Resumo
Proving that the arrival of the Portuguese court to Brazil (1808) was the reason why the habits of brazilian elites, the present thesis proves that the food and sociability practices that surround them become aspects of distinction of the local elite as a form of insertion in the universe, which implied a refinement of their ways of life, based on a reformulation of consumption needs, circumscribed in the logic of a European civilizing pattern. In order to do it, we chose as the way of analysis the previous period of the arrival of the court, in which Rio de Janeiro went to the capital (1763), the period of the arrival of the court and the initial years, narrated by John Luccock elevated in his work Notas on Rio de Janeiro and the southern parts of Brazil (1820), by Jean Baptiste Debret in the volumes of A picturesque trip and history to Brazil (1834-1839), adding to these sources those of the printed Gazette from Rio de Janeiro (1808-1821). For support theoretically the approach proposed in this way of basic concepts between social relations and consumption, among which the powers highlighted by the collaborators of Pierre Bourdieu (field, habitus, symbolic, structures), Norbert Elias (civilizing process) and Thorstein Veblen (conspicuous consumption), we analyze how they were still in the final phase of the colonial period, especially in the field of consumption of food items and hospitality. Then, we turn to our view from the perspectives of travelers and how contemporary literature debates the contributions of these themes to the comprention of the history. For this analysis, we chose the content analysis as a methodology as the way of an argumentative construction from the exploration of sources, as proposed by Laurence Bardin.
