Abstract (English): Clothes constitute a material cultural element in which bodies become social since it conveys staples of behavior linked to either moral, ethical, aesthetic ideals, or patterns of distinction socially sanctioned. This article analyzes the meanings built around clothing based on codes for behavior written in morality handbooks and economic treaties that were published and widely used in Yucatan during the second half of the 19th century, and the beginning of the 20th century. These types of texts helped to spread social virtues linked to the ideal of civility, morality and economic progress while shaping social subjects for the ideal nations in process of formation. This explains why in both State's high schools and elementary schools, the youth had to learn and assimilate practices and behaviors entailed in clothing as a code that granted accurate performance in both public and private spheres. This research seeks to contribute to the study of costumes, behavior and mentalities behind in 19th century Yucatan and during its transition towards modernization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): El atavío es un elemento de la cultura material mediante el cual los cuerpos se vuelven sociales, pues trasmite y comunica pautas de comportamiento vinculadas a ideales morales, éticos, estéticos, así como de distinción social determinados por una sociedad. Este artículo analiza los significados construidos en torno a la indumentaria a partir de los códigos de conducta presentes en manuales de moral, urbanidad y tratados de economía doméstica publicados en Mérida o que circularon en Yucatán durante la segunda mitad del siglo xix y comienzos del xx. Este tipo de textos trasmitía las virtudes sociales afines a la civilidad, la moral y el progreso económico que modelarían al sujeto social de las utópicas naciones en formación, razón por la cual en las escuelas primarias y preparatorias del Estado los más jóvenes debían conocer, aprender y asimilar ciertas prácticas y conductas del lenguaje del vestido que, se consideraba, garantizarían su adecuado desenvolvimiento en el ámbito público y privado. Esta propuesta busca contribuir al estudio de las costumbres, comportamiento y mentalidades detrás de la indumentaria yucateca decimonónica y su transición hacia la modernidad. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
