Resumen
Between the 1910s and the 1970s, the defining institutions, practices, and patterns of thought identified with something Brazilians call consumismo were installed in that country through processes focused on the cities of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Business elites based in and acting upon the two cities were the key agents in these processes, which contributed greatly to the remaking of the two urban centers over the course of the twentieth century. By the 1970s, São Paulo was more closely identified with consumerism, but many residents of Rio de Janeiro were as beholden as any of their São Paulo counterparts with the new culture of consumption, to the profit of some and the consternation of others. Along the way, the two cities served as poles for the diffusion of that culture across the country’s varied regions.

Resumen
This article examines the rapid increase of chicken consumption in Brazilian cities in the 1990s. It is based on articles from the magazine Aves & Ovos, published by the Association of Chicken Producers of São Paulo between 1990 and 2000, and qualitative interviews with customers and producers that I conducted in Curitiba in 2023. The magazine featured key chicken industry players discussing global and national political and social developments and their relevance to the chicken consumption. In this way, the magazine provides an insight into the most important changes in the eating habits of urban consumers. This article looks at how chicken appealed to different consumers, the role of the state in these developments, and what motivated people to incorporate chicken into their daily diets. The influence of global factors is evident, whereby the diverse characteristics of the case study of Brazil and the important role of local actors in the establishment of urban mass consumption are foregrounded.

Resumen
This article examines a period of hyperinflation and food riots that swept Greater Buenos Aires from 1989 to 1991. It is based on an analysis of hundreds of declassified police records compiled by the Intelligence Directorate of the Buenos Aires Provincial Police (Dirección de Inteligencia de la Policía de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, DIPPBA). DIPPBA officers tracked the fluctuating price of basic goods, rising rates of urban poverty, and sporadic outbreaks of supermarket lootings. Albeit crafted with an eye toward surveillance and social control, DIPPBA reports shed light on the survival strategies and consumption patterns that urban residents devised to offset the consequences of hyperinflation. As the challenges of prolonged economic crisis drew police attention to the everyday realms of shopping and the marketplace in new ways, DIPPBA archives from this period offer novel insights into the history of consumption by explicitly linking scarcity and citizens’ inability to access basic goods as a matter of national security.

Resumen
This article analyzes urban change and food consumption in revolutionary Managua and during economic transition up to 1993. The Sandinista revolutionaries tried to establish new consumer ideals, ensure equal access to food for all Nicaraguans, and slow down urbanization. However, economic crises, the Contra war, conflicts over agrarian reform, and stagnating food production undermined their political project. This article demonstrates that the supply problems and internal contradictions of Sandinista food policy eroded support for the revolution. Social crisis and hunger combined with luxury consumption of some Sandinista leaders led to disillusion by the late 1980s. During transition, consumption became a time-consuming, frustrating experience. The urban poor had to rely on old survival mechanisms while the new elites revived US consumer ideals as a model.

Resumen
This article explores the social implications and meanings associated with consumer spending on private goods and the circulation of different forms of money in poor neighborhoods. The research is based on a qualitative methodology with in-depth interviews with women heads of household in a poor neighborhood in the city of Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro. The research shows that, contrary to common criticisms about poor management and lack of foresight in low-income sectors, families employ careful planning to manage their resources, navigating contradictory expectations of thrift and economic sufficiency, even in the face of unforeseen events.

Resumen
This article examines China’s engagement from 2008 to 2018 with the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC). We ask whether China has utilized CELAC as a counter-hegemonic challenge to US dominance in the Western Hemisphere. Toanalyze this question, we delved deeper into the theoretical debates around rationalist and neo-Gramscian notions of hegemony and applied four types of China-promoted multilateral institutions to CELAC. We argue that China’s engagement with CELAC functioned as an “institutional offshore balancing” strategy, advancing a largely pragmatic and non-confrontational to avoid a Kindleberger Trap.

Resumen
Science plays a relevant part in Miguel de Unamuno’s thought. It often appears in relation to the consideration of Spain’s national identity and its role towards the other European nations. The present article deals with this convergence of the scientific, national and international dimensions in Unamuno’s discourse. Through the analysis of various national and international publications and the role played by different relations and historical events, it offers a study of the development of the thought that the Basque intellectual shaped around science and its relationship with Spain’s national identity and its international mission.

Resumen
This article analyzes Efraín Huerta’s book Poemas de guerra y esperanza (1943) in connection with the journalistic writing that the poet published in Diario del Sureste (1936-37), El Nacional (1937-39) and El Popular (1939-43). The literary project of this collection of poems dialogues with two lyrical traditions of the time: the one that was triggered by the Spanish Civil War, between 1936 and 1938, and the one that sang the Second World War in Mexico City between 1940 and 1943. The constant link between Efraín Huerta’s journalistic practice and his early poetic writing aroused strong tensions in the Mexican literary field, as he conceived a literary project associated with historical conditions.

Resumen
This article studies the history of Manaus, the largest city in Amazonia and the capital of Amazonas, Brazil’s largest state, between the end of Amazon rubber boom, in the 1910s, and the creation of an Industrial Pole in the 1970s. When rubber went bust, regional elites sought to transform Manaus from an extractive enclave into an industrial center. The result was the Manaus Free Trade Zone, inaugurated in 1967, which would also include an industrial district, the Industrial Pole of Manaus, launched in 1972. The Free Trade Zone created extraordinary economic and demographic growth but, paradoxically, it also reproduced some of the dynamics of the rubber era. It was based on exploitative labor regimes and remained dependent on import-export houses and consumption within the city. Moreover, it ultimately exacerbated the city’s extractive demands on the rainforest and its peoples.
