• Resumen

  • Family resemblances, understood as the recovery of somatic traits and similar physical aspects among different individuals with blood ties, were not a question that greatly interested the men and women of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. But to the almost absolute silence on this subject in family letters there is counterpoised a curious loquacity on similarities of brothers and sisters in other sources, both figurative -family portraits -and not- fairly tales. The essay analyzes the languages of all these types of sources to reconstruct the ways through whhich the "corporeality" of fraternal relations within the family came to be articulated during the ancien Régime.
