| Abstract | From its invention in Europe at the end of the nineteenth century, the automobile criss-crossed the world, completely took over the cities, and became a feature of daily life. Considered basic to the ...merican lifestyle, the car reflected individualism, pragmatism, comfort, and above all, modernity. In Latin America, it served as a symbol of distinction, similar to jewelry or fine clothing. In The Cultural Life of the Automobile, Guillermo Giucci focuses on the automobile as an instrument of social change through its "kinetic modernity" and as an embodiment of the tremendous social impact of technology on cultural life.show more |
