Descripción
In this article, I examine experiences of consumption and social interaction in establishments specializing in making, serving, and selling food and beverages (such as restaurants, cafés, or tearooms) in Mar del Plata, Argentina, between the 1930s and 1970s. The ways that different social groups visited these places and consumed the products and services they offered varied at different historical moments. Gender, class, and age were central in defining who was entitled to do so at any given time. Based on my analysis of more than 450 photographs, I argue that eating (by which I mean the experience of visiting dining establishments and consuming food there) and taking photos while doing so were part of a process of constructing status and individual and collective class and gender identities. Not only did these photographs constitute material evidence that certain people had visited these places, they also produced specific meanings. To construct the universe of meaning in which these photographs are embedded, I have also drawn on other sources such as advertisements, menus, and newspaper articles.
Dans cet article, j’examine les expériences de consommation et d’interaction sociale dans les établissements spécialisés dans la fabrication, le service et la vente d’aliments et de boissons (tels que les restaurants, les cafés ou les salons de thé) à Mar del Plata, en Argentine, entre les années 1930 et 1970. La manière dont les différents groupes sociaux fréquentent ces lieux et consomment les produits et services proposés varie selon les moments de l’histoire. Le genre, la classe et l’âge jouent un rôle central dans la définition des personnes autorisées à fréquenter ces lieux. Fondée sur une analyse de plus de 450 photographies, l’étude soutient que le fait de manger (fréquenter des établissements de restauration et y consommer de la nourriture) et le fait de prendre des photographies dans ces établissements font partie d’un processus de construction du statut et des identités individuelles et collectives de classe et de genre. Non seulement ces photographies constituent la preuve matérielle que certaines personnes ont visité ces lieux, mais elles produisent également des significations spécifiques. Pour construire l’univers de sens dans lequel s’inscrivent ces photographies, d’autres sources telles que des publicités, des menus et des articles de journaux sont utilisées.
