State, experts, and rural development in Colombia, 1930–50. A local genealogy of international community development
This article argues that the efforts made by the Colombian state to promote rural development, beginning in the 1930s, provided valuable knowledge, experiences, and methodologies that were fundamental for the global deployment of community development after World War II. This specific international development technique was based on small-scale, horizontal, and participatory strategies to raise the living standards of poor populations and was wid…

“La más eficaz, la más rápida y también la más económica”. La colonia escolar de vacaciones como proyecto estatal modelo para el desarrollo rural en Colombia durante la República Liberal
En este artículo analizamos en detalle la concepción y funcionamiento cotidiano del Programa de Colonias Escolares de Vacaciones en Colombia. Se trató de un proyecto estatal iniciado en 1937 durante la llamada República Liberal (1930-1946) y que, por lo general, ha sido analizado como un ejemplo de medicalización de la educación escolar. Acá, proponemos un enfoque diferente que apunta a enmarcar este proyecto en un proceso más amplio de desarroll…
La "anarquía" de la leche
Este artículo analiza las lógicas, intereses y contingencias presentes en los intentos de expertos y legisladores por fomentar e higienizar el sistema lechero en la ciudad de Bogotá, entre 1938 y 1960. Estos esfuerzos se enmarcaron en una arquitectura institucional que iba de lo municipal a lo nacional, y en un contexto de creciente intervención del Estado en cuestiones nutricionales y de proyectos internacionales de cooperación técnica en salud.…
The Scientific Lives ofChicha
From the end of the nineteenth century into the first decades of the twentieth, Colombian chicha (a fermented beverage made from maize) was at one and the same time alcohol and food, a product produced and consumed on a large scale in an urban setting, and an object of intense scientific scrutiny, with multiple meanings and transformations. In this article, I argue that industrial chicha production, local scientific practices, and food policies a…
Styles of Knowledge Production in Colombia, 1850-1920
ArgumentUsing the notion of styles of knowledge we refer to the ways diverse scientific communities claim to produce true knowledge, their understandings regarding the attitudes and values that scientists should have in order to grasp natural and social reality, and the practices and technologies developed within such styles. This paper analyzes scientific and medical enterprises that explored the relationship between environment, population, and…
Alcohol in Latin America
Food and alcohol history have in recent decades won academic attention and have demonstrated their potential as privileged gateways for thinking about broad historical questions. Focusing on fermented and distilled beverages, this collection of stimulating essays aims precisely at using “alcohol as a way to understand bigger topics within Latin American history, such as identity, ethnic and communal bonding, race, class, gender, power relations, …
La Raza Entra Por La Boca
In Colombia early in the twentieth century, a field of research began to take shape that looked at work and the physiology of diet, centered on the analogy of the human body as a heat engine that transforms energy. Starting with the energy unit of calories, foods were translated into the amount of fuel the body-machine needed for optimal performance depending on the work performed and environmental conditions. The main objective of this article i…
