Progressivamente, questa idea si è estesa al potere secolare, ai traffici commerciali, allo stato moderno e al capitalismo, contribuendo a delineare l’ordine socio-corporativo odierno, in cui il ruolo delle persone giuridiche è equiparato a quello delle persone fisiche ed è – di fatto – straordinariamente importante. Mediante un approccio inedito, umanistico e visuale, questo volume ripercorre alcune storie di persone giuridiche «capitali»: monasteri, cattedrali, città, compagnie coloniali, business corporations. Tali entità sono state decisive non solo per le vite stesse degli individui che le hanno fondate o condotte, ma hanno caratterizzato in maniera fondamentale e duratura la società contemporanea e, forse, anche il suo futuro.

Questo volume offre un esempio di tale interazione, occupandosi di un topos della letteratura ebraica dell'Europa orientale dei secoli XVIII-XIX: il processo talmudico. I casi letterario-giuridici sono estrapolati, tra l'altro, da un'enigmatica novella di Israel Joshua Singer, dagli arguti racconti di Martin Buber, dalle visionarie leggende di Jirí Langer. I loro contenuti sono analizzati tramite una fedele ricostruzione dei principi e delle regole di diritto in vigore presso le comunità chassidiche dell'epoca. Ne emerge una concezione universale della giustizia che sovrasta le parti in causa dei singoli giudizi, che annoverano uomini comuni, eruditi studiosi della Torah, pii rabbini, anime reincarnate, angeli del cielo, demoni maligni, Dio in persona. Descritta non solo attraverso i codici giuridici, ma anche tramite le pratiche, i luoghi, le paure, i sentimenti, i dubbi dei personaggi del racconto letterario, la giustizia religiosa disvela il suo senso più alto, tramutandosi-d'un tratto-da promessa immaginifica e ideale in rappresentazione vivida e concreta di significati ed esperienze sociali. Biobibliografia dell'autore: Giancarlo Anello (PhD Sapienza, Roma) insegna nel Dipartimento Umanistico, delle Scienze sociali e dell'Impresa Culturale (DUSIC) dell'Università di Parma. I temi della 'Giustizia' e dei 'Diritti religiosi' sono tra i suoi principali interessi di ricerca. È autore di saggi e volumi monografici, tra cui Tradizioni di giustizia e Stato di diritto, Napoli, 2011 e Teologia linguistica e diritto laico, Milano, 2016.
Il pluralismo religioso occupa uno spazio sempre maggiore nel dibattito pubblico istituzionale e ... more Il pluralismo religioso occupa uno spazio sempre maggiore nel dibattito pubblico istituzionale e accademico, in Italia e in Europa. Rispetto a tale dibattito, l’esperienza coloniale è di rado evocata. Eppure il colonialismo, nel suo precipitato storico e normativo, ha conosciuto a fondo il tema della regolamentazione tra diverse appartenenze religiose, generando specifici ambiti di riflessione, come - in Italia - il diritto ecclesiastico coloniale. In questa prospettiva, l’itinerario percorso dai giuristi d’oltremare non rappresenta una vicenda lontana e definitivamente chiusa ma risuona di dubbi e di domande che anticipano fatalmente i problemi dell’oggi. Riportare in luce il rapporto tra diritto e religione nelle colonie restituisce le radici di un’esperienza che, seppure criticabile e negletta, continua a riemergere nell’articolata dialettica antropologica tra identità e diversità religiosa, attraverso la mediazione del principio di libertà religiosa. Studiare il rapporto tra esigenze di governo e religioni coloniali può oggi servire sia a riconoscere nuove forme di paternalismo culturale e giuridico, sia a ipotizzare strategie di protezione della libertà confessionale, in senso pluralista e democratico, alla luce dell’attività giuridica praticata sul campo e riletta dalla storia.

Le matrici linguistiche delle rivelazioni religiose rappresentano il nucleo di senso e di valore dei sistemi di diritto religiosi. Simili premesse teoriche costituiscono l’oggetto di questo volume, le cui indagini si dipanano lungo quattro direttrici: la prima segue lo studio fenomenologico della religione, quale metodo scientifico utile ad ampliare le potenzialità pluralistiche della libertà religiosa, in una società multiculturale. La seconda affronta una digressione storiografica nell’ambito del diritto coloniale europeo, volta alla rilettura delle norme in materia di diritti linguistici, soggettività giuridica e statuti personali. La terza si concentra sull’uso rituale delle lingue e sui condizionamenti che tali vincoli comportano sulle istanze di riconoscimento dei diritti umani. Il quarto si occupa di formulare un’ipotesi di riconcettualizzazione – in senso cosmopolita – della soggettività giuridica al cospetto di un diritto laico in via globale di trasformazione.
"Cultural diversity requires new forms of legal equality and traditions of justice are the main k... more "Cultural diversity requires new forms of legal equality and traditions of justice are the main keys of understanding the demands of recognition that rise from the cultural communities in Europe. In the opening section, the book deals with the issue of epistemic links between law, religion and cultures. The following two parts develop a rigorous analysis of the religious traditions of justice by an interdisciplinary approach to comparative law and anthropology, reconstructing the matrix of meaning, the distinctive processes and the legal projections, in historical contexts characterized by the encounter (or the clash) of religious communities within their own cultural backgrounds. The final outcome, however, is addressed in the present tense: it involves a huge reflection on the cultural fragmentation of processes of social justice, on developing of multicultural jurisdictions, on the risks of a spiral of juridical differentiations for contemporary democracies. The intent is to trace the source of a unitary sense of justice that underpins the religious traditions in order to reconstruct, in the kaleidoscope of political European pluralism, all the fronts opened by the struggles and claims of cultural communities of the continent.

Abstract.
The legal systems of Western countries are currently involved in continuous and deep changes. In these processes, the different cultural traditions that liven the European public sphere play a leading role. Their presence estends and enhances the boundaries and the problems of pluralism, demanding an adjustment in a multicultural direction. Within this process, the interpretation of article 8, para 2 of the Italian Constitution here suggested, may guarantee a liberal juridical approach to manage the relationships between some cultural “new diversities” living together within the democratic framework.
Chapter 1 – Guidelines of interpretation of article 8, para 2 of the Italian Constitution.
Chapter 2 – Description of religious fenomenology in the public law norms.
Chapter 3 – Suggesting a new definition of the “confessione religiosa”-category according to its organizational function.
Chapter 4 – The legal status of organization in religious denominations.
Chapter 5 – Legal religious traditions, organizational practices and their compatibility with italian public law.
Chapter 6 – Definition of the “limit of compliance” in the italian public law.

In the Muslim legal culture there are many ways to balance the sharaitic tradition with the claims of innovation coming out from the contemporary society. In this context, the Moroccan mudawwanah of 2004 represents an interlegal step forward in the direction of improving the human liberties, equalizing the role of women in the Moroccan society, starting from their legal status in the law of the land. In the essay they are developed some key-points of the reform: the right of women to choose freely to marriage, to negotiate their condition in marriage’s contract and to solve it, according the norms of religious and public Law. Moreover it deals with the juridical Islamic argument of ijtihad (trans. “closure of the door of legal interpretation”), in the contemporary perspectives of reform in Muslim world.

It has happened in Canada and in Britain in relation to the claims of some muslim association to adopt particular rules of the Islamic Law in alternative dispute resolution. We may wonder whether this kind of accomodation strategy might be considered as contingent or it is a consequences of the particular nature of the claims, namely religious and cultural-specific ones.

Le questioni linguistiche, in generale, possono fondarsi sulle prescrizioni delle carte costituzionali o internazionali, ma nel ragionare su di esse si deve dare conto che le lingue sono sempre qualcosa di più di un mero strumento di comunicazione. Esse costituiscono un marcatore dell'identità individuale e collettiva e, attraverso la loro pragmatica, si configurano come vere e proprie istituzioni culturali. Inoltre, le leggi linguistiche e le norme giuridiche raramente vanno di pari passo. Le lingue non rispettano i confini territoriali di uno Stato; non si fermano alle frontiere, ma le attraversano in modo immateriale, anche senza essere portate dalle persone che le parlano. Sebbene, in condizioni di isolamento, lingue differenti possano convivere le une accanto alle altre per secoli, nel caso di circolazione di persone, scambi commerciali o lavorativi, di rapporti familiari tra gruppi linguistici diversi le lingue più "deboli" saranno lentamente ma inesorabilmente soppiantate da quelle più "forti", ovvero quelle che le persone hanno più incentivo a parlare o opportunità ad imparare a causa del loro maggiore prestigio o della loro più ampia diffusione.

This paper will discuss and critique the mid-20th century works of theorists of the Muslim Revolution like Abbas Mahmud 'Aqqad (author of al-dymuqratyah fy alislam, Democracy in Islam) and Sayyid Qutb (author of al-'adalah al-ijtima'iyya fy alislam, Social Justice in Islam) in order to shape the discourse about the relevance of their theories of democracy, justice and equality for today's political movements

This paper lays down some simple methodological guidelines for the assessment and classification of these rights by recently established minority religious groups in Europe, especially Islamic groups in Italy, within a democratic and pluralist polity.
It is divided into two sections. The first concerns the definition and interpretation of “culture” as a legal good, as depicted from many kinds of international and constitutional provisions on the subject.
The second deals with language rights of Muslim communities in the Italian legal system.
