I28-R145-13557_oai2025-11-17 Olsen, Juan Francisco 2024-05-10 “Welsh Tea” in the Lower Valley of the Chubut River (Argentina) refers to a unique form of commensality, involving the consumption of tea accompanied by cakes, breads, and homemade sweets. Moreover, it serves as both a touristic-commercial resource and a means to reaffirm the historical, territorial, and political identity of the Welsh settler descendants in the region. This paper, based on ethnographic research, explores the tensions surrounding tourist-heritage discourses related to Welsh tea and its pastries in the northeastern part of Chubut province from the perspective of its providers. For this purpose, we conducted semi-structured, open-ended, individual interviews with four business owners and state officials. Additionally, we carried out participant observation in various tea services and analyzed an official survey, press materials, and social media content. El “Té Galés” en el valle inferior del río Chubut (Argentina) no solo refiere a un tipo de comensalidad específica, vinculada al consumo de té acompañado por tortas, panes y dulces caseros, sino que, por un lado, constituye un recurso turístico-comercial; y por el otro, es un vehículo para reafirmar la pertenencia histórica, territorial y política de los descendientes de los colonos galeses en la región. En este trabajo nos proponemos indagar etnográficamente en las tensiones construidas en torno a los discursos turístico-patrimoniales sobre el té galés y su repostería en el noreste de la provincia de Chubut. Para ello se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas, abiertas e individuales a los propietarios de cuatro emprendimientos y a funcionarios estatales; así como registros de observación participante en distintos servicios de té; y un relevamiento de fuentes oficiales, prensa escrita y redes sociales. O “chá galês”, no Vale Inferior do rio Chubut (Argentina), não se refere só a um tipo específico de comensalidade, relacionada ao consumo de chá acompanhado de bolos, pães e doces caseiros, mas também constitui um recurso turístico-comercial e um veículo para reafirmar o pertencimento histórico, territorial e político dos descendentes dos descendentes de galeses nesta região. Neste trabalho propomos investigar as tensões construídas em torno dos discursos sobre a herança turística sobre o chá galês e sua confeitaria no nordeste da província de Chubut, partindo da perspectiva de seus fornecedores. Para tanto, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas, abertas e individuais com proprietários de quatro empresas e funcionários do Estado; bem como registros de observação participante em diferentes serviços de chá; assim como um levantamento de fontes oficiais, imprensa escrita e redes sociais. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CAS/article/view/13557 10.34096/cas.i59.13557 spa Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CAS/article/view/13557/12837 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CAS/article/view/13557/13197 Derechos de autor 2024 Juan Francisco Olsen Cuadernos de antropología social; Núm. 59 (2024); 103-117 1850-275X 0327-3776 Welsh tea Heritage Lower Valley of the Chubut river-Valdés region Identity Welsh culturee Té galés Patrimonio Comarca VIRCh-Valdés Identidad Cultura galesa Chá gales Herança Região VIRCh-Valdés Identidade Cultura galesa Tourist-heritage tensions around Welsh tea in the lower valley of the Chubut River Tensiones turístico-patrimoniales en torno al té galés en el valle inferior del río Chubut Tensões turismo-patrimoniais em torno do chá galês no vale inferior do rio Chubut info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo evaluado por pares https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=cantropo&d=13557_oai |
