Demi-monde is French for "half-world". The term derives from a play called Le Demi-Monde, by Alexandre Dumas fils, published in 1855. The play dealt with the way that prostitution at that time threatened the institution of marriage. The demi-monde was the world occupied by elite men and the women who entertained them and whom they kept, the pleasure-loving and dangerous world Dumas immortalized in the 1848 novel La Dame aux Camélias and its many adaptations. Demimondaine became a synonym for a courtesan or a prostitute who moved in these circles—or for a woman of social standing with the power to thumb her nose at convention and throw herself into the hedonistic nightlife. A woman who made that choice would soon find her social status lost, as she became "déclassée". The 1958 film Gigi, ba

  • En France, au XIXe siècle, la demi-mondaine est une femme dont le statut oscille entre la prostituée de luxe et la maîtresse entretenue par de riches Parisiens. Ce groupe social, jusque-là invisible, se manifeste bruyamment dans la presse, le théâtre, les réunions publiques et finalement dans toute la société parisienne à partir du Second Empire pour atteindre son apogée vers 1900 et disparaître pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Ces « cocottes » de basse ou haute condition sont appelées aussi « Grandes horizontales ». (fr)

  • Demi-monde is een Franse term waarmee een klasse van hedonistische vrouwen aan de rand van de hogere kringen werd aangeduid. De term was eind negentiende eeuw in Europa gangbaar en werd tot kort voor de Eerste Wereldoorlog gebruikt. Met de term demi-monde werd de groep vrouwen als geheel aangeduid, individueel werden ze demi-mondaine genoemd. De Franse term betekent letterlijk "halfwereld" en is ontleend aan de komedie Le Demi-Monde (1855) van Alexandre Dumas fils. (nl)

С носителями высокого потомственного статуса, представителями лучших семейств здесь соседствуют теперь люди случая, ловцы удачи, авантюристы, модники, аферисты. В этом смысле, полусвет — характерный феномен западных обществ в начальные периоды эпохи модерна. (ru)

  • Na França do século XIX, o termo "demi-mondaine" (aprox. "semi-mundana", em português) designava as mulheres sustentadas por parisienses ricos. Esse grupo social, até então invisível, manifesta-se com alarde na imprensa, no teatro e reuniões públicas a partir do Segundo Império, atingindo seu apogeu por volta de 1900 e desaparecendo durante a Primeira Guerra Mundial. "Esses senhores eram abastados o suficiente para satisfazer as necessidades de uma mulher em casa e de outra na galeria. Ao juntar metade de si a uma "semi", eles reinventaram a bigamia".. . (pt)
