This book discusses to what extent and how constitutional design and practice in Latin America have helped in combatting the subordination of women and LGBTQIA+ people. Covering 11 jurisdictions, the chapters identify the main elements of the constitutional gender order and survey jurisprudential and legislative developments in different areas, incorporating contextual analysis and references to history, political dynamics, social movements, feminist struggles, normative efficacy, and policy. In the context of a constitutionalism that has been celebrated as particularly innovative and socially engaged, the book assesses constitutional performance in the quest to supersede the separate gender...
Translated and updated from the seminal Spanish text on legal decisions affecting gender and sexuality in Latin America, this English edition is the only law text to focus specifically on the rights of lesbians, gays, bisexuals and the transgender population in addition to women’s rights more broadly. The volume provides close analysis of some of the most important decisions made by Latin American national courts, as well as those made by international legal bodies, that affect the rights and interests of these groups. Specially selected for their depth of argument and value as exemplars, the studies of good legal practice chart the path of the region’s normative values of justice as the...
This book presents the most thorough analysis to date on the jurisprudence of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACtHR) concerning full reparations. This jurisprudence interprets Article 63 of the American Convention on Human Rights. In its interpretation of the Convention, the IACtHR is guided by the important notion that human rights instruments should be interpreted in light of its object and purpose, in accordance with the State members of the Organization of the American States. The Court’s jurisprudence ensures that victims of human rights violations are awarded not only monetary compensation in cases, but also a full array of reparations designed to restore their dignity and...

Esta obra es fruto de un esfuerzo colectivo centrado en el estudio de las emociones en la Edad Moderna, con un claro protagonista: las mujeres, bien como sujetos activos, o como objetos del afán y las pasiones procedentes de hombres, grupos o profesiones. La importancia del estudio de lo emocional, de manifiesto en las últimas décadas, se plasma aquí en un acercamiento espacial diverso (Inglaterra, España, Sur de la América Colonial) en tiempos amplios (siglos XVII-XIX), y enfoques interdisciplinares: la Historia, la Literatura, el Arte confluyen en una mirada temática. En el centro: las mujeres.
Hilvanando Emociones es una obra en el que se puede observar que el conjunto de trabajos reunidos en esta obra da cuenta de las potencialidades y desafíos aún por abordar desde la óptica de las emociones para la aprehensión y comprensión de lo social en perspectiva situada. Viejos y nuevos temas, todos relacionados y concatenados en torno a las emociones son parte de un modelo de relaciones en que es posible distinguir una lectura política y desde el género, tanto desde la Historia, como de la Literatura y las Ciencias Sociales.
La Constitución es un contrato social que no incluyó a las mujeres y diversidades sexuales. Al pensar una nueva constitución con representatividad, es necesario cuestionar y erradicar estereotipos y sesgos para alcanzar una verdadera igualdad.
Este libro es, fundamentalmente, la voz "prueba" de una enciclopedia. Aunque ésta es la primera publicación del texto, los cinco capítulos del libro tienen la forma, la pretensión y la finalidad originaria de ser una voz de enciclopedia. El lector encontrará sin duda un panorama extraordinariamente rico de los problemas del derecho probatorio, una perspectiva comparatista de esos problemas poco común en la literatura en castellano, así como indicaciones bibliográficas abundantes y, a la vez, cuidadosamente seleccionadas. Además, se han incorporado al libro cinco apéndices que son traducción de sendos artículos del autor, algunos de ellos inéditos en castellano, acerca de problem...
Constituting Equality addresses the question, how would you write a constitution if you really cared about gender equality? The book takes a design-oriented approach to the broad range of issues that arise in constitutional drafting concerning gender equality. Each section of the book examines a particular set of constitutional issues or doctrines across a range of different countries to explore what works, where, and why. Topics include: governmental structure (particularly electoral gender quotas); rights provisions; constitutional recognition of cultural or religious practices that discriminate against women; domestic incorporation of international law; and the role of women in the process of constitution making. Interdisciplinary in orientation and global in scope, the book provides a menu for constitutional designers and others interested in how the fundamental legal order might more effectively promote gender equality.
