectorial approach: the first one highlights the political dimension of consumption based upon the interaction between gender and class; the second addresses consumption and domestic work, displaying a link between gender and nation, and the third one analyses material culture and corporality emphasizing upon the articulation between gender and age.

Keywords : gender; consumption; Latin America; historiography; 20th Century.
