Debating Discourses, Practising Feminisms
Debating Discourses, Practising Feminisms brings together international debates on the discourses and practices of contemporary feminisms. Discussions range across conflicting analyses of gender and politics at the UN conference at Beijing; nationalism and religious conflict in contemporary India; Re-imaginings of science and subjectivity in anglophone science fiction; and the political and intellectual complexities at stake in the project of lesbian studies in the UK. Contributions from these diverse fields come together to give critical attention to the complex terrain of Feminism in the 1990s.

Sex and the State
Abortion, divorce, and the family: how did the state make policy decisions in these areas in Argentina, Brazil, and Chile during the last third of the twentieth century? As the three countries transitioned from democratic to authoritarian forms of government (and back), they confronted challenges posed by the rise of the feminist movement, social changes, and the power of the Catholic Church. The results were often surprising: women's rights were expanded under military dictatorships, divorce was legalized in authoritarian Brazil but not in democratic Chile, and no Latin American country changed its laws on abortion. Sex and the State explores these patterns of gender-related policy reform and shows how they mattered for the peoples of Latin America and for a broader understanding of the logic behind the state's role in shaping private lives and gender relations everywhere.
Legal Feminism
The volume offers an overview of the theories and practices of Italian legal feminism, presenting both the main themes addressed and the main protagonists of Italian feminist legal theory. The book is divided into two parts. The first is dedicated to deepening crucial issues that directly concern women’s knowledge and lives from a feminist perspective, such as the interconnection between law, rights and justice; diversity, difference and equality; sex, sexuality and reproduction; citizenship and borders; deviance, criminal matters and security; and victims, victimology, and vulnerability. Each set of thematic issues is analysed by a current Italian feminist legal scholar, who engages with ...
Abortion in the New Europe
In brief, concise chapters, this volume considers the status of abortion in Europe today. Each chapter provides an overview of abortion in the subject country, including the historical background; the current legal, medical, and social situation; and the political forces for and against abortion. In an introductory chapter, the editors consider the issues pertaining to abortion in the aftermath of the Cold War. The volume then includes chapters on Austria, Belgium, Britain, Bulgaria, the Czech and Slovak Republics, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the former Soviet Union. Each chapter was written by an authority of the country, and the contributors were asked to answer a specific set of questions concerning the law in the subject country, abortion in practice, the politics of abortion, and the future. The approach makes the book a valuable tool for comparative analysis.
Rastreando lo invisible
Presenta una investigación pionera en España acerca de mujeres extranjeras presas, tanto por la información teórica y empírica sobre las distintas políticas migratorias, anti-droga, penitenciarias y de bienestar que aporta, como por la metodología utilizada. A partir de un enfoque teórico multidisciplinar, la obra ofrece nuevas reflexiones sobre las políticas y numerosos datos para comprender el proceso de encarcelamiento de estas mujeres extranjeras.
La mediación en las diversas disciplinas jurídicas
"La consideración de la mediación, cuyas ventajas son sobradamente conocidas por todos, como un camino hacia la paz, se encuentra estrechamente unida a la posibilidad de que, a través de la misma, las relaciones existentes entre las partes sobrevivan al conflicto; relaciones que, de otra forma, quedarían, irremediablemente, rotas para siempre. Este beneficio —estas ventajas— es extrapolable a muchos sectores de la sociedad, pues muchos son los ámbitos en los que la mediación puede cumplir esta función pacificadora. Los últimos años —quizás la última década— han sido muy prolíferos en lo que al desarrollo de la mediación se refiere. Cada vez en mayor medida se va consiguiendo una toma de conciencia y, con ella, una desjudicialización de la sociedad, tan necesaria para asumir la mediación como verdadera alternativa a la vía judicial. No obstante, aún queda mucho camino por recorrer, tanto desde un punto de vista político, como jurídico. En gran parte, a esto último —al aspecto jurídico—, es a lo que intenta contribuir esta obra". Manuel García Mayo.
La sociología del control penal en España y Latinoamérica.
El presente libro es un homenaje y continuación del acervo intelectual bergalliano y es también una manera de hermanamiento y a la vez consolidación de lo que podría denominarse “la escuela de Barcelona de la criminología crítica”. En los trabajos que presentan destacadas figuras de la criminología de España, Argentina, Brasil, Colombia, Venezuela, México y Chile se observa esa unidad en la diversidad que, al rendir homenaje al maestro, retoma y amplía consideraciones sobre los saberes y enseñanzas, sobre la cuestión criminal, el control social, la cárcel, la justicia (especialmente la transicional), la policía y la violencia, así como una muy nutrida e importante reflexión sobre el derecho penal y las mujeres, los delitos de los poderosos, los estudios culturales y la cuestión migratoria, entre otros temas.
