This chapter presents a controversial issue within the history of sexuality. It documents several case studies of sex work done within home-based brothels, where mothers, sisters, and father figures procured younger women and children. These examples would be interpreted today as sexual abuse, given that they involved girls under the age of sixteen, forced or manipulated into prostitution by more powerful individuals. The chapter tries to contextualize these cases within the contemporary domestic economy and culture of family life during the struggle for Mexican independence from Spain.Young women in fact betrayed filial loyalty and domestic hierarchies when they spoke as plaintiffs to denounce their sisters, mothers, or fathers for involving them in selling sex.In response to the complaints (the daughters’ disobedience to their familial superiors), the late viceregal state exercised paternalism as it stepped in to preserve traditional ideas of family as a sexual sanctuary for protected daughters.

ABSTRACT Some difficulties may arise during the divorce process, taking the family into “destructive divorce”. In such cases, some authors can see the rising of Parental Alienation (PA). This article aims to criticize PA, reflecting about the Family Life Cycle and divorce. Regarding this, a qualitative study was conducted with legal actors (judges, prosecutors, psychologists, social workers, lawyers) on the issues of divorce and PA and the results were built using the conceptions of Zones of Sense by Gonzalez Rey. The summary results are: (a) PA does not contextualize the conflict; (b) it does not consider the history of the relationships; (c) it pathologizes, medicates and criminalizes the phenomena of post-divorce and (d) PA underestimates the child in the conflict.

A few years before his death, Heinrich Kayser was persuaded by some of his friends to write down his memoirs. He prepared a manuscript of 342 pages which was never published. The present history of his life is based largely on this autobiography. Heinrich Kayser was born at Bingen on the Rhine on 16 March 1853. His great-grandfather, Johann Jacob Kayser, coming from peasant stock in East Prussia, was the first to change to an academic profession. He was parson, land surveyor, and philosopher who applied unsuccessfully for the professorship at the University of Königsberg which was later occupied by Immanuel Kant. Kayser’s grandfather, August Immanuel Kayser, was a prominent lawyer in Königsberg who acquired a large feudal estate (Friedrichsberg). His father, Johann Jacob Heinrich Kayser, was prevented from completing his studies of law by a serious disease of his eyes and took over the estate of his father, spending much of his time travelling all over Europe. Kayser’s mother, Dorothea Amélia von Metz, was the daughter of a Russian army officer, a refugee from the French revolution. The parents were married in Moscow (1843) and after a few years at Königsberg moved to Bingen where Heinrich Kayser was born as the youngest of a family of five. Since the family moved several times, Kayser’s education in his younger years was somewhat irregular. During several years his father gave him instruction in Latin, Greek, mathematics and history. He finished his schooling at the Sophiengymnasium in Berlin in 1872.

“Memories of Russian officers as a source on the history of Russian-Turkish war of 1828–1829. (On an example of A.I. Mikhailovsky-Danilevsky and F.F. Tornau)”. In the article is made a comparative analysis of the memoirs of officers of various links of the Russian army on the Russian-Turkish war of 1828-1829. A.I. Mikhailovsky-Danilevsky had little personal experience of participation in the immediate life of troops in a campaign in 1829. Therefore his generalizing opinion, as a manager, paradoxically combined with the low informativeness. F.F. Tornau has passed campaign in 1829 at the lowest officer posts of the General Staff. Therefore, his memories more deeply and versatile. Informative component of sources is divided us into four blocks. A significant place in the memoirs is given to life of the rearward and the army. However, it is mainly the life of the officers. Soldier's everyday life in these memoirs practically not displayed.

The article is devoted to the family life of the Poles in Siberia in the second half of the 19th – early 20th century. The relevance of the research topic is due to the weak study of the history of family life of the Poles in pre-revolutionary Siberia, as well as the importance of the family institution in society. The Poles in Siberia were a specific national-confessional group. Their family life was greatly influenced by the formation of the Polish community in the region, as well as local social and demographic characteristics. The aim of this work is to examine the features of formation of family building and family life of poles in Western Siberia in the second half of the 19th – early of the 20th century, given the social circumstances in the region. The methodological basis of the research is the concept of frontier existence of cultures and the theory of modernization. Exiles who came to Siberia for many years tried to live a full life: they got married, children were born and brought up. The difficulties of life in the harsh region, especially significant for exiles, forced them to look for support, first, in family members and relatives, since family cooperation helped them survive. The demographic characteristics of Polish families during this period were significantly specific in contrast to other national groups. The prevalence of mixed marriages of the Poles with representatives of other Christian denominations in post-reform Siberia indicates the intensity of ethno-cultural interactions. In the resulting ethnic-mixed families, in most cases, a combination of elements of the spiritual culture of various peoples of the region was found. At the same time, religious issues usually receded into the background. Children raised in such families perceived a respectful attitude to their parents’ past, to their origin, and national and religious tolerance was developed in family life. Keywords: Siberia, family, the Poles, community, diaspora, demography, everyday life
