"This book has three key aims: first, to show how the legal treatment of cohabiting couples has changed over the past four centuries, from punishment as fornicators in the seventeenth century to eventual acceptance as family in the late twentieth; second, to chart how the language used to refer to cohabitation has changed over time and how different terms influenced policy debates and public perceptions; and, third, to estimate the extent of cohabitation in earlier centuries. To achieve this it draws on hundreds of reported and unreported cases as well as legislation, policy papers and debates in Parliament; thousands of newspaper reports and magazine articles; and innovative cohort studies that provide new and more reliable evidence as to the incidence (or rather the rarity) of cohabitation in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century England. It concludes with a consideration of the relationship between legal regulation and social trends"--

"Welcome to the European family!" When East European countries joined the European Union under this banner after 1989, they agreed to the free movement of goods, services, capital, and persons. In this book, Anca Parvulescu analyzes an important niche in this imagined European kinship: the traffic in women, or the circulation of East European women in West Europe in marriage and as domestic servants, nannies, personal attendants, and entertainers. Analyzing film, national policies, and an impressive range of work by theorists from Giorgio Agamben to Judith Butler, she develops a critical lens through which to think about the transnational continuum of "women's work." Parvulescu revisits Claude Lévi-Strauss's concept of kinship and its rearticulation by second-wave feminists, particularly Gayle Rubin, to show that kinship has traditionally been anchored in the traffic in women. Reading recent cinematic texts that help frame this, she reveals that in contemporary Europe, East European migrant women are exchanged to engage in labor customarily performed by wives within the institution of marriage. Tracing a pattern of what she calls Americanization, Parvulescu argues that these women thereby become responsible for the labor of reproduction. A fascinating cultural study as much about the consequences of the enlargement of the European Union as women's mobility, The Traffic in Women's Work questions the foundations of the notion of Europe today.

Le champ protecteur de la Convention européenne des droits de l'Homme s'étend au couple. En réalité, l'étendue de la protection accordée par la Convention varie en fonction de la nature du couple. Le couple marié bénéficie d'une protection accrue qui touche tant la formation du mariage que l'état de mariage. Le couple hétérosexuel non marié jouit quant à lui d'une protection minimale en ce sens que, si les autorités nationales n'ont pas l'obligation de le doter d'un statut analogue à celui du couple marié, elles doivent toutefois respecter la vie familiale qu'il est susceptible de faire naître. Enfin, la protection conventionnelle reconnue au couple homosexuel non marié est pour l'heure quasi inexistante : selon la Cour européenne des droits de l'Homme, la relation homosexuelle n'est pas constitutive d'une vie familiale, de sorte que ses membres ne peuvent bénéficier que du droit au respect de la vie privée. L'étendue de la protection accordée à la relation homosexuelle au nom du respect dû à la vie privée mérite toutefois d'être analysée dans la mesure où elle pourrait bien constituer un élément déterminant d'une évolution vers la reconnaissance de la vie familiale homosexuelle. En effet, les droits accordés aux homosexuels au nom du respect dû à leur vie privée prennent de plus en plus une dimension familiale et ont des incidences certaines sur leur vie de couple. En droit de la famille tout particulièrement, en raison des sensibilités et traditions nationales, la Cour met systématiquement en avant le principe d'interprétation selon lequel les normes conventionnelles doivent se lire à la lumière des conditions d'aujourd'hui. Dans ses décisions, elle prend notamment soin de s'appuyer sur l'état des législations dans les États membres. En effet, dans le domaine familial, l'existence ou non d'une tendance majoritaire au sein des droits nationaux constitue très souvent un facteur pertinent pour fixer le champ d'application de la Convention et mesurer l'étendue de…

"This volume completes Keith McMahon's acclaimed history of imperial wives and royal polygamy in China. Avoiding the stereotype of the emperor's plural wives as mere victims or playthings, the book considers empresses and concubines as full-fledged participants in palace life, whether as mothers, wives, or go-betweens in the emperor's relations with others in the palace. Although restrictions on women's participation in politics increased dramatically after Empress Wu in the Tang, the author follows the strong and active women, of both high and low rank, who continued to appear. They counseled emperors, ghostwrote for them, oversaw succession when they died, and dominated them when they were weak. They influenced the emperor's relationships with other women and enhanced their aura and that of the royal house with their acts of artistic and religious patronage. Dynastic history ended in China when the prohibition that women should not rule was defied for the final time by Dowager Cixi, the last great monarch before China's transformation into a republic"--Provided by publisher.
