Italian-Argentine (italoargentino/a) — cultural role: fernet con cocacontextual

Scope: Argentina

Note: The UBA thesis treats consumption of Fernet con coca as an object of analysis for 『消費者のアイデンティティ構成』 (in translation: "the construction of consumer identity") linked to musical genre, class, and generational codes. It contrasts the style of 『イタリア人が元々そうしていたようにフェルネットを純粋に、量って飲む(en medida y puro)』 (in translation: "drinking Fernet neat and by measure, as Italians originally did") with Fernet con coca as a symbol of consumption on the urban margins, appearing in lyrics of rock and cumbia villera, a cumbia subgenre from the poorer neighborhoods (villas) of Buenos Aires.

Checked the thesis abstract, 『フェルネット・コン・コカ消費者のアイデンティティ構成を、飲酒・音楽制作/聴取・社交場面の関係から考察する』 (in translation: "examining the construction of Fernet con coca consumers' identities through the relationships among drinking, music production and listening, and social settings"), and its contrast between 『en medida y puro』 (the pure, measured style of drinking, Italian-style) and 『cumbia villera/rockに現れる周縁層的消費としてのフェルネット・コン・コカ』 (in translation: "Fernet con coca as consumption on the margins appearing in cumbia villera and rock").
Limitations: This is an undergraduate thesis, not a peer-reviewed journal article. It is a case analysis and does not claim quantitative representativeness.
