Los feminicidios y el pasado: cómo la historia explica la violencia de género
No full textGender violence is daily fact for many women in Latin America. It is not a new phenomenon rather, gender violence in the region has a long history. This article examines the way that gender violence was normalized and invisibilized in the 19th and 20th century. I explore the way that women’s bodies were conceptualized as possessions and the state apparatus of police and judicial system allowed gender violence to act as an escape valve for subaltern men.La violencia de género es una realidad cotidiana para muchas mujeres en América Latina. No es un fenómeno nuevo sino tiene raíces muy largas en la región. Este articulo examina la forma en la cual la violencia de género se ha normalizado y invisibilizado en los siglos XIX y XX. Exploro las formas en las cuales los cuerpos femeninos se concibieron como posesiones y el aparato estatal formado por las fuerzas policías y el sistema judicial permitieron la violencia de género actuar como una válvula de escape para los hombres subalternos
Liberalism in the Bedroom: Quarreling Spouses in Nineteenth-Century Lima. CHRISTINE HUNEFELT: University Park, PA: Pennsylvania State University Press, 2000.
No full textWhat can a fight between husband and wife tell us about the past? Christine Hunefelt uses over one thousand conjugal battles from the ecclesiastical archives of Lima to paint a portrait of nineteenth-century Peru. She completes the documentary representation with the continuation of these conflicts in civil, criminal and notarial sources in order to record decades of marital strife. Her painstaking research provides her with the foundation for a very comprehensive portrait of domestic life in nineteenth-century Peru that shows the gradual alterations that occurred in families with the changes of independence and republicanism. Many historians have, quite rightly, emphasized the continuities of family law and everyday realities in the early national period. Hunefelt does not contradict these findings per se, but she shows the subtle ways that life was changing for men and women with her deft analysis.

No full textEighteenth-century transformations in the ideas about manliness in New Spain gave rise to the perception of scandalous behaviour among the sons of elite families. These young men partied, drank to excess, gambled, womanized, and refused any respectable occupations—all activities that previously had been dismissed as the “folly of youth.” Where dangerous conduct within the period of liminal youth, from the ages of 20 to 25, had previously been tolerated, new ideas about masculinity made such actions a threat to family honour. Changes in vagrancy laws in the eighteenth century allowed families to use the state to discipline their offspring and supress the scandals. Families denounced their sons thus allowing themselves to take the high moral ground and to contain the scandal of their sons’ conduct. Using the ideas of Ari Adut, I explore the logic of the denunciations and their use by elite families in New Spain in order to understand the radical departure of conceptions of scandals among elite families and their deployment of vagrancy denunciations.Las transformaciones dieciochescas en las ideas sobre la hombría en la Nueva España suscitaron una nueva percepción de que los hijos de familias de la elite actuaban de forma escandalosa. Estos jóvenes festejaban toda la noche, se emborrachaban, participaban en juegos, eran mujeriegos y rehusaban cualquier oficio o trabajo respetable—todas actividades que previamente se descartaba como la “locura de la juventud”. Las conductas peligrosas del periodo de la juventud liminal, desde los 20 hasta los 25, antes habían sido toleradas, pero las nuevas ideas de la masculinidad redefinieron estas acciones como una amenaza al honor familiar. Los cambios en las leyes de vagancia permitieron a las familias utilizar el estado para disciplinar sus hijos y suprimir los escándalos. En las denuncias a sus hijos, las familias se permitieron una superioridad moral y contener los escándalos de la conducta de sus hijos. Utilizando las ideas de Ari Adut, exploro la lógica de las denuncias y su uso por las familias de la elite novohispana para entender la ruptura radical de los conceptos del escándalo entre las familias de la elite y su despliegue de las denuncias de vagancia
