ECTS - University of Pisa
L'obiettivo del corso è fornire conoscenze di base sulla tradizione giuridica islamica e su alcuni sistemi giuridici contemporanei dei Paesi islamici.
The main goal involves an in-depth knowledge of the Islamic model, with a privileged point of view on the plurality of its voices and institutions. In addition, the historical course of the advent of Islam, of Muhammad's role as Prophet and as Governor of Medina will be analyzed, as well as a "constitutional" perspective on its organization. Moreover, particular attention will be devoted to the issues of a single-voiced Islamic model, the Five Pillars, the roots and sources of law, private and criminal law. Thus, to promote the knowledge of the dynamics between Tradition and Rule of law, the program will investigate some systems and will offer an overview of case studies, chosen to highlight the interactions between different levels and leyers of sources, in order to explain the differences between Muslim law and Muslim Countries (contemporary) law as well.
Le conoscenze saranno verificate attraverso un esame orale.
The students’ knowledge - acquired via the thorough analysis provided during the course - will be assessed through their capability in detecting similarities and differences both within the Islamic model itself and between the different systems. A specific focus will concern lexicon and categories, especially in relation to the mostly debated topics.
Lo/la studente alla fine del Corso svilupperà la capacità di distinguere le matrici culturali e religiose da quelle giuridiche.
Students will develop new points of view as far as mainstream narratives on Islam and the Arab-Islamic world are concerned, fostering a critical analysis. Furthermore, they will be able to create a clear and complete framework of the differences between classical scholarship and contemporary interpretations. In addition, a comparative perspective and approach will be chosen.
La verifica si svolgerà con un esame orale.
The acquired skills will be proved through a final oral examination, whereas group discussions will be provided during the course in order to encourage interactions between students and the mutual exchange of ideas.
Gli e le studenti potranno sviluppare sensibilità critica rispetto alle narrazioni islamofobiche
