Richiedere a un detenuto di fornire prova dell’avvenuta conversione viola la sua libertà di religione
2021
This short contribution provides a comment of the judgment of the European Court on Human Rights in the case of Neagu v. Romania (application no. 21969/15), in which the Court found a violation of Article 9 (right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion) of the European Convention on Human Rights. The case concerned a prisoner who had converted to Islam while in detention. He complained of the refusal of the Romanian authorities to provide him with pork-free meals, in accordance with the precepts of his religion, unless he furnished proof that he was an adherent of that religion. The Court found that, bearing in mind the provisions introduced by the order of the Ministry of Justice r…

Las cuevas como espacios rituales en época ibérica. Los casos de Kelin, Edeta y Arse
2017
Este trabajo tiene como objetivo demostrar la diversidad existente dentro del conjunto de espacios rituales categorizados tradicionalmente como cuevas-santuario ibéricas. Para ello, analizamos diecisiete cuevas con materiales ibéricos (ss. VI-I a.C.), cercanas a los territorios de Kelin, Edeta y Arse, así como dos ejemplos de otras zonas. Dicho estudio se basa no solo en el registro material, sino también en las características físicas y locacionales de estos espacios naturales. A través de la identificación de pautas materiales que ritualizan lo cotidiano, así como otras particularidades físicas y sensoriales, identificamos distintas actividades. Realizamos, por tanto, un análisis regional…
Iʿtibārī Concepts in Suhrawardī : The Case of Substance
2020
Abstract Shihāb al-Dīn al-Suhrawardī (d. 587/1191) famously criticised the central concepts of Avicennian metaphysics as merely mind-dependent (or iʿtibārī) notions. This paper aims to show that despite his critique, Suhrawardī held that these concepts are meaningful, indeed necessary for human cognition. By the same token, it is argued that their re-emergence in Suhrawardī’s ishrāqī metaphysics is not a matter of incoherence. Although the paper’s findings can be generalised to hold of all iʿtibārī concepts, mutatis mutandis, our focus is on the concept of substance, mainly because of the importance of the concept of ‘dusky substance’ in ishrāqī metaphysics.
A Folklorist in the Soviet Spotlight
2019
Abstract The article seeks to illuminate the ideologically motivated circumstances of Latvian folklore studies during the period of unconditional Soviet totalitarianism. With the strengthening of the Soviet occupation regime in Latvia in the late 1940s, many interwar folklorists became victims of ideologically motivated disdain and subsequent career limitation. ‘Bourgeois’ scholarship and the methods applied in folklore studies during the interwar period were denounced and recognised as harmful to the new Soviet order. The central part of the article presents a case study of one individual folklorist of the time, Anna Bērzkalne (1891–1956). Both increasing criticism of Bērzkalne’s folklore …
Faith-based development of World Vision Tanzania
2018
This article examines how faith is intertwined in conceptions of development in the work of World Vision Tanzania, a faith-based organisation focusing on child welfare. Issues that are explored include the question how an apparently common faith setting constitutes and provides a source of social meanings and values for the assessment of human development as well as secular development concepts such as human agency and empowerment. The analysis shows how World Vision staff assign different values to Christian and non-Christian development when assessing the potential and achievements of the beneficiaries in terms of secular concepts. It is argued that a faith-based worldview in this context…
La circulación manuscrita de los poemas alfabéticos de Francisco de Osuna: El caso del manuscrito «MSS/74» de la Biblioteca Nacional de España
2013
International audience; A raíz del redescubrimiento en la BNE del manuscrito MSS/74 —una copiosa antología de cartas y opúsculos místicos del siglo xvi—, se pudieron identificar dos de los tres «alfabetos» anónimos al amor de Dios que cierran dicho compendio: se trata en realidad de dos poemas alfabéticos de Francisco de Osuna. Constituyendo un ejemplo inédito de versiones manuscritas de los poemas del franciscano andaluz, estos alfabetos presentan variantes significativas respecto de las versiones impresas procedentes del Segundo y del Cuarto Abecedario espiritual. El cotejo de ambas versiones, y el análisis atento de dichas variantes, evidencian la realidad de una circulación oral y manus…
The Sephardim of North Morocco, Zionism and Illegal Emigration to Israel Through the Spanish Cities of Ceuta and Melilla
2020
This text looks at the fluid intersection in the emergence and development of Zionism and the later Zionist-promoted emigration of Moroccan Jews to Israel from what was the Spanish Protectorate zone in Morocco and the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla in the north of Sherifian state. This process has received less attention from scholars than similar events in the French zone. However, it has some particularities that merit specific attention. From the early years of contact between North Moroccan Jews and European Zionism, the strong cultural identity of the Sephardim in the region and the mobilization of a Spanish approach informed by philo-Sephardism marked an important difference wi…
Smithian Sentimentalism Anticipated: Pufendorf on the Desire for Esteem and Moral Conduct
2018
In this paper, we argue that Samuel Pufendorf's works on natural law contain a sentimentalist theory of morality that is Smithian in its moral psychology. Pufendorf's account of how ordinary people make moral judgements and come to act sociably is surprisingly similar to Smith's. Both thinkers maintain that the human desire for esteem, manifested by resentment and gratitude, informs people of the content of central moral norms and can motivate them to act accordingly. Finally, we suggest that given Pufendorf's theory of socially imposed moral entities, he has all the resources for a sentimentalist theory of morality.
