Sociology, family history and genealogy

Pictures, biographies, families and genealogies in the Brazilian Tradition. The Brazilian social class structure also can be analyzed in terms of a genealogical structure. Social itineraries and social reproduction. Social capital and social mobility related to life histories and biographies. Empirical cases of Brazilian families from different social groups and different status quo. Genealogies as a sociological showcase of generations, social mobility and social reproduction. We use the contribution of Daniel Bertaux and others as a theoretical framework to explain several cases of Brazilian families analyzed and discussed in our research with reference to the past and present positions.
