RICHARD-JORBA, Rodolfo A  and  RODRIGUEZ VAZQUEZ, Florencia. Recursos humanos especializados y cambios tecnológicos en la vitivinicultura de la provincia de Mendoza (Argentina), 1890-1920. Ciclos hist. econ. soc. [online]. 2013, vol.21, n.41, pp.00-00. ISSN 1851-3735.

The constitution of a capitalist regional economy in Mendoza specialized in a mass viticulture and directed to the national market, implied a great technical change that crystallized by 1890, in wine-growing crops with high performance and wine cellars with large processing capacity, overcoming old craft traditions. During the 1900s it is possible to see the acceptance of those technologies. In this paper, we discuss the process based on the particular dynamics of introducing innovations in the wine-cellars and the public policies that took effect in the technological area, specifically in human resources training (winemakers). So, we evaluate the results of these sector policies through the subsequent insertion of technicians in the cellars from 1904, a time of economic and agro industrial expansion. We are also interested in the contextual factors that promoted or retard the extension of this figure in local wineries. Our research is part of a perspective that links the study of educational projects with productive orientation and its contribution to the introduction and dissemination of innovatory and technological adaptations.
