This paper argues that son preference resulted in gender-based discriminatory practices that unduly increased mortality rates for females at birth and throughout infancy and childhood in nineteenth-and early-twentieth-century Greece. The relative numbers of boys and girls at birth was extremely high and under-registration of females cannot on its own explain this result. The infanticide and/or mortal neglect of infant girls was therefore more common than previously acknowledged. Likewise, sex ratios increased as children grew older, thus suggesting that parents continued to treat boys and girls differently throughout childhood. A large body of qualitative evidence (contemporary accounts, folklore traditions, feminist newspapers, and anthropological studies) further supports the conclusion that girls were neglected due to their inferior status in society.

“…128 Although Greece in the nineteenth century is frequently referred to as a 'backward' state by nineteenth-century foreigners and twentieth-century Greek scholars, 129 an examination of the legal debates and practices of the first decades of the young Greek state indicates that Greece was engaged in the same debates as many other European states, while showing a remarkable flexibility that allowed a devastated country, with a highly illiterate population, to function more or less effectively. 130 To some degree, the Greek courts functioned in a similar manner to the later Nizamiye courts of the Ottoman Empire that combined French procedural practices with Hanafi Islamic law, 131 bridging familiar law with a novel procedure. Certainly the Greek judicial system managed to ingrain itself in the consciousness of Greeks, who used it extensively despite the novelty of its structure compared to that which they had used for centuries.…”

This paper discusses the legal debates of nineteenth-century Greece and the attempts to produce a legal framework following the establishment of the modern Greek state. These debates had both a practical significance since such a framework was essential for the creation of a modern state, and an ideological one since the chosen framework would be a statement about how the new state perceived itself, its history, and its place in Europe. These questions were particularly relevant in the case of civil law as Greek legal scholars contemplated whether to accept the use of customary law, or to reject it, and if so what laws should replace it. In this paper, I examine this debate within the context of European legal developments and the process of codification undertaken throughout Europe from the late eighteenth to the nineteenth centuries, as well as the ideological and practical implications of the debate. I argue that, despite the belief that the efforts of Greek legal scholars led to the elimination of the use of customary law from the Greek judicial system, my research in the archival material of the Appeals Court of Athens indicates that customary law was still dominant a generation after the establishment of the modern Greek state. I conclude that a re-examination of the role and practices of the Greek courts in the nineteenth century is much needed as their flexibility thirty years after the creation of the Greek state is closer to the legal pluralism of the courts of the Ottoman period than to the model advocated by the contemporary legal scholars who demanded a ‘modern’ judicial system to assist the renaissance of the Greek nation.

“…Siguiendo a autoras como Varikas (2007) o Stoler (2013, es posible sostener que las mujeres han sido históricamente representadas como reproductoras biológicas y simbólicas de la nación, marcadores de la tradición, la naturaleza y el territorio de un pueblo. En esa medida, la demanda de autenticidad develaría su carácter generizado .…”

Este artículo busca caracterizar la producción y puesta en valor de la otredad étnico/racial en el marco del multiculturalismo neoliberal en Chile, a partir de un trabajo teórico en torno a los conceptos de otredad, representación, ambivalencia y autenticidad. Desde esta clave de lectura y a través de metodologías cualitativas, analizaremos tres ejemplos concretos enmarcados en investigaciones en curso: las etnoempresas, el trabajo doméstico y los cuerpos-alegóricos de la tradición. El principal resultado del análisis es que las demandas de autenticidad precibidas por los sujetos marcados como Otros en Chile develan una exigencia de actuar correctamente un papel, que ¾aunque estereotipado¾ puede o no ser reapropiado por los Otros. Nuestra propuesta concluye enunciando una tesis: las demandas de autenticidad constituirían una configuración contemporánea del racismo en Chile.
