| Abstract | |
The descriptions and prescriptions of the various aspects of the daily life of the good people were recurrent in the writings on Rio de Janeiro during the nineteenth century. In the first periodicals aimed at the female audience, created in 1827, in the newspapers published since 1808 and in the entanglements of the first Carioca novels, religious and worldly festivities - dances and serenades -, theatrical presentations, fashion columns, merchants dedicated to selling their imported goods, mentions to the good treatment of clothing, the value of fashion and beauty, and the importance of well-being were present topics. Starting from this varied documentary corpus that contemplates from the threshold of the Eighth, when the European professionals began to settle in the central streets of Rio de Janeiro, until the middle of 1850, when the discourses on the fashion and the aspects of the civilization already were rooted in the society of Rio de Janeiro, the present dissertation seeks to present and question how care with appearance and fashion have gained centrality in the life of eighteenth-century women. The fundamental purpose, in other words, is to make known the scenario of a Brazilian capital that was open to the discourses of civility and Europeanization of social spaces and daily habits through standardized dress patterns. From what we believe to be the awakening of fashion in the society of Rio de Janeiro, we try to bring to light the particularities and recurrences of these discourses and how they helped to compose a type of ideal woman from the nineteenth century.
