“…An elite married to a of their members in urban power positions for each benchmark year. As the relevant kinship distance, we follow the existing literature and employ a threshold at the 6th civil degree of kinshipup to the second cousinsbeyond which individuals generally do not know their family members (Mathieu 2007;Rappo 2021;Ruggiu 2010). We then calculated the average number of kinship ties for each family that had a member among the urban elite in a benchmark year and used sequence analysis to process this longitudinal information.…”

Scholarship demonstrated the major role of inheritance and kinship for elite’s power reproduction, particularly among noble families. In the absence of monarchic and court structures, ruling classes that enjoyed privileges and engaged in social closure could become the functional equivalent of a nobility. In this paper, we examine the evolution of the power of Swiss patrician families in the three major Swiss cities (Basel, Geneva, and Zurich) since the end of the nineteenth century and assess whether urban oligarchies endure in the twentieth century and what role kinship ties play in the reproduction of power structures. Building on a systematic database of 5,199 urban elites who hold power positions in the main economic, political, academic, and cultural institutions, we describe the evolution of Swiss patrician families between 1890 and 1957. Using social network, kinship, and sequence analysis, we provide a comprehensive investigation of the Swiss patrician elite’s evolution at both the individual and the family level. Our analyses show a general decline of patrician families’ presence in urban positions of power, however with significant variations according to both the cities and the spheres of activity. Furthermore, we identify distinct trajectories of families who have either lost their access to power positions, managed to access again or have remained in urban power positions according to different survival strategies. Beyond the Swiss case, we contribute to the literature on power and kinship through an interdisciplinary approach combining historical and sociological perspectives.

“…On entend par ligne collatérale le fait de descendre d'une même souche, soit les frères et soeurs, oncles et neveux, et surtout les cousins 73 . Les mariages entre cousins furent ainsi prohibés par l'Église depuis le concile de Latran IV, en 1215 jusqu'au quatrième degré de parenté 74 . Toutefois, des dispenses à cette interdiction de mariage purent être octroyées par l'évêque en ce qui concerne les troisième et quatrième degrés de parenté 75 .…”

Soumission à Epi-revel International audience Non limitée au sein du cercle familial, la conception de l’inceste au XVIIIe prenait également en compte l’inceste dit spirituel. En ce qui concerne la sanction pénale, un véritable contraste se dessinait entre la doctrine, qui promettait une dure répression (bannissement, peine de mort), et la réalité, appréhendée à travers les jugements des tribunaux, qui se caractérisait souvent par des procédures moins punitives voire amiables, tel l’accommodement.

“…This 'familiarization' was mainly through marriages, and especially an increase of cousin and sibling-set exchange marriages. In contrast, the relationship between the bride and groom and the witnesses to their marriage is based on a momentary event that points to an intense relationship but whose effects over time are reduced (Ruggiu 2010). However, changes can be observed in witness choices along the 19 th century, especially a 'lateralization' process where lateral kin (siblings(-in law) and cousins) were increasingly selected at the detriment of vertical kin (uncles, grand-parents) (Bras 2011).…”
