L'écheveau des parentèles au village : dynamiques démographiques, mobilisations réticulaires et parcours individuels dans une communauté de Vénétie au XIXe siècle.

The study is made from the complete reconstruction of an industrial Italian village (textile industry) in the 19th century: Follina, in Venetia. In the 19th century, the local population rose from 1,200 inhabitants to nearly 1600. Kinship is called to report empirically its role in the transmission of the values and social capitals with regard to the community context. Kinship is observed by its ability to influence interpersonal and intergenerational relationship. Thesis' narrative is divided into two parts. On the one hand an analysis of context, relationships and positions, in an almost microhistorical way, on the other hand more sophisticated analysis using methods of formal Social Network Analysis and methods of Event History Analysis. Analyses focus on demographic events such as marriage, migration, death and birth control (source population registers). Through studies on the godparenthood relation, as an important social relation, it is possible to estimate in an original way the quality of the kinships' practices. The survey goes to the sense to place each actor (families, individuals) in the exact "availability" and the "quality" which he has in the village. While considering other variables such as socio-economic, gender, age, it could be observe what are the priorities given in families, how to define the demographic choices and availability of kin when managing the emergencies and mutual support.
