Full textAbstract:
Colonial concubinage in Ethiopia during the Italian occupation (1936–1941) has not been deeply studied yet. This article explores the peculiarities of the so-called madamato – that was banned under Fascism in 1937 but developed despite the racist legislation – by firstly comparing its practices in Ethiopia with that which took place from the late Nineteenth century in Eritrea. Indeed, on the Eritrean case a small body of significant literature already exists. In addition, by relying on both written and oral sources, this article highlights the relevance of local agency, the influence of “traditional” customs and religion, and the role played by Ethiopian women in the impact of and the shape taken by colonial concubinage in Ethiopia. It also points out some continuity between the colonial and post-colonial periods (in terms of social behaviors) and the complex roles played in local societies by Ethiopian-Italians and Eritrean-Italians (including the offspring of relationships based on concubinage). Furthermore, this article highlights that gender relations in the region during Italian rule were also affected by the fact that Italian colonialism in the Horn of Africa influenced to some extent the construction of Italian national identity and self-representation.

Full textAbstract:
The study of non-Muslims in Islamic societies has long been a robust subfield in the historiography of the medieval Middle East. But its literature has blind spots, a significant example of which concerns slavery as a constitutive institution of non-Muslim communities. Much recent scholarship on medieval non-Muslims has tended to privilege religious affiliation as an explanatory category of social experience, leaving other legal statuses and modes of identification—especially slavery—underanalyzed. This piece will survey this historiographical hole. It will then offer a brief analysis of some Abbasid-era Syriac Christian material in which slavery figures prominently, concubines and concubinage in particular. My goal is to provide an example of how attending to the place of slavery in non-Muslim communities facilitates a much-needed historiographical shift of focus from reified religious identities to the social practices, institutions, and hierarchies upon which those communities were built.

Full textAbstract:
What we know of citizenship, marriage and political status in Athens in the fourth century suggests that they were matters of no little public concern governed by a body of law which left few, if any, significant loopholes or anomalies. The ‘descent group’ criterion for citizenship had triumphed over the possible alternatives. The fundament of the system was the Periklean law (or laws) of 451/0, re-enacted in 403/2, and prescribing double endogamy — that is, citizen birth through both parents — as the normal qualification for a citizen (astos). Whether this fifth-century legislation declared mixed marriages (astos with xene, xenos with aste) positively invalid or merely deterred them indirectly, through the disabilities falling upon the children, remains unclear. It is certain, however, that by the time [Demosthenes] 59 was delivered, in the 340s, both the parties to and the accessories in such marriages were breaking the law. ‘At that time an alien who joined the oikos of a citizen as husband or wife (the word synoikein implies a purported marriage, not mere concubinage) could be prosecuted by graphe and, if found guilty, was sold as a slave; the citizen man who thus received an alien woman into his oikos as his wife was fined 1000 drachmas. A man who, acting as her kyrios, gave an alien woman to a citizen for marriage could also be prosecuted by graphe, and if he was found guilty he was disfranchised and his property was confiscated’.

Full textAbstract:
The problem of the relation between the female gender and Confucian humanism is far more complex than it seems to be on the first glance. Especially if we consider the many misogynistic phenomena we can encounter in the course of Chinese history, such as foot-binding or the concubinage, we might be inclined to think that female philosophy was impossible in traditional China. This paper aims to challenge the standard views on this problem. It aims to shed some light on the fact that in this context we have to differentiate between classical teachings that were relatively egalitarian in nature, and later ideologies that more or less openly promoted the inferior position of women in society. The paper will analyse the work of the female Han dynasty scholar Ban Zhao (45–117 CE), who was the first well-known female thinker in the history of Chinese philosophy. Through this analysis, the author also aims to expose the contradiction between dominant conventions on the one hand, and latent, often hidden criticism of gender relations in female writings of traditional China on the other. In this way, the paper aims to promote a more culturally sensitive approach to the historical and conceptual study of gender discourses in China by connecting textual analyses with actual and comprehensive knowledge of the historical and social contexts in which they were placed.

Full textAbstract:
This study discusses the role of the concubine in selected traditional Malay literature, specifically Sulalatus Salatin , Hikayat Raja- raja Pasai and Hikayat Patani , as these three works highlight several episodes that involve concubines, compared to other historiographical literary works. The objective of this study is to focus on concubine characters, which are seldom given attention or considered insignificant even though they have left a definite impact in specific situations. The concubine character will be discussed in terms of her power and role in the palace of the olden days. The study will also apply the theory of power as propounded by Lukes (1977) in analysing the role and concept of the concubine as put forth by Ismail Azman (2009). The significance of this study is the focus on the concubine character, which has been overlooked in favour of other main characters such as the king, the queen and the high official, among others. The concubine character in fact has her own standing, to the extent of impacting a particular government or state. Keywords: Concubine, role and power, traditional Malay literature Abstrak Kajian ini membincangkan watak gundik dalam karya kesusasteraan Melayu tradisional terpilih dengan merujuk beberapa buah teks historiografi, iaitu Sulalatus Salatin , Hikayat Raja-raja Pasai dan Hikayat Patani , ketiga-tiga teks ini dipilih kerana lebih menonjolkan beberapa peristiwa yang melibatkan gundik berbanding teks-teks historiografi yang lain. Objektif kajian adalah untuk mengetengahkan watak yang jarang diberikan perhatian dan dianggap kecil tetapi mampu memberikan impak tertentu dalam keadaan tertentu. Watak gundik ini akan dibincangkan melalui aspek kekuasaan dan peranannya dalam istana silam. Kajian ini juga akan menggunakan teori kuasa yang dikemukakan oleh Lukes (1977) yang akan dianalisis dengan melihat peranan gundik serta konsep gundik yang dikemukakan oleh Ismail Azman (2009). Kesignifikanan kajian ini mempamerkan satu aspek, iaitu watak yang kadangkala kelihatan tidak penting daripada watak utama yang lain seperti raja, permaisuri, pembesar dan sebagainya. Watak gundik ini mempunyai kedudukan tersendiri dan juga mampu memainkan peranan penting sehingga memberikan kesan kepada sesuatu pemerintahan. Kata kunci: Gundik, peranan dan kekuasaan, sastera Melayu tradisional

Full textAbstract:
This book contains an analysis of the experience of married life by men and women in Christian medieval Europe c. 900–1300. The focus will be on the social and emotional life of the married couple rather than on the institutional history of marriage. The book consists of three parts: the first part (Getting Married) is devoted to the process of getting married and wedding celebrations, the second part (Married Life) discusses the married life of lay couples and clergy, their sexuality, and any remarriage, while the third part (Alternative Living) explores concubinage and polygyny as well as the single life in contrast to monogamous sexual unions. Four main themes are central to the book. First, the tension between patriarchal family strategies and the individual family member’s freedom of choice to marry and, if so, to what partner; second, the role played by the married priesthood in their quest to have individual agency and self-determination accepted in their own lives in the face of the growing imposition of clerical celibacy; third, the role played by women in helping society accept some degree of gender equality and self-determination to marry and in shaping the norms for married life incorporating these principles; fourth, the role played by emotion in the establishment of marriage and in married life at a time when sexual and spiritual love feature prominently in medieval literature.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores representation of Saigon as a colonial and colonised ‘decadentscape’ and ‘heterotopia’ in three fin-de-siècle French texts by Claude Farrère (1876-1957) and Myriam Harry (1869-1958). It argues that Decadence, while abetting colonialism, nevertheless allows for an unexpectedly ambiguous articulation of colonial experiences through intercultural contact. In examining the interplay between fin-de-siècle decadent sexuality and French colonial discourse, I focus on three configurations of border crossing and boundary transgression that structure interracial interactions in Saigon, at a time when fixing and maintaining boundaries was crucial to the transition of French Indochina into bourgeois rule. These are the native concubine or congai, the mimic femme fatale, and the homosexual. The trope of decadent Saigon deployed in these texts while reproducing pro-colonial attitudes and categories politicizes Decadence by inscribing it back into its historical contingency, revealing the ambiguity of the real and imagined everyday Franco-Indochinese contact. I propose the term ‘colonial Decadence’, characterised by the inherent oppositional potential of Decadence to disrupt the colonialist narrative, to signify this political dynamic that lies at the heart of Decadence in the colonial context.
