Irrigation Agrosystems in Eastern Spain: Roman or Islamic Origins?
1985
Abstract The long-standing controversy concerning Islamic diffusion of cultivars and irrigation technology to Spain is approached by comparing Roman and Islamic agrosystems at the general, regional, and local levels. We describe the Roman intensification of the older Mediterranean agrosystem and then examine the subsequent agricultural and demographic decline between A.D. 250 and 800. The operation, organization, and evolution of large, intermediate, and small-scale irrigation are analyzed in seven case studies from the Valencia region of eastern Spain. The largest systems were refurbished in Islamic times, but during a period when Berber and Arab settlement was thin and acculturation of th…

Invisible Ends Justify Secret Means: Homeland, Machiavelli, and the Least of All Possible Evils
2021
In the rhetoric informing Niccolò Machiavelli’s thought and the contemporary War on Terror, the dialectic between ethics and necessity within the framework of the process of secularization represents a cohesive thread. This very dialectic constitutes also the narrative principle presiding Homeland, one of most insightful TV shows having developed a critical reflection about the present time so far. Dealing with terrorist practices and counterterrorism tactics, the series provides an accurate depiction of the fears featuring nowadays Western societies and the means through which American institutions attempt to answer them . This essay proposes a survey of the conceptual core belonging to th…
El uso de la fuerza contra el Estado Islámico en Irak y Siria: problemas de fundamentación jurídica
2017
Current military campaign against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria raises the question of the admissibility of the right to use force in self-defence against attacks by non-State actors in other States. International law in this area remains controversial and State practice ambiguous and inconsistent. This article analyses the legal basis invoked by States to justify their military operations against ISIL. Consent provided by the Iraqi government is lacking in the case of Syria, leaving only self-defence as feasible legal basis. The broad support for the use of force against Islamic State sides with conflicting views regarding the need of territorial State consent to the use of force on …

I CASTELLI DELLE RIVOLTE. DALLA PIANA DI PARTINICO ALLA VALLE DELLO JATO (PALERMO) SULLE TRACCE DEGLI ULTIMI MUSULMANI IN SICILIA OCCIDENTALE
2017
Following the excavations of the "Castellazzo" fortress of Jato, it became necessary to revise the archaeological materials coming from excavation and reconnaissance in all those fortified sites that welcomed the Muslim population during the revolts between the last Norman and Swabian ages. Attention was thus focused on at least two phases in the construction of such fortresses, often simple towers rather than real castles, corresponding to the beginning of the Norman domination and the Federician period.
Le Moyen Age vu d'ailleurs
2009
Entre 2002 et 2006, le programme Le Moyen Âge vu d'ailleurs a réuni des médiévistes européens et latino-américains , au cours de quatre rencontres qui se sont déroulées à Auxerre (2002), São Paulo (2003), Madrid (2005) et Buenos Aires (2006) . Dans un contexte de relative méconnaissance en Europe de ce qui se faisait dans la médiévistique latino-américaine, il s'agissait alors de stimuler les échanges entre de jeunes chercheurs et de chercheurs confirmés autour de l'actualité d'une recherche multiple en train de se construire. Dans ce deuxième volume Hors série du Bulletin du Centre d'études médiévales d'Auxerre, sont regroupées la plupart des contributions présentées au cours de ces quatre…
PERCORSI DI ESEGESI CORANICA : per un rinnovamento del pensiero islamico contemporaneo
2019
Muhammad Hussein Fadlallah è stato uno degli intellettuali di punta dello sciismo imamita del XX secolo, e si colloca in quella scuola di pensiero e azione che, a partire da 'Ali Shariati e passando per Baqir al-Sadr e Musa al-Sadr, ha illustrato íl pensiero sciita contemporaneo. La pubblicazione di questa antologia commentata degli scritti di Fadlallah risulta particolarmente opportuna nel quarantennale della rivoluzione iraniana di Khomeini. Convinto della necessità che la scienza si trasformi in abbrivio all'azione, la tesi capitale di Fadlallah è che l'Islam rifiuta il quietismo e incita alla ribellione, poiché è íl Corano stesso che mobilita gli oppressi secondo il principio della pote…
Low cost system for visualization and exhibition of pottery finds in archeological museums
2015
The objective of this project is to build a low-cost system for surveying, modeling, prototyping and interactive visualizing aimed at the enhancement of islamic pottery finds of X – XI centuries. The system will allow various applications: the creation of systems for displaying artifacts from the museum alongside the exhibition, the virtual view of restorations from fragments, including AR and VR, the physical reconstruction of the original form using 3D printer to show the pieces in their entirety, as well as the construction of interactive virtual archives to be made available to scholars and visitors.
