RODRIGUEZ VAZQUEZ, Florencia. La Escuela Nacional de Vitivinicultura de Mendoza: la adaptación, generación y difusión de conocimientos aplicados a la industria vitivinícola (1896-1920). Rev. hist. am. argent. [online]. 2011, vol.46, n.1, pp.121-151. ISSN 2314-1549.

In this opportunity, we will approach the relation between the organization of a system of agricultural education, on the part of the National Department of Agriculture, and the consolidation of the wine agro-industry in Mendoza. For it, we will attend to a particular case: the institutional history of Escuela Nacional de Vitivinicultura from her foundation, in 1896, until 1920. In relation with this, in this work, on the one hand, we will analyze the instrumentation of successive plans of study and his relation, or not, with the economic and productive context, as well as also, with the demands of the manufacturers. On the other hand, we will bear in mind the institutional origin of the first teachers of the establishment, in order to know if the initial trend was reverted of foreign agronomists contracted.
