The goal of this class is to teach methods to analyze and comprihend family structures and their evolution from the 15th century to the first decades of the 20th century examinating demographic and social aspects. The intention is to demonstrate how relationships between family members and family education are a result of cultural conditioning.
The main theme will be the transformation of wedlock during the XV-XX centuries. Phases that preceded the wedding (choice of future spouse/wife, family intrusion, wedding promise), how weddings were ended, cultural, juridical and economical aspects that ruled wedding relationships and their roles in the families.
