“…Moreover, she conceded that claims to recognition can be formulated in ways that include demands for redistribution (Fraser, 2003). N Barker (2012: 193) goes further, when she argues in her analysis of the debates on same-sex marriage that the ‘law uses recognition and non-recognition to control access to economic resources’.…”

“…As I have already shown, if people wish to claim rights, they must fit the categories of the law. This opens up the scope for surveillance and regulation, imposing conformity on those who seek recognition through the law (N Barker, 2012; Smart, 1989). The second fallacy consists in the allure of assimilationism.…”

Polyamory: Intimate practice, identity or sexual orientation?

Polyamory means different things to different people. While some consider polyamory to be nothing more than a convenient label for their current relationship constellations or a handy tool for communicating their willingness to enter more than one relationship at a time, others claim it as one of their core identities. Essentialist identity narratives have sustained recent arguments that polyamory is best understood as a sexual orientation and is as such comparable with homosexuality, heterosexuality or bisexuality. Such a move would render polyamory intelligible within dominant political and legal frameworks of sexual diversity. The article surveys academic and activist discussions on sexual orientation and traces contradictory voices in current debates on polyamory. The author draws on poststructuralist ideas to show the shortcomings of sexual orientation discourses and highlights the losses which are likely to follow from pragmatic definitions of polyamory as sexual orientation.

“…Desde la academia legal de Estados Unidos, Canadá y Gran Bretaña, una segunda crítica ha querido desmantelar los presupuestos heteronormativos del matrimonio civil (Crossman 2005;Rosenbury 2007;Polikoff 2008;Barker 2012;Boyd 2013;Brake 2014). En este debate, una cuestión central ha sido recuperar la crítica feminista interseccional y denunciar la posición de privilegio racial, de clase y de género de quienes abogan por la aprobación de la unión civil y matrimonio igualitario.…”

En abril del año 2015 se promulgó la ley que creó el acuerdo de unión civil en Chile. Este artículo investiga las principales ideas discutidas en el debate legislativo y del rol que cumplieron profesores de derecho de familia invitados como expertos al mismo. Proponemos que la participación de estos abogados fue marginal dentro y fuera del Congreso. Como consecuencia, la ley que creó el acuerdo de unión civil presentó serias falencias. En este artículo proponemos considerar las batallas intra-profesionales por el reconocimiento de un saber experto, como un factor clave en la formulación de políticas en materia de género y sexualidad. Y de paso, esperamos abrir un debate desde una perspectiva interdisciplinaria que reimagine al derecho de familia desanclado de relaciones diádicas, centradas en la atracción sexual y orientadas a la procreación.

“…This is not at all certain. For example, while access to marriage and matrimonial benefits may be viewed as favourable treatment, marriage has been viewed as a heteronormative and gendered institution that exacerbates inequalities (Barker, 2012).…”

“…515-516;Tribe, 2015, p. 31). The judgment certainly does not address the longstanding feminist and queer critique according to which marriage is a heteronormative and gendered institution that does not advance gender equality (Mulder, 2012;Aloni, 2016;Barker, 2012). A dignity-centred approach can thus perpetuate stigmatisation and limit the transformative potential of non-discrimination law.…”

Dignity or discrimination: what paves the road towards equal recognition of same-sex couples in the European Union?

The article analyses possibilities for the Court of Justice of the EU to go beyond its current narrow approach towards same-sex couples' rights within the EU non-discrimination law framework, considering comparative treatment of dignity-based argument and the alternative concept of indirect discrimination. It critically reviews the CJEU's current approach exclusively focusing on direct discrimination and the comparator paradigm. By doing so, the Court has tolerated a situation of de facto discrimination and limited advancement of same-sex rights. The question is then whether the situation could be overcome if the CJEU would follow other courts and develop reasoning based on dignity to underpin the EU non-discrimination analysis with substantive meaning. The article rejects this proposition. Dignity is not suitable because it is both too wide and to narrow to ensure certainty and substantive protection within EU non-discrimination law. While the concept of dignity protects a minimum standard and can provide a floor of rights, non-discrimination law fosters equality by imposing procedural standards and challenging measures that effect groups differently. The concepts should thus not be conflated. Instead, a consistent and application of the concept of direct and indirect discrimination seems to more promising.
