We elaborate a chronology focusing on five aspects: display technology, the characteristics of the exhibiting companies, the physical space and the place of film consumption, and the relationship betw een the audience and the viewing experience. We also examine the process of transformation and denationalization in the ow nership of exhibiting companies. As for the physical space, w e consider the emergence of film at home through the TV, changes in the movie theatres (from the initial spread of movie theatres into neighbourhoods and their subsequent retreat into the multiplex). Finally, we consider the relationship betw een view ers and exhibition, that is, for example, the extent view ers control w hat, w hen and w here they can w atch movies. There are several histories of film in Argentina but we believe that there are yet no significant contributions from an angle that favours the analysis of exhibition and consumption. El objetivo de este trabajo es proponer un esquema preliminar para analizar la evolución histórica de la exhibición y el consumo de cine en Buenos Aires, desde sus orígenes hasta nuestros días. Para ello, elaboramos una periodización centrándonos en cinco aspectos: la tecnología de la exhibición, las características de las empresas exhibidoras, la relación entre los espectadores y la exhibición, el espacio físico y el lugar en el que se da el consumo de cine. También describimos el proceso de transformación y extranjerización de las empresas exhi¬bidoras. En cuanto al espacio físico y lugar tuvimos en cuenta la irrupción del cine en el hogar a través de la televisión así como cambios en las salas exhibidoras (difusión inicial de cines en los barrios y su repliegue en los multicines, etc.). Si bien existen diversas historias del cine en la Argentina creemos que no hay aún contribuciones significativas que privilegien el examen de la exhibición y el consumo. application/pdf https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/H-ind/article/view/657 spa Centro de Estudios de Historia Económica Argentina y Latinoamericana (CEHEAL) https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/H-ind/article/view/657/1217 H-industria.
