Abstract

Family is the social organism that attends to express the begining and final of civilitys, is the social legitim organization to shelter, inside the visible and invisible walls, the private and closer spaces like secrets in each one. Also attends the normity that cover the group for future relationships. According to Norbert Elías there is a mechanism who get the civilizatory action, this mechanism is linked with the self-regulation of every human been in a civilizatory process. The self-regulation interferes as the way in how to response to specific situations as the social groups‟ expectations, in this way the family. This work tries to explore the imbrication between civility in the day-to-day spaces, specifically in the kitchen. To do that, we try to explore four variables: power, the kind of family, the food and the stablished and outsiders. The main author consulted was Norbert Elías with his civilizatory process theory.
