Au cours des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, la pacification de l'intérieur du territoire français et la stabilisation des frontières ont amené les élites intellectuelles et les administrateurs locaux et royaux à questionner le besoin d'enceintes urbaines à l'intérieur du royaume. La ville de Paris arrase ses remparts dans les années 1670, initiant par là une mutation du paysage urbain qui s'étendra aux territoires français métropolitains et coloniaux. Par l'ouverture des villes, les architectes et ingénieurs se voient confrontés à un nouveau problème architectural et urbain : la nécessité pratique d'une porte qui marque le seuil de la ville s'estompe, tandis que l'attachement citoyen à la charge symbolique des portes de ville persiste. Or, au Siècle des Lumières, la redéfinition de l'usage et de la forme de la porte de ville sont contemporains de l'émergence de nouveaux édifices publics, qui amorcent la réflexion sur le caractère des ouvrages d'architecture. Au sein de cette nouvelle théorie des caractères, la porte de ville devra trouver et affirmer sa place. Il en va de même à l'égard de l'intérêt croissant porté à la notion d'entrée de ville, qui signale une sensibilité nouvelle envers le paysage urbain et territorial et la mobilité qui accompagne la réfection des axes de circulation terrestre et maritime du royaume de France. / Throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, the pacification of French interior territories and the stabilization of their frontiers brought the intellectual elite and the local and royal administrations to question the necessity of city walls within the kingdom. The city of Paris razed its ramparts in the 1670's, initiating mutations in the urban landscape that will spread throughout the French territories. By opening their cities, architects and engineers will thus be confronted to a new architectural and urban problem: there is no longer a functional need for a city gate to limit the access, but the symbolic load of city gates as landmarks to which citizen are deeply attached remains.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / O presente trabalho analisa a indumentária da Corte do Rio de Janeiro entre 1808 e 1821. Com a transferência da Corte portuguesa para o Rio de Janeiro foram estabelecidas relações de interpenetração entre a elite de negociantes de grosso trato fluminenses e as elites portuguesas recém-chegadas. Estas relações são analisadas através da indumentária, pois, esta, além de expressar o poderio econômico, demarcava o lugar ocupado pelo sujeito na hierarquia social, bem como a que corpo ele pertencia, pois existiam uniformes, que somente poderiam ser usados por quem ocupasse algum cargo público, e insígnias de Ordens Militares, que eram dadas pelo rei através de mercês régias. Assim, através da indumentária, analisa-se como esses negociantes buscaram se inserir na lógica do Antigo Regime por meio do uso de símbolos de prestígio, expressos em suas vestimentas / The present work analyzes the fashion of the Rio de Janeiros Court between 1808 and 1821. Due to the transfer of Portuguese Court to Rio de Janeiro it was established relations of interpenetration between the elite of grosso trato dealers from Rio de Janeiro and the newcomers portugueses elites. These relations are analyzed through fashion, because, besides the fact that it could express economic power, demarcated the place occupied by the person in the social hierarchy, as well as the social group that he belonged to, because there were uniforms, which could be used only by who occupied some public posts, and insignias of Militaries Orders, which were given by the king through the mercês régias. Therefore, through fashion, its possible to see how these dealers searched get into the Ancient Regime logical, trough symbols of prestige and distinction

Le personnel des gouverneurs des colonies sous la période royale regroupe les gouverneurs généraux et particuliers qui administrent les colonies françaises de 1763 à 1792 sous l’autorité de la couronne. Le gouverneur est un homme de guerre, choisis par le ministre de la Marine et nommé par le roi. Il s’agit pour lui de défendre un empire, de contrôler les pratiques locales et de veiller à l’exécution des lois du royaume. La nature de la charge et l’étendue des pouvoirs s’adaptent aux circonstances locales, sans oublier la personnalité et l’envergure du titulaire, sa position sociale, les cumuls de fonctions dont il peut bénéficier. Si la place de premier personnage de la colonie, l’appartenance à l’élite administrative et la prérogative de représentant du roi laissent supposer un poste brillant, la réalité est moins reluisante. L’autorité du gouverneur est affaiblie par de nombreux obstacles à un exercice efficace du pouvoir. Le gouverneur tente d’asseoir sa puissance sur d’autres marqueurs distinctifs, mais la réalité de la charge reste peu enviable, faite d’un mélange d’insalubrité et de déplacements, en proie à la méfiance des élites locales ou des autres administrateurs métropolitains. Les compensations financières et l’argument de promettre une place plus avantageuse après le gouvernement sont de plus en plus illusoires au fur et à mesure que le climat se complique à l’approche de la Révolution. La charge de gouverneur des colonies, poste de passage dans une carrière à forte dimension coloniale, est une charge isolée des cercles d’influence de la cour, atypique dans son recrutement et limitée dans les perspectives de carrière qu’elle offre à la fin du XVIIIe siècle. / The executive staff of colonial governors under royal period comprises governors-general and individuals who rule the French colonies from 1763 to 1792 by appointment of the crown. The governor is a man of war, appointed by the King on the advice of the Navy Minister. It is for him to defend an Empire, to control local customs and to enforce royal laws. The importance of the position and the range of power that comes with it depend on local circumstances, not to mention the personality and the scale of the holder, his social ranking, and the combining of functions he can benefit from. If being the ruler of the colony, being part of the administrative elite and representing the King suggest both a prestigious and exotic job, reality is less rosy. The governor's authority has to face numerous obstacles, which results in the weakening of the effective ruling of the country. The governor tries to assert power over other distinctive markers, however the office remains unenviable, as it implies squalor and constant travel and is plagued by distrust of local elites or other metropolitan administrators. The financial perks and the promise of a more prestigious position after serving as Colonial governor are increasingly unrealistic as the French Revolution approaches. The office of Colonial governor, one of several steps in a colonial career, is actually isolated from the power and influence which rule the court, atypical in its appointment and provides very few career opportunities.

Les animaux eux-mêmes font l’objet du chapitre liminaire. Mais, en en tant que tels, ils intéressent moins la présente étude que la façon dont leur utilisation par l’homme a été associée à l’essor de la vie de cour. La relation homme-animal en milieu de cour est abordée dans la première partie, sous l’angle des formes architecturales, des structures administratives ainsi que du cadre juridique et social au sein desquels elle s’épanouit à la charnière des XVIe et XVIIe siècles (chapitres I à III). Le chapitre IV aborde un dernier aspect de la relation entre l’homme et les animaux en décrivant la finalité alimentaire des seconds. La deuxième partie étudie la participation des animaux à la dynamique de cour, au moment où, à partir du règne de Louis XIII, la curialisation s’accélère. Il s’agit d’abord de préciser le rôle des animaux dans l’élaboration de modèles culturels véhiculés par la propagande et le mécénat princiers (chapitres V et chapitre VI). À l’échelle interne, la façon dont le développement des équipages et la codification des chasses royales participent à la curialisation fait l’objet des chapitres VII et VIII. L’impact de la sédentarisation de la cour sur les populations animales et sur le développement de l’architecture zoologique constitue la matière de la troisième partie. Le chapitre IX est consacré à la Ménagerie de Versailles et le suivant à l’institutionnalisation du mécénat scientifique qui lui a été associé. Les chapitres XI et XII étudient la répartition sélective des animaux en fonction des résidences de la cour et son incidence sur l’organisation de l’espace. / This study does not focus in on animals as much as it questions the way they have been used by men and the part they played in the development of court life. In the first part, I address the relation between man and animal in the court context, from the standpoint of the architectural forms, administrative structures as well as the social and legal framework, in which the relation blossomed during the transition of 16th to the 17th century (chapter I to III). Chapter IV deals with yet another aspect of the man-animal relation, describing the use of the latter for alimentary purposes. The second part questions the animals’ participation in the court dynamics, at a point when, beginning with Louis XIII’s reign, courtization accelerated. My first concern was to give a detailed account of the animal’s role in the conception of the cultural models conveyed by propaganda and sponsorship originating from princes (chapter V and chapter VI). On the internal level, chapter VII and VIII describe the way the development of hunting crews and the codification of royal hunts participate in courtization. In the third part, I examine the impact of the court’s settlement on animal populations and the development of zoological architecture. Chapter IX describes the Ménagerie of Versailles, while the next one addresses the joint process of institutionalization of scientific patronage. Finally, in chapter XI and XII, I argue that the selective distribution of animals depending on the court residencies had an impact on spatial organization.

Este trabalho tem por objetivo compreender a transição, ocorrida no território do Triângulo Mineiro, Minas Gerais, nas últimas quatro décadas do século XIX, de uma economia e sociedade organizadas com base em estruturas herdadas do Antigo Regime para o capitalismo. A hipótese desse trabalho é a de que a transição de um modo de produção para outro corresponde a mudanças estruturais nas configurações territoriais, paisagens, redes e técnicas, caracterizando nova formação sócio-espacial. Foram analisadas as transformações ocorridas na configuração territorial, com ênfase na regionalização e rede urbana; na estrutura fundiária, em especial a distribuição e mercantilização de terras; a transição da escravidão para o trabalho livre; as mudanças nos sistemas técnicos e a dinâmica do espaço urbano. Inventários post mortem, recenseamentos, mapas e material colhido em trabalhos de campo, além de vasta literatura foram utilizados como fonte deste estudo, que se fez na perspectiva da geografia regional e da geografia histórica. / This paper aims to understand the transition occurred in Triângulo Mineiro´s territory, Minas Gerais, in the last four decades of 19th century, from an economy and society based on inherited structures of the Ancient Regime to the capitalism. This research proposes that the transition from a production method to another corresponds to structural changes in the territorial shape, landscape, networks, and techniques, which led to a new socio-spatial formation. All the changes were analyzed considering the regional arrangements and the urban network. Also the land structure, specially concerning the land distribution and mercantile process, the slavery status to free work, the transformations undergone in the technical systems and in the urban space dynamic were all considered. Post mortem estates, censuses, maps and collected material in fieldworks, as well as a vast literature were used as study sources. This paper was written from the regional geography and the historical geography perspectives.
