REMEDI, Fernando J. Food Modernity and Frenchification. The City of Cordoba (Argentina) in the Transition from the 19th Century to the 20th Century. hist.crit. [online]. 2017, n.65, pp.71-92. ISSN 0121-1617.  https://doi.org/10.7440/histcrit65.2017.04.

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.

Keywords : consumption; social groups; Argentina; frenchification,; feeding.
