Full textSince 1842 and the signing of the Treatment of Nanking granting part of Chinese territory to foreign countries, Shanghai is closely linked to the West. From this emerged period ,a Westernized lifestyle in a business class at the controls of a booming economy. Affected by communism, this class will disappear and lifestyle will be the most scathing criticism. It was not until 1990 and the reopening of Shanghai Economic appears again for a deeply Shanghai tour to the West. Generating new economic boost the appearance of a new population, openness also raises questions of identity. Differences between generations are becoming increasingly significant and Shanghai sees a new emerging "new middle class" whose characteristics are not necessarily economic, but become more personal. At the intersection of globalization and the assertion of Chinese power, an original social group asserts itself, it brings together individuals whose personal quest for happiness takes precedence over the interests of the homeland. Between Westernization and Sinisation, this work aims to decipher the lifestyle of the new middle class in Shanghai tracing the history of Shanghai, the redefinition of social classes and analyzing the daily practices of social groups using data mainly derived from work of Chinese sociology and field surveys, questionnaires and interviews and studies of official statistics

Full textAlthough the "Beaux quartiers” are less subject to sociological investigation, they remain prominent segregated spaces in France. Studies and research on the bourgeoisie and on specific spaces of the bourgeoisie are often focused on large French cities such as Paris, Lyons or Marseilles. A smaller city such as Metz has never been studied solely in terms of its bourgeois population.The objective of this dissertation is to examine the socioeconomic characteristics of the Metz bourgeoisie and the way in which it is distributed within the Metz urban area. The latter encompasses the central city of Metz and also its suburbs and suburban ring. Our research is based on empirical material consisting of semi-structured interviews conducted with representative members of the Metz bourgeoisie or highly regarded bourgeois and aristocratic Metz families, as well as with various specialists (real estate agents specialising in prestigious properties, art historians, etc.). In order to grasp the complexity of the Metz bourgeoisie, various statistical and cartographic indicators but also photographic material were used.Firstly, the study presents a state of the art on social and territorial fragmentation in France so as to highlight upward ghettoization.Secondly, the study sheds light on the main benchmarks of wealth and its estimation, while specifying the representational and multidimensional aspects. In addition, the challenges and difficulties of studying wealth and the bourgeoisie are also explained.The Metz bourgeoisie is then studied through the fourfold prism of its residential distribution, its sociability spaces, its socio-economic and socio-electoral characteristics, but also the prism of some of the city's great emblematic families – after a historical perspective.Finally, the study describes and comparatively analyses a particular space of the Metz bourgeoisie – the “Nouvelle Ville” neighbourhood – by showing elements of urban and social morphology and by explaining the criteria of residential selection and the forms of sociability specific to the inhabitants of this rich self-segregated neighbourhood

Full textFrance was still largely a rural country in the 19th century, yet historiography seems to have favoured a thorough study of the bourgeoisie in towns while neglecting to turn its attention to the bourgeoisie in villages. Drawing on public archives, private sources and extensive correspondence, this research seeks to draw together all aspects of bourgeois family life as lived year-round in the countryside. More than a social grouping of the middle class, the rural bourgeoisie can be defined through its position at the heart of rural communities over an extended period of time, in continuity with the social order of the 18th century. “To be bourgeois” strongly implies prosperity and in most cases the ownership of land and property. The notion of work may be essential to a definition of the city bourgeois, but makes less sense in villages where the range of available professions is limited. On the other hand, correspondence reveals the active nature of life for the ladies of the rural bourgeoisie, reaching well beyond the domestic sphere. Life in the countryside engenders a type of bourgeois who is close to his land and to nature. Daily life follows the rhythm of farming, tending the vines, managing the estate, trading wine, animal husbandry and local fairs. Village bourgeois are confronted with the brutality of their rural surroundings: the body and the senses are put to the test. This study explores the history of experience of noises, smells, the cold, local travel and longer journeys, the passage of time and the handling of a pervasive environment.The family home takes on particular importance as a symbol of the village bourgeois' value and prestige. It is a stage on which the family's position and heredity are played out. The implied lifestyle within is one assisted by servants, with whom close yet distant relationships exist. In the countryside, bourgeois ladies and gentlemen differ from their urban counterparts in their uninhibited discussion of many subjects relating to hygiene, intimacy, sexuality. We will explore their use of outward appearance to project a certain image, their nuanced attitudes towards religion, their enjoyment of free time often in contrast to gender stereotypes, their mealtime rituals and their political engagements. Each phase of a rural bourgeois' life will be portrayed, from childhood to death, from education to the making of a marriage, from health to old age. We shall also investigate the bourgeois' relationship with others, in a wine-growing area where the extremely poor as well as with the landed aristocracy can be encountered. His social circle is wider than that of the urban bourgeois, because of his relative isolation in the country, and stretches far beyond the bourgeoisie to encompass his rural neighbours. This study concentrates particularly on the psychology of the bourgeois’ relationship with others. Conditioned as he is to be at ease in any social situation, he is able to operate on many different levels and create his own ecosystem.Following the collapse in land revenue and the outbreak of the phylloxera blight, by 1880 the rural bourgeoisie, more concerned with the past than the future, had all but disappeared. A new bourgeoisie came to replace them in the villages. A quite unexpected vocabulary emerges from the correspondence, revealing a particular semantic apparatus and offering detailed insights into many aspects of rural bourgeois life in the 19th century wine-growing Jura

Full textSince antiquity, lawyers have a special relationship with money. As a key elementof the profession, it plays both a social and a professional role in it.The 19th and 20th « money centuries », symbols of the industrial revolution, ofdeep social changes and of the advent of the middle class, obviously influenced thelinks between lawyers and money. However, as close as these two notions may remain,the profession tries, through its deontology, to keep a distance between them, institutingthe concept of disinterest and the idea of social mission.But it has to take into account the strength and power of societal changes.Refusing to move with the times can only raise criticisms and stir suspicion. More thanever, it is time for lawyers to consider their profession as a metier and to lift the veilfrom centuries of mystery about their links with money
Garrote, Gabriel. "Le pouvoir et ses notables : les membres des conseils consultatifs (Rhône, 1800-1830)." Thesis, Lyon, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017LYSE2128.
Full textThe thesis analyses the political and social system created after the Revolution and the men involved in this system, the notables. It also describes the social history of this system through the department and district councils during the first third of the 19th century in the Rhône. The study on these councils enables us to question the process of selection and creation of an institutional notability. This way, we can understand the relationship between the state and the notables. In fact, the use of the prosopography method shows that these councils are a centerpiece in the creation of an essential social type in the society of the 19th century. They are also a way to see how power tries to associate the notables to a centralized and hierarchic system, and to count on the empowerment of a group which becomes more than a social and political basis, but stands for a territory and its inhabitants. Describing the sociography of these councils thanks to prosopography allows us to understand the link between a social group and the one which is institutionalized by the state. By analyzing the relationship between State, the prefects and the councils, this study aims to understand the links between the purpose that power pursues and the role played by the councils, and how it ables the sustainability and the empowerment of this departemental institution
Dei, Valeria. "L'identité juive inassimilable ˸ récits singuliers d'ascension sociale au XXe siècle. Irène Némirovsky, Albert Cohen et Joseph Roth." Thesis, Paris 3, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019PA030013.
Full textThis thesis aims to analyse the representation of the Jewish condition as it emerges from the novels by Irène Némirovsky, Albert Cohen and Joseph Roth, by exploring the theme of diversity in an unstable equilibrium between assimilation and non-assimilation, of which the 20th century Jew can be considered the most emblematic model. The selected corpus of texts, in fact, almost always contemplates as protagonists Jewish figures who have abandoned their original world and tried to integrate in the middle class society, without ever succeeding and therefore remaining perennially poised between assimilation and non-assimilation. Even though the Jewish diversity and assimilation represent very specific subjects, the proposed thesis is that the Jewish matter that permeates my corpus has been elaborated in a way to become the paradigm of universal situations, associated to all mankind. Starting from the two concepts of paria and parvenu theorised by Hannah Arendt, it has been demonstrated a fruitful analogy between the dynamics of the Jewish assimilation and the mechanisms of the social ascent that is typical of the middle class, that is par excellence a class of parvenus. In this context, the “social ascent” French novel of the 19th century becomes a possible model for the novels of the corpus; moreover, this allowed to insert the thematic discourse within an approach of textual type. Through this comparison with the texts of the French tradition, we intended to show how the works by Némirovsky, Cohen and Roth, describing the aporia of the Jewish assimilation process, are able to reveal the contradictions and the illusions of social equality on which the whole modern middle class society lies

Full textModern historians have good knowledge of the 18th century growth of Bordeaux harbour activity. But works about crew members are scarce while paradoxically such a study had already been led for the « Guyenne » capital as early as in the end of the Middle Ages. Ship commanders stand out from all other rather discreet socio-professional categories related to sailors for many reasons : first, because of the symbolical and legal dimension of their occupation which implies their responsibility whenever it comes to the transportation of men and goods ; secondly, because of their huge fields of expertise, like to be able to steer boats over long distance, to handle crews of dozens of members or to carry out commercial transactions ; last, but not least, because of the social mobility offered by their position. Highly documented in a rich archive collection kept and preserved in Bordeaux, captains have turned into key players of the maritime trade of the modern era. By frequently working and diverting themselves with traders and ship owners, they developed a trusting relationship with them. The question is to determine how this cooperation was shaped, and to know if trading or ship armament were possible career changes within the reach of captains, and if not, how they could integrate the urban elites at work under the « Ancien Régime ». When the colonial and slave trade ensured the Bordeaux harbour’s prosperity, it is the identity of the merchant navy ship commanders working from the capital of « Guyenne » that will be here studied, from the Regency to the French Revolution

Full textPersuaded of the pedagogical interest of literature in the acquisition of the basics by Greek pupils and with the aim of making this subject compulsory, I have examined three authors from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, I. Kondylakis, G. Xenopoulos and C. Theotokis and their representations of members of the middle classes. Ways of life, both in professional and family spheres as well as the behaviour of the elites of Athens, Corfu and Zante whose adventures they recite, reveal the varied nature of this class, its prerogatives and its values. It is thus possible to see that the middle classes of this period paid attention to their appearance as a way of demonstrating their opulence and their power and that marriage, which was often arranged and motivated by self-interest ensured social recognition. Nevertheless, both upper and lower middle classes paid attention to birth control to protect their assets and to prepare the future of their children during a period that was both politically and economically unstable. Despite some distortions and borrowings from French authors, the attachment of these writers to their country and their wish to prick the consciousness by criticising the evils that damage it are noticeable. While offering a new light on this period, their works invite us to reconsider the place of cultural literature in school curricula. Some extracts, grouped together based on themes, commented and accompanied by various exercises show that these texts are accessible to young pupils and are very enriching on condition that the teacher is familiar with and understands the body of work and adapts it to his or her class

Full textMy dissertation, "The People's Republic of Capitalism: The Making of the New Middle Class in Post-Socialist China, 1978-Present" draws on a range of visual cultural forms - cinema, documentary, and fashion - to track the cultural dimension of the emergence of the new middle class subject in China's encounter with global capitalism. Through cultural studies methodologies and critical theoretical practices, I explore the massive reorganization of national subjectivity that has accompanied the economic reforms since 1978. How, I ask, has the middle class replaced the proletariat as the dominant subject of Chinese history? What are the competing social forces that contribute to the making of the new middle class subject, and how do they operate? By considering these questions in terms of the cultural cultivation of new sensibilities as much as identities, I trace China's changing social formations through the realm of cultural productions. This project is organized into three parts, each of which attends to a particular constellation of middle class subjectivities and ideologies. In Part I (Introduction and Chapter 1), I explore how the Chinese middle class subject is shaped by historical, political-economic, and cultural forces. I show that the new social actor is structurally dependent on the national and transnational bourgeoisie and the post-socialist party-state. In Part II (Chapters 2-5), I focus on the relationship among fashion, media, and Chinese consumer culture in the socialist and post-socialist eras. By engaging with films such as Xie Tieli's Never Forget (1964), Huang Zumo's Romance on Lushan (1980), Qi Xingjia's Red Dress is in Fashion (1984), and Jia Zhangke's The World (2004) and Useless (2007), I suggest that the representation of fashion and consumption in Chinese cinema, documentary, and new media is a privileged site for deciphering otherwise imperceptible meanings of class, ideology, and history in the formation of the Chinese middle class subject. In Part III (Chapter 6), I attend to the repressed underside of Chinese consumer culture: rubbish. This project reorients our understanding of socialist and post-socialist China, seeing them as underpinned by the contradictions emblematized in the Chinese middle class.
