Espacios y redes de sociabilidad de las oligarquías urbanas en la Galicia moderna: avances y propuestas de estudio

Abstract

This article tries to make an analysis of the main spaces and networks of sociability of Galician urban elites in the Modern Age. The author, first, draws a general draft about the practices of sociability that these oligarchies develop at the institutional level and/or exercise of his power. Secondly, it examines those who they exercise in other scenes or voluntary associations, which usually were distinguished and elitist. And, finally, their participation and involvement in some of the new frames of the illustrated sociability, as the Royal Academies and Economic Societies, which it completes with some concrete examples.
