Deberes conyugales. Consecuencias jurídicas de su incumplimiento

Históricamente se le ha negado el carácter de auténticos deberes jurídicos a esos que constituyen el contenido personal de la relación jurídica conyugal por tratarse de preceptos más cercanos a la ética y a líneas de comportamiento que han de regir las relaciones entre cónyuges.  Pero, que ciertamente no pueda reclamarse y conseguirse su cumplimiento forzoso, no significa que la violación de los mismos no pueda generar determinadas consecuencias jurídicas. Es decir, una cosa es que no se pueda compeler forzosamente a su cumplimiento y otra que su incumplimiento no genere consecuencia alguna especialmente en los casos en que involucre hechos de violencia de género como expresión suprema del incumplimiento del deber de respeto. Se abre el debate a la cuestión de la pertinencia o no de responsabilidad en el ámbito familiar que queda muchas veces oculta bajo la persistencia de reglas ajenas a lo jurídico o restricciones del sistema dejando el espacio libre a la inmunidad de los miembros del grupo familiar y se ofrecen propuesta de sus efectos sobre los derechos sucesorios de los cónyuges, sobre la patria potestad de los hijos comunes y sobre el régimen económico del matrimonio

Life writing, gender and Caribbean narrative 1970-2015: itinerant self-making in the postcolonial Caribbean

This chapter argues that contemporary Caribbean women exploit the malleability of life-writing as a genre in a variety of ways that recognize the precariousness of life-making and self-making in the post-plantation Caribbean. While each of the writers discussed here critically refashions life-narrative for their own distinct purposes, they frequently share an interest in filtering personal life experiences through familiar familial and regional histories to emphasize the imbrication of the personal and political. Narrating life-stories is presented in these texts as inextricably linked to the difficult cultural politics of self-making that is so powerfully evidenced from The History of Mary Prince through to the present. While life-writing remains haunted by the region’s violent history, Caribbean women writers continue to excavate that history in order to record, affirm, rescue, restore and celebrate self and life-making possibilities, however fragmented, precarious or itinerant

The Caribbean and Britain

Although characterized by generational shifts in terms of articulating cultural affiliations and attachments to both the Caribbean and Britain, Caribbean British writing remains deeply marked by issues of un/belonging. This essay explores this embedded thematic across changing political contexts and reads the transitions in Caribbean British literature that have brought different revisionary perspectives on literary forms and languages, post-Windrush British history and the much deeper historical connections between the Caribbean presence and the UK. As well as contesting racism, these works articulate intersectional identities informed by class, gender and sexuality as it is experienced within and across the UK and the Caribbean. Given that contemporary Caribbean British literature is very much connected with Caribbean literature and that of the larger diaspora, this essay considers the modes of critical attention necessary to engage with its new forms and platforms
