Abstract
Abordamos el estudio de un envase destinado al transporte, almacenamiento y
conservación de alimentos recuperado en un comercio desaparecido en la localidad
de Aracena (Huelva), fechable en la década de los años 50 y 70 del siglo XX. Se
describe el registro material y su contexto historiográfico para así elaborar una interpretación
funcional y social a partir de la materialidad del mismo. En concreto,
advertimos un doble proceso, una mentalidad modernizadora desde el comercio de
Laureano Gómez Rojas introduciendo la bolsa de papel como nuevo envase alimentario
que permitía la conservación de productos alimentarios vendidos al detalle
por un lado, y por otro, una actitud conservativa por parte del consumidor que guarda
el envase hasta su vida útil en una clara actitud de una sociedad preindustrial.
En síntesis, observamos cómo la introducción de cultura material propia del siglo
XX en una sociedad tradicional supone cambios en la domesticidad de las familias
creando valores de cambio social.
This paper deals with the study of a package used for transportation, storage and conservation of food recovered from a disappeared shop in Aracena (Huelva, Spain) which has been dated between the 50´s and 70´s of the twentieth century. Material culture and historiographical context are described in order to obtain a funcional and social interpretation from its own materiality.Specifically, a dual process can be recognized, on the one hand, the modernizing mindset from the shop of Laureano Gomez Rojas introducing the paper bag as a novel food packaging that allowed the preservation of food products sold by retail, on the other, the conservative attitude adopted by the consumer by keeping container over its lifetime reveals the attitude of a pre-industrial society. In short, the way that the introduction of material culture from the 20th century in a traditional society involves changes in the domesticity of households creating changes in social values.
