Based upon literary works and personal sources (letters and familiar diaries), we study the matrimonial practices of the rich families of Fifteenth century considering the interest of these families to establish social bonds in order to reinforce the hierarchy and status they held within the society. Thus, based on the ideals spread by humanist literature and experiences recorded by the Florentines themselves, we try to perceive how marriage agreements were established: measuring familiar strategies; the importance of the bonds created from the marriage; the course of the negotiations between the families; the people doing them; and the material, social and moral values that were considered. Once established the several reasons that defined marriages among the high society, we finally focused on the different stages of the marriage process to understand how these moments were celebrated and the meaning and ritual importance of each one of them / O propósito desta dissertação é analisar a celebração do matrimônio na alta sociedade da Florença do Quattrocento, buscando compreender, sob o viés cultural, a forma como o matrimônio era concebido e praticado no âmbito das relações sociais e dos interesses desse grupo. Com base em obras literárias e fontes de caráter pessoal (cartas e diários familiares), estudamos as práticas matrimoniais das ricas famílias do século XV considerando o interesse dessas famílias em estabelecer vínculos sociais para reforçar a hierarquia e posição que ocupavam na sociedade. Assim, fundamentados nos ideais difundidos na literatura humanista e nas experiências registradas pelos próprios florentinos, buscamos perceber de que modo os acordos matrimoniais eram definidos: avaliando as estratégias familiares, a importância dos vínculos criados a partir do casamento, o transcurso das tratativas entre as famílias, as pessoas envolvidas nas negociações e os valores materiais, sociais e morais que eram ponderados. Finalmente, após estabelecer os diversos motivos que definiam os matrimônios na alta sociedade, nos centramos nas diferentes etapas do processo matrimonial, para entender como esses momentos eram celebrados e qual era o significado e a importância ritual de cada um deles

For over three decades, during the height of Gilded Age economic extravagance, the women of New York High Society maintained an elite social identity by possessing, displaying, and cultivating cultural capital. Particularly, High Society women sought to exclude the Nouveaux Riches who, after amassing vast fortunes in industry or trade, came to New York City in search of social position. High Society women distinguished themselves from these social climbers by obeying restrictive codes of speech, body language, and dress that were the manifestations of their cultural capital. However, in a country founded upon an ethos of egalitarianism, exclusivity could not be maintained for long. Mass-circulated media, visual artwork, and etiquette manuals celebrated the Society woman's cultural capital, but simultaneously popularized it, making it accessible to the upwardly mobile. By imitating the representations of High Society life that they saw in newspapers, magazines, and the sketches of Charles Dana Gibson, Nouveau Riche social climbers and even aspirant middle and working class women bridged many of the barriers that Society women sought to impose. / Master of Arts

L’objectif général de notre projet est d’étudier l’interrelation entre espaces intérieurs, temporalité et sociabilités dans la littérature dite « mémorialiste » de Buenos Aires de la période 1880-1910. Notre recherche privilégie l’analyse des textes d’inspiration mémorialiste parus à Buenos Aires entre 1881 et 1904: Buenos Aires, desde setenta años atrás (José A. Wilde); La Gran Aldea (Lucio V. López); Las beldades de mi tiempo (Santiago Calzadilla); Memorias de un viejo (Víctor Gálvez) et Memorias. Infancia y adolescencia (Lucio V. Mansilla). Plus spécifiquement, nous essayons de définir notre concept de « dimension intérieure », à partir de l’intersection entre espace et temps perceptible chez les auteurs mémorialistes dès le commencement de leurs récits évocateurs. Parallèlement, nous cherchons à prouver que ce concept s’exprime comme la progression graduelle, à partir de la pensée des auteurs (c’est-à-dire, le premier espace intérieur, le plus intime), jusqu’à la conquête des espaces plus vastes, comme la maison de l’enfance, le quartier, la ville, la Nation. En même temps, nous explorons la relation problématique entre mémoire et espace intime, d’un côté, et les complexes relations entre mémoire et histoire nationale, de l’autre côté. Parallèlement, nous analysons la transition historique de la période coloniale à la période moderne -ce qui José Luis Romero appelle les ères « créole » et « alluviale »- depuis la perspective des sociabilités de la « haute société » et des « secteurs populaires ». Pour ce faire, nous analysons, en premier lieu, les espaces domestiques des grandes maisons coloniales de la « haute société » de Buenos Aires, dans Memorias. Infancia y adolescencia (Lucio V. Mansilla), avant de nous consacrer à d’autres sites qui nous permettent d’identifier les variables sociabilités historiques: « tertulias », magasins, « pulperías », cafés et clubs. / The main purpose of this project is to study the interaction between interior spaces, time and sociabilities in the ‘memorialistic’ literature of Buenos Aires between 1880 and 1910. Our perspective will privilege the analysis of ‘memorialistic’ texts published in Buenos Aires between 1881 and 1904: Buenos Aires, desde setenta años atrás (José A. Wilde); La Gran Aldea (Lucio V. López); Las beldades de mi tiempo (Santiago Calzadilla); Memorias de un viejo (Víctor Gálvez) and Memorias. Infancia y adolescencia (Lucio V. Mansilla). More specifically, we define the concept of ‘interior dimension’ that results from the intersections of the spatial and temporal dimensions emerging in these authors’ stories. We attempt to demonstrate that this concept covers multiple spaces, following a gradual progression that moves from the authors’ subjective recollections (conceived as the first, most intimate, interior space), to the conquest of greater spaces: the childhood home, the neighborhood, the town, the Nation. We also explore memory’s intricate relation to intimate space, on the one hand, and the complex relations between memory and national history, on the other. We analyse the historical transition from the colonial to the modern period -what José Luis Romero calls the ‘criolla’ and ‘alluvial’ eras- from the perspective of shifting sociabilities within both ‘high society’ and the ‘popular sectors’. In order to do this, we first analyze the domestic spaces of the big colonial houses of the ‘high society’ of Buenos Aires, in Memorias. Infancia y adolescencia (Lucio V. Mansilla), before turning to other sites that allow us to see the city’s changing historical sociabilities: ‘tertulias’, shops, ‘pulperías’, cafés and clubs. / El objetivo general de nuestro proyecto es estudiar la interrelación entre espacios interiores, temporalidad y sociabilidades en la llamada literatura “memorialista” de Buenos Aires del período 1880-1910.

También exploramos la intrincada relación entre memoria y espacio íntimo, por un lado, y las complejas relaciones entre memoria e historia nacional, por el otro. Paralelamente, analizamos la transición histórica del período colonial al período moderno -lo que José Luis Romero llama las eras “criolla” y “aluvial”- desde la perspectiva de las cambiantes sociabilidades de la “alta sociedad” y de los “sectores populares”. Para ello, analizamos en primer término los espacios domésticos de las casonas coloniales de la “alta sociedad” de Buenos Aires, en Memorias. Infancia y adolescencia (Lucio V. Mansilla), antes de volcarnos a otros sitios que nos permitan identificar las cambiantes sociabilidades históricas: tertulias, comercios, pulperías, cafés y clubes.
