Debating the Law, Creating Gender
In Palestine, family law is a controversial topic publicly debated by representatives of the state, Sharia establishment, and civil society. Yet to date no such law exists. This book endeavors to determine why by focusing on the conceptualization of gender and analyzing “law in the making” and the shifts in debates (2012–2018). In 2012, a ruling on khulʿ-divorce was issued by the Sharia Court and was well received by civil society, but when the debate shifted in 2018 to how to “harmonize” international law with Islamic standards, the process came to a standstill. These developments and the various power relations cannot be properly understood without taking into consideration the terminology used and redefined in these debates.
Religious Othering
Perhaps the most disturbing feature of globalization is the emergence of a new tribalism, an attitude expressed in the common phrase, “thank God we’re not like them.” Religious Othering: Global Dimensions explores this political and religious phenomenon. Why are these new xenophobic movements erupting around the world at this moment in history, and what are the features of religious identity that seem to appeal to them? How do we make sense of the strident forms of religious exclusion that have been a part of the past and re-emerged around the world in recent years? This book brings together research scholars from different fields who have had to answer these questions in their own gro...
My Language Is a Jealous Lover
Many great writers have been fluent in multiple languages but have never been able to escape their mother tongue. Yet if a native language feels like home, an adopted language sometimes offers a hospitality one cannot find elsewhere. My Language Is a Jealous Lover explores the plights and successes of authors who lived and wrote in languages other than their mother tongue, from Samuel Beckett and Vladimir Nabokov to Ágota Kristóf and Joseph Brodsky. Author Adrián N. Bravi weaves their stories in with his own experiences as an Argentinian-Italian, thinking and writing in the language of his new life while recalling that of his childhood. Bravi bears witness to the frustrations, the soul-searching, the pain, and the joys of embracing another language.
Peace and Reconciliation in International and Islamic Law
In an age where the global rules-based world order faces significant challenges to maintaining peace and stability—with world superpowers jockeying to preserve their influence across multiple theatres of conflict—this book explores the major international laws and treaties governing the process of peace and reconciliation. Focusing on the conflicts in Afghanistan, Palestine-Israel and Kashmir, it examines and analyses these conflicts through the prism of international law, humanitarian norms, treaties, and conventions, interspersed with insights from the Islamic legal tradition. An innovative approach to the problem of conflict resolution is applied by a) reviewing the jurisprudential so...

Piccolo Lessico del Grande Esodo
Un vocabolario della crisi migrante attraverso ottanta lemmi che mettono in relazione la migrazione economica e quella dei rifugiati politici, la Storia e le storie delle persone. Il Piccolo Lessico esplora l'impatto e le sfide psicopolitiche poste dal fenomeno ma anche le dinamiche e le procedure con cui l'Europa e l'Italia affrontano l'emergenza: gli hotspot, la regolamentazione delle frontiere, i trattati internazionali, le politiche sull'accoglienza e la cittadinanza. Uno strumento di consultazione e di riflessione agile per chi è interessato a comprendere uno dei fenomeni cruciali della contemporaneità.
Sex and Desire in Muslim Cultures
What have different ideas about sex and gender meant for people throughout the history of the Middle East and North Africa? This book traces sex and desire in Muslim cultures through a collection of chapters that span the 9th to 21st centuries. Looking at spaces and periods where sexual norms and the categories underpinning them emerge out of multiple subjectivities, the book shows how people constantly negotiate the formulation of norms, their boundaries and their subversion. It demonstrates that the cultural and political meanings of sexualities in Muslim cultures - as elsewhere – emerge from very specific social and historical contexts. The first part of the book examines how people con...
Lingue migranti e nuovi paesaggi
Il presente volume, che inaugura la collana Lingue Culture Mediazioni promossa dal Dipartimento di Scienze della Mediazione linguistica e di Studi interculturali (SMELSI), ospita una selezione dei contributi presentati in occasione del convegno omonimo, svoltosi il 22 e il 23 novembre 2012. La definizione di ‘Atti di convegno’, tuttavia, mal si adatta a questa raccolta di studi, che non si limita a trasferire gli interventi orali nella pagina scritta, bensì sviluppa ulteriori percorsi di studio e riflessione attraverso un approccio interdisciplinare adottato fin dalla progettazione dell’evento. Questa pluralità di sguardi, essenziale per lo studio di un fenomeno così complesso come ...
Religion und Geschlecht
Religion und Geschlecht sind eng miteinander verflochten: Religiöse Traditionen, Anschauungen, Symbole und Praktiken sind geschlechtsspezifisch geprä> Geschlechterrollen, Stereotype und Ideale werden religiös untermauert und sanktioniert. Nicht nur religiöse Traditionen selbst, sondern auch die Erforschung und Darstellung von Religionen sind überwiegend durch androzentrische Perspektiven gekennzeichnet. Gegenstand dieser Einführung sind ein Überblick zu den methodologischen und theoretischen Grundlagen der religionswissenschaftlichen Geschlechterforschung sowie eine Revision religionsgeschichtlicher Daten und Perspektiven auf der Basis umfangreicher Forschungsergebnisse. Darüber hina...
Muslim Women and Gender Justice
This volume brings together the work of a group of Islamic studies scholars from across the globe. They discuss how past and present Muslim women have participated in the struggle for gender justice in Muslim communities and around the world. The essays demonstrate a diversity of methodological approaches, religious and secular sources, and theoretical frameworks for understanding Muslim negotiations of gender norms and practices. Part I (Concepts) puts into conversation women scholars who define Muslima theology and Islamic feminism vis-à-vis secular notions of gender diversity and discuss the deployment of the oppression of Muslim women as a hegemonic imperialist strategy. The chapters in...
