description From the new questions that, from the social and cultural history, make focus on consumption in an expanded sense, this paper seeks to inquire into the cultural consumption linked to the music of women and girls in Rosario between the end of the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th. In the context of a society characterized by the mercantilism of its port and commercial activity, but eager to demonstrate its modern character, the local bourgeois families were able to find in the musical education of their girls and young women, an element of distinction and social prestige. In this way, becomes relevant the phenomenon of an important cultural consumption associated with music, that in the city was translated into the opening of several music conservatories that provided a careful preparation in this art, houses of music offering a variety of musical instruments, advertisements for private music lessons, and concerts and musical charity galas as spaces for showcasing the acquired skills. Another different aspect to analyze, but in close connection, is the attendance to theater, to a lyric gala or other shows with prestigious artists. Beyond being a consumption related to entertainment, theater attendance also had a special meaning in terms of visibility and social prestige, that occasionally could mean a better position in the networks of sociability of the local bourgeoisie.

In the context of a society characterized by the mercantilism of its port and commercial activity, but eager to demonstrate its modern character, the local bourgeois families were able to find in the musical education of their girls and young women, an element of distinction and social prestige. In this way, becomes relevant the phenomenon of an important cultural consumption associated with music, that in the city was translated into the opening of several music conservatories that provided a careful preparation in this art, houses of music offering a variety of musical instruments, advertisements for private music lessons, and concerts and musical charity galas as spaces for showcasing the acquired skills.

A partir de los nuevos interrogantes que, desde la historia social y cultural, hacen foco sobre el consumo en un sentido ampliado, este trabajo busca indagar acerca de los consumos culturales vinculados a la música de las niñas y mujeres rosarinas entre fines de siglo XIX y primeras décadas de XX. En el contexto de una sociedad caracterizada por el mercantilismo de su actividad portuaria y comercial pero con deseos de demostrar su carácter moderno, las familias burguesas locales supieron encontrar en la formación musical de sus niñas y señoritas, un elemento de distinción y prestigio social. De esta manera, cobra relevancia como fenómeno un importante consumo cultural asociado a la música, que en la ciudad se traduce en la apertura de diversos conservatorios que brindaban una esmerada preparación en este arte, casas de música que ofrecí­an variedad de instrumentos musicales, anuncios de profesores de música particulares, y conciertos y galas musicales de beneficencia como espacio de lucimiento de las destrezas adquiridas. Otro aspecto diferente a analizar, pero en estrecha vinculación, es la concurrencia de estas mujeres al teatro a galas lí­ricas u otros espectáculos con artistas de renombre. Más allá de tratarse de un consumo relacionado al ocio, la asistencia al teatro tení­a además un sentido especial, en términos de visibilidad y prestigio social, que en ocasiones significaba un mejor posicionamiento en las redes de sociabilidad de la burguesí­a local. 2018-03-22 2022-03-16T20:16:47Z 2022-03-16T20:16:47Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://www.descentrada.fahce.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/DESe032 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/33901 spa https://www.descentrada.fahce.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/DESe032/9209 https://www.descentrada.fahce.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/DESe032/9210 text/html application/pdf Centro Interdisciplinario de Investigaciones en Género.
