La historia del Derecho en Argentina o la Historia Jurídica como proceso

Se analiza la configuración del campo analítico representado por la Historia del Derecho en perspectiva institucional y espistemológica, mediante el estudio de los dos núcleos hegemónicos de jushistoriadores de España y Argentina que plasmaron sus propuestas en 1910 con ocasión de los festejos del Centenario. Se discute cómo esta línea de investigación logró ocupar un lugar hegemónico en la primera mitad del siglo y se desarrollan algunos problemas condiderados centrales por las disciplinas: sus postulados sobre la historicidad del Derecho, el uso de los conceptos fuente y sistema jurídico, sus debates en torno al status académico de los jushistoriadores, y los paradigmas más significativos de la Historia del Derecho indiano.

La desigualdad en el consumo familiar. Diferencias de género en la España contemporánea (1850-1930)

In the last few years, Economic Theory has revised two basic ideas around the economics of the household: that family income is the result of the individual income of each of its members (income pooling), and that all family members living in the household have equal access to its resources. Unequal access to family resources (among women and men, on the one hand, and among the elderly, adults and children, on the other), is now understood as an input (for instance, that women eat less food and of worst quality than men), and as an output (for instance that women have poorer health, higher epidemic mortality, or are less tall than men as a result, among other things, of having received less food and poorer medical care, and/or of a heavier workload). Despite the fact that inequality in intra‐family consumption has become the center of attention in academic and international agencies, it can still not be found in the agenda of Economic History. In this paper we look at some of the resources consumed by Spanish families in the 19th century: food, alcoholic beverages, clothes and shoes. Medical topographies, our main source, suggest that unequal access to family resources among household members had a strong impact on their health and wellbeing.
