| Sumario: | At the end of the Mexican Revolution, the State that emerged was involved in recurrent legitimacy crises. One of the means by which certain phenomena were stabilized as relevant to obtain knowledge about the reality to be governed was the consolidation of statistical expertise. The Department of National Statistics served as a center from which data and information of diverse origin were articulated and subjected to statistical analysis. This resulted in "scientific objects" that made it possible to articulate social realities and produce new research niches, which allows us to connect historical narratives that had been produced independent from each other. This article traces some of the objects related to food that emerged in the 1920s and 1930s and consolidated phenomena such as population consumption statistics, which made possible the creation of other objects, such as the rural worker's "food basket". |
