"For beyond this trading community lies family life" : filiation et écriture dans Crossing the River
2016
This paper examines the relationship between filiation, affiliation and writing in Crossing the River. First, it examines the diversity of literary genres incorporated, revisited and juxtaposed in a novel often defined by its polyphonic structure. This analysis leads to a study of the ways in which family ties, and particularly the links between parents and children, are staged in the text through a complex pattern of repetitions and inversions. The echoes which connect, and sometimes oppose, the various parts of the novel suggest that repetition and inversion are the tools through which family identity is constructed throughout the novel. The reason behind these textual strategies may also…

<p>Este artículo crítica el fenómeno de la inmigración infantil como crimen moderno contra la humanidad, un problema que paradójicamente se incrementa con los años. La gravedad de esta situación es sin duda todavía más acuciante cuando este tipo de esclavitud y este tráfico humano afectan al menor y se convierte en explotación infantil.</p><p>This article criticizes the phenomenon of child migration as a modern crime against humanity, a problem that paradoxically increases over the years. The seriousness of this situation is undoubtedly even more pressing when this type of slavery and this human trafficking affects the child and becomes child exploitation.<br /><b…
Le combat de Victor Schoelcher contre la légalité de l'esclavage : l'abolition de 1848
2009
How has the French State been able to maintain slavery for more than fifty years after the Déclaration des droits de l'homme et du citoyen of 1789? The slave was considered, in a legal scope, not as a person but as a « movable », he was considered as an object that could be bought, sold, mutilated and tortured! Abolished for the first time in 1794, reinstated in 1802 by Napoleon Bonaparte, slavery would definitively disappear in France only in 1848, thanks to Victor Schoelcher's (1804-1893) decisive action. This great humanist, by a tireless fight, managed to impose an immediate abolition – and not a progressive one as in Britain – showing that if this institution was certainly legal, it wa…
Victor Schoelcher, abolitionniste et républicain : approche juridique et politique de l'oeuvre d'un fondateur de la République
2000
The aim of this judicial and political analysis is to reveal Victor Schoelcher's decisive influence in the fight for equal rights and for the republic, in the French mainland as well as in its colonies. His well known fight against slavery was just a part of his humanist defense of the republican principles : Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. Schoelcher truly was a founder of the republic, taking part in the barricade insurrections against the 1851 coup and fighting against any kind of slavery or absolutism. His work addressed many aspects of our society, among which : - Slavery and the colonies (legal status of slaves, emancipated slaves and of the colonies) - Rights and liberties of men and …
L'abolitionnisme de Victor Schoelcher, un humanisme mâtiné de colonialisme et de moralisme
1999
Although this title might be somewhat provocative, there is no intent to be anti-schoelcherist. The aim is not to diminish Victor Schoelcher's considerable achievements, but to fight against the unanimous preconceptions that have transformed this man into a myth. By studying the legal and political consequences of his proposals and his engagements, we have underlined not only the extent and complexity of his work for the Republic - that has been little known up to now, though Schoelcher ought to be considered to be one of the fathers of the Republic - but his contradictions too. Schoelcher was so sure of the virtues of the republican values of the mother country, that his fight, albeit huma…

Los crímenes sexuales en la jurisprudencia internacional
2012
La jurisprudencia de los Tribunales internacionales para la antigua Yugoslavia y para Ruanda determinó que por primera vez el Estatuto de la Corte Penal Internacional tipificase con carácter autónomo diversos crímenes internacionales de naturaleza sexual. En la actualidad, cuatro tribunales internacionales ya se han pronunciado sobre los elementos constitutivos de tres de estos crímenes sexuales, en concreto, la violación, la esclavitud sexual y la violencia sexual. Al estudio de esta jurisprudencia se dedica este trabajo. ABSTRACT: The jurisprudence of the International Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda determined that, for the first time, the Statute of the International Crim…
Between romanticism, anti-slavery and spirituality: The transcultural feminist echoes of Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda’s Sab in Hannah Crafts’s The B…
2017
El siguiente artículo se centra en las novelas Sab (1841) de la escritora cubana Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda y en la recientemente descubierta novela The Bondwoman’s Narrative (1857) de la esclava afroamericana Hannah Crafts pues ambas son excelsas en el manejo de una serie de recursos románticos y góticos que encuadran las historias en un contexto decimonónico específicamente femenino. El poder de la pasión, el desbordante y sugestivo marco natural que abriga o arrumba el destino de los personajes y la exaltación de los sentimientos como paradigma epistemológico son los rasgos que las autoras desarrollan siguiendo los cánones establecidos de la época. A través de una intertextualidad tra…
Una teoría de la justicia: Nietzsche contra la dignidad humana como fundamento de la comunidad política
2011
La moderna sociedad burguesa contiene para Nietzsche elementos que amenazan con provocar una reordenación total de la política y la sociedad en sentido igualitario. Con el objetivo de contribuir a frustrar el desarrollo de la cultura alemana en esa dirección -y basándose en su reconstrucción personal de la metafísica de Schopenhauer- expone la necesidad de someter políticamente a la mayoría de los seres humanos en favor de unos pocos liberados de la lucha por la existencia, así como de configurar el Estado de manera militarista. El fin de esta utopía consiste en llegar a hacer posible, entre algunos escogidos, una forma de vida en la cual no impere ya la racionalidad instrumental. ABSTRACT.…
Les débats devant la commission d'esclavage
2010
On March 4, 1848, thanks to the decisive impetus given by Victor Schoelcher, the principle of the abolition of slavery was proclaimed by decree and a « Commission for the preparation of an act of immediate emancipation in all the colonies of the Republic » was established. Like the commission de Broglie under the July Monarchy, the commission, chaired by Schoelcher, provided a huge work of documentation, information and reflection on the settlements, studying also the organization of the English colonies. However, unlike the previous one, the commission of 1848 required the immediate abolition of slavery (Decree of April 27, 1848), without waiting for the election of the National Assembly, …
