La autora realiza un análisis del amasiato como origen de familia en México; parte del fenómeno sociológico denominado “casa chica”. Aborda el estudio de la familia como institución, su naturaleza jurídica, su regulación y protección constitucional en derecho mexicano. Se refiere al derecho de las familias que nacen del amasiato a ser visibilizadas por la ley. Se hace un estudio de derecho comparado con el reconocimiento de derechos de pensión por viudez a la compañera permanente que realiza la legislación y la Corte Suprema de la República de Colombia. En el mismo contexto, se hace referencia al pronunciamiento de los tribunales federales de México sobre el reconocimiento de derechos alimentarios a la mujer que vive o ha vivido en amasiato. De manera análoga, la autora se refiere a la armonización del criterio mencionado en la legislación vigente en el estado de Coahuila, México.

Este trabajo deriva de la tesis de licenciatura intitulada: “El daño moral como parte de la responsabilidad civil en el Derecho Mexicano y el Derecho Internacional Comparado”, tema de una especial aridez, tanto práctico como doctrinariamente; esto derivado de las causas que especifica el legislador para determinar “razonablemente y en equidad” el “quantum numerarium” cantidad económica que tendría que resarcir afectaciones sentimentales, mentales o incluso pérdidas de vida. Labor encomiable del juzgador que tampoco puede ser pitonisa del oráculo de Delfos, para adivinar una reparación del daño moral tal indescifrable. En base al método del derecho comparado y adentrando en las diferentes teorías internacionales para la determinación del daño moral, se examinaron también diferentes instrumentos jurídicos mexicanos y del extranjero sobre la materia de estudio e Igualmente, se analiza diversas resoluciones judiciales dictadas por nuestros tribunales de justicia y algunas sentencias también emitidas en el derecho extranjero para darle una debida conformación al tema.

Literary Biography from Below Stairs Devoney Looser (bio) Alison Light's book is a profoundly original study of a neglected aspect of a successful author's life and writings. There have been studies of servants in English literature—most notably Bruce Robbins's The Servant's Hand: English Fiction from Below—as well as historical studies of servants' lives in Great Britain, including Bridget Hill's Servants: English Domestics in the Eighteenth Century and Jessica Gerard's Country House Life: Family and Servants, 1815–1914. 1 A number of books have been published focusing on the life of a single domestic servant, often the rare woman who left us with a diary. Biographers have, however, rarely dared to (or perhaps cared to) put servants at the center of a study of their famous subjects' lives. In the case of Mrs Woolf and the Servants, doing so has produced stunning results. The book forces us to take a more capacious view of the Bloomsbury Circle, including the servants (primarily female) who made it possible. As Light argues, "without all the domestic care and hard work which servants provided there would have been no art, no writing, no 'Bloomsbury'" (xvii). Despite attention to the subject in recent histories, domestic service remains "in the twilight zone of historical record" (1), particularly in biographies of authors, intellectuals, or politicians. Woolf's diaries meticulously record her interactions with servants, though past biographers have not used them as central material. By bringing the lives and work of Sophie Farrell, Nellie Boxall, Lottie Hope, and others to the center, Light offers a new window into the Woolfs, as well as their unsung domestics. She reminds us how psychologically enmeshed the lives of "master" and "servant" could be, and how profoundly domestic service changed over the course of Woolf's lifetime and beyond. After an informative preface and prologue, the book introduces Sophia "Sophie" Farrell (1861–1941), a servant from Virginia Stephen's girlhood into her adult life. We learn not only of Sophie's place in Virginia's life, but also about the conditions of service as they changed from the Victorian era. Farrell passed from one Stephen family house to the next as cook; she outlived Woolf, for whom she served as a mother figure (73). Farrell is apparently the only servant for whom Woolf provided after leaving her employ, sending her £10 a year as a pension (69). Light titles the chapter "The Family Treasure," offering a provocative contrast to Farrell's meager economic clout. [End Page 135] A chapter on housemaid and cook Lottie Hope (ca. 1890–1973) allows Light to consider child labor, rural schools, women's charitable work, and the thin line between adoption and abduction (97). Hope, a foundling, was adopted by Edith Sichel and raised in her Home for Deserted Children. Lottie "belonged to the first generation of working-class girls entitled to a free state education at elementary level," and would have learned "the three Cs"—cooking, cleaning, and care of clothing, as well as probably a fourth "C"—childcare (105–6). Like the subject of the next chapter, Nellie Boxall, Hope used these skills primarily on behalf of her employers, as she neither married nor had children. Ten years Virginia Woolf's junior, Lottie Hope "got away with murder and she was always taken back" (84). Perhaps this was because, despite her child-like ways and lifelong dependencies, Hope "was always remembered with affection" (297). Hope, too, moved among Stephen family households and Bloomsbury houses, ultimately living with Boxall, for whom she had long served as a sidekick. (Light concludes it was unlikely the women were lovers.) The most gripping chapter is that on the Woolfs' cook (or cook general), Nellie Boxall (1890–1965), who was so often fired and rehired (or who would threaten to quit but then retract having given her notice) that it is impossible to summarize. Light describes Woolf's diary treatment of Boxall as vicious (xiii). The story of a fight during which Boxall told Woolf to get out of "her" room is among the book's most moving sections (192–93). Of course, the room was, strictly speaking, Woolf's, and not...

This chapter is based on empirical findings from a longitudinal study of Danish expatriates and their domestic staff in New Delhi. The premise is that most Danish expatriates strongly react—or resist—when they move to India and encounter what they experience as obvious inequality or inhumane work conditions in domestic service. I argue that “resistance” can be used as an analytical tool to explore transformative life situations, such as privileged migration when moving is not only a question of crossing national borders but also about moving up the social ladder in a place where poverty and inequality is explicitly present. The empirical findings show that the Danish expatriates have to negotiate embodied habits, moral values and images of themselves in their encounters with domestic staff. In their everyday life, they go to great lengths to provide decent work conditions for their domestic staff during their stay, and they use levelling strategies to overcome the uncomfortableness of their new social position. Moreover, the Danish expatriates draw on familiar discourses from back home along with novel local frameworks of understandings from middle class—and elite Indians—and other expatriates to justify their reactions and actions as employers. Thus, they seem to re-narrate their novel practices into frameworks that fit their prior value system, rather than transforming it.

A small group of dedicated women is organizing domestic servants in Lima, Peru. Like the maids they organize, these women migrated at a young age from their rural, poor families to work in moderate and upper income, urban families. Their efforts to organize the sector are frustrated both by structural aspects of the relationship of the domestic servant to her family, as well as by the pervasive ideology of the family sphere, which is sanctioned through collective institutions. The journey young women make from the rural to urban context is facilitated through the medium of the family as a socioeconomic and ideological form. The family has seemingly universal characteristics as well as aspects that are specific to particular class and cultural contexts. I shall argue that the idiom of the family as inclusive, just, and as a natural age-based division of labor and power, serves to structure a relationship of inequality-indeed, exploitation-one powerfully legitimized by the church and the state. But, the metaphor of the family is itself contradictory at least in its application to the conditions of domestic service, something that emerges in the experience of the domestic servants themselves. Efforts to organize the domestic servant sector began in the early 1970s, during a period of sustained economic growth and stability of the Peruvian economy. The macroeconomic changes occurring in Peru serve to restructure the nature of the domestic domain, thereby changing the character of the domestic servant's position. As these changes occur, creative strategies for organizing the sector are demanded.

This chapter takes up two case studies of female labour migration in contemporary Indonesia: Torajan women from the interior of Sulawesi to the coastal cities and Indonesian (mostly Javanese) women to the Middle East (principally Saudi Arabia). It examines conditions of domestic service using data collected from interviews with, and observations of, a number of young women working as domestic servants in Ujung Pandang, the provincial capital of South Sulawesi. In recent years in Indonesia, some public concern has developed about the working conditions of the growing number of Indonesian women being recruited as domestic servants to the Middle East. Cultural credos about male responsibility to protect female honour are not adhered to in the case of the Indonesian domestic workers abroad, whereas they do appear to influence the way female servants are treated at home. In internal migration, Indonesian women obviously benefit from regional and familial networks as well as the ‘familial’ mode of domestic work.

In this appealing autobiography, Rose Cohen looks back on her family's journey from Tsarist Russia to New York City's Lower East Side. Her account of their struggles and of her own coming of age in a complex new world vividly illustrates what was, for some, the American experience. First published in 1918, Cohen's narrative conveys a powerful sense of the aspirations and frustrations of an immigrant Jewish family in an alien culture. With uncommon frankness, Cohen reports her youthful impressions of daily life in the tenements and of working conditions in garment sweatshops and domestic service. She introduces a large cast, including her co-workers, employers, mentors, family members, and friends. In simple yet moving terms, she recalls how, while confronting setbacks caused by poor health and dilemmas posed by courtship, she finds opportunities to educate herself. She also records the gradual weakening of her family's commitment to religion as they find their way from the shadow of poverty toward the mainstream of American life

Personal services have attracted considerable attention from policy makers in France, with a view to achieving two objectives: creating jobs and reintegrating those individuals furthest removed from the labour market. Attempts to achieve these objectives have tended to emphasise job quantity at the expense of job quality, which, despite the avowed efforts of employers and regulators, remains poor. How can this discrepancy be explained? The article analyses the series of mechanisms at work. While some of these mechanisms are the same as those at work in all personal services, others vary according to the activity in question. Care activities, for example, are caught up in a 'vicious circle', while those employed in domestic services are caught in a 'precarity trap'. The fact that these two areas of activity belong to different 'worlds of production' means that the prospects for improving job quality are greater in one (care activities) than in the other.

The article deals with the development of housing and communal and domestic services of the population of the Aktobe region in 1945 -1953. This problem hasn’t been separately considered in the modern national historiography, and the available researches on Aktobe region were mainly devoted to economic and cultural life of the population and contain only fragmentary information. In this connec- tion, the purpose of the given work is the analysis of a condition of housing and communal services in the post-war years, revealing of the inhabitants’ problems in conditions of the post-war development, on the basis of attraction of archive materials. The author pays attention to the issues of housing provision, the state of the city housing stock and the rate of construction of new houses, the development of electri- fication, the water supply and sewerage system in the region. In the conclusion the author concludes that the state of the institutions of consumer services in the period under consideration was not satisfactory. The sphere of housing and communal services in Aktobe oblast was lagging behind, despite the intensive industrial and agricultural development of the region. Some positive changes in addressing the housing issue, improvement of districts, electrification began to appear only in 1951-1952 years. Key words: Aktobe oblast, housing, housing and utilities, consumer services.

Анализируются положения монографии «Концептуальные проблемы обеспечения законности в современных условиях», подготовленной коллективом ученых Университета прокуратуры РФ и Института законодательства и сравнительного правоведения при Правительстве РФ. Выводы и предложения авторов монографии основаны на глубоком изучении отечественных и зарубежных научных трудов, посвященных проблематике законности, на анализе практики правоохранительных органов и органов государственного контроля (надзора), прокурорского надзора за соблюдением Конституции РФ, исполнением законов, соблюдением прав и свобод человека и гражданина, судебной практики, а также на результатах социологических исследований, проведенных в рамках подготовки монографии. Заслугой признаются разработанные авторским коллективом концептуальные положения и полученные теоретико-методологические результаты, которые расширяют имеющиеся в теории права современные научные представления о ее важнейшей категории «законность»; теоретическом осмыслении сущности и содержания прокурорской деятельности в государственном механизме обеспечения законности; роли и месте органов прокуратуры в осуществлении надзора за соблюдением Конституции РФ и исполнением законов, прокурорского надзора за соблюдением прав и свобод человека и гражданина, а также полномочий органов прокуратуры по представительству и защите интересов Российской Федерации в межгосударственных, иностранных и международных инстанциях. The provisions of the monograph "Conceptual problems of ensuring the rule of law in modern conditions", prepared by a team of scientists from the University of the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation and the Institute of Legislation and Comparative Law under the Government of the Russian Federation, are analyzed. The conclusions and proposals of the authors of the monograph are based on a deep study of domestic and foreign scientific works devoted to the problems of legality, on the analysis of the practice of law enforcement agencies and state control (supervision), prosecutorial supervision over the observance of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the implementation of laws, observance of the rights and freedoms of man and citizen, judicial practice, as well as on the results of sociological research conducted in the preparation of the monograph. The merit is the conceptual provisions developed by the team of authors and the theoretical and methodological results obtained, which expand the current scientific ideas in the theory of law about its most important category of "legality"; theoretical understanding of the essence and content of prosecutorial activities in the state mechanism for ensuring the rule of law; the role and place of the prosecutor's office in exercising supervision over the observance of the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the execution of laws, prosecutorial supervision over the observance of human and civil rights and freedoms, as well as the powers of the prosecutor's office to represent and protect the interests of the Russian Federation in interstate, foreign and international instances.

In this article, I analyze the transnational migration of Filipino women moving to São Paulo to work as domestic workers, exploring the emigration context in the Philippines, the importance of South-South migrations in the care economy, the domestic service conditions in Brazil, and finally, the individual life journeys of four Filipinas. They were interviewed in a semi-structured way for this purpose. My goal is to emphasize the numerous factors that structure such mobility and domesticity, highlighting some experiences in a specific local context concerning the social division of care work and the actor’s subjectivity. In a global context, women move and undertake life-sustaining activities, combining the global economy, affections, and their own life journeys in the home’s micro space.

OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS television news cameras have focussed on the developing world where children as young as five years of age slave away making products for Western consumption. Last year, a Canadian teenager drew North American attention to the Dickensian plight of Pakistani children who stitch together soccer balls for the sporting goods manufacturer, Nike, or work in dark, poorly ventilated explosives factories making fireworks for Fourth of July, Guy Fawkes Night, and Canada Day celebrations.Although by turns naive and self-righteous, this crusade and others like it pricked the conscience of the Western world. Bargain-hungry North American and European consumers and 'evil'.multinationals were blamed for exploiting defenceless Third World children. Few escaped scrutiny. Kathy Lee Gifford, a United States television personality, was embarrassed to learn that the clothing bearing her name on sale at hundreds of Wal-Mart stores was made by exploited workers, many of them under 16 years old, in Central American sweatshops.Throughout Europe and North America, organized labour, non- governmental organizations, and other lobby groups managed to rally public support for fair labour standards by shaming multinationals into action. But while anti-child labour crusaders focussed their efforts against large corporations doing business in Third World countries, they virtually ignored what was happening in their own backyard. Then in September 1995, police raided sweatshops in California and New York which employed illegal Thai workers. According to main-stream press reports, the workers, some of them children, were confined against their will and forced to make clothing that was sold in large and profitable American retail chains. Although the reports of virtual slavery were indeed shocking, many interest groups preferred to confine their campaigns to the squalid conditions in the developing world. Perhaps it was easier and more politically advantageous to blame multinationals and seemingly uncaring Third World legislators for the problem than to try to rectify such complex inequities at home.James Cooper teaches advanced public international law at the Faculty of Law, University of Toronto. A barrister and solicitor, he has lectured on comparative and international law throughout Europe and North America.Child labour is an enormous and widespread global issue. Although the problem is most prevalent in the Third World, the exploitation of children in labour is an age-old concern, affecting both the industrialized and underdeveloped worlds. In the Third World, the statistics are predictably grim. According to the International Labour Organisation (ILO), in developing countries as many as 250 million children between the ages of five and fourteen are engaged in some kind of economic activity. At least half are employed full-time. Between 15 and 20 per cent are under the age of ten. Many are employed in conditions that harken back to the early days of the Industrial Revolution. They work in factories and warehouses, in forced or bonded labour conditions, sometimes at the behest of their parents. They make matches and fireworks, toil in mines and brickworks. They are exposed to a number of lethal hazards, including pesticide poisoning and toxic fumes. Outside the factories, millions of children work in the agriculture and fishing industries. Millions more work as domestic servants and as prostitutes.Child labour knows no boundaries. The ILO claims that the biggest problem is in Asia, which has an estimated 153 million child workers. Africa comes second with 80 million child labourers. There are an estimated 17.8 million child labourers in Latin America. But such broad strokes do not adequately explain the situation. Brazil, the largest Latin American economy, has more children aged 14 or under at work than does India. Turkey has 24 million child labourers, while Thailand has more than 16 million.The problem also exists in industrialized European countries. …
