| Sumario: | This paper discusses state-funded housing as a tool used by the state to promote a specific nuclear family model in Mendoza during the first half of the 20th century. We focus on the evolution of this effort through time, analyzing the physical housing projects carried out by the state, and the discourses created around them, as they can be found in different sources. Findings suggest that starting in the 1930s, the state used state-funded single-family housing as a tool to encourage the strengthening of the nuclear family. This process reached its highest point during first Perón’s administration (1946-55), when a massive number of basic single-family houses were built. This state effort was supported both by the independent press and by mass media state propaganda. |
