Famiglie e immigrazione: sfide e prospettive interdisciplinari
No full textThis volume constitutes the collected papers of an international conference held at the University of Insubria, bearing the title "Family and Immigration. Practices and Challenges." The objective of the conference was to initiate a debate on the complex dynamics that characterize the condition of migrant families, with a particular focus on the European context.The papers collected in this volume explore the challenges of integration, paying particular attention to the multiple cultural, social, religious and legal dimensions that influence the adaptation process of families. The volume discusses the need to develop more complex and inclusive approaches that respect fundamental rights and principles of democratic coexistence, and in particular addresses issues such as migration policies, the reform of the Moroccan Family Code, and the situation of Muslim migrant women, with a focus on the interaction between different legal regulations.Another relevant aspect is the ethnopsychiatric approach, which is useful in supporting family integration and addressing migrant-related psychological difficulties. The volume provides a significant foundation for future research and initiatives, with a focus on promoting equitable integration that respects diversity
Tecniche riproduttive di inizio vita e le sfide bioetiche del diritto di famiglia islamico
No full textIn recent decades, medical science has offered ever more advanced assisted reproductive techniques that can provide access to parenthood for people who would otherwise be excluded. The rapid development of such techniques has (also) raised 'new' questions in the field of religious rights, not least Islamic ones.
This research will begin with some preliminary reflections on the role of procreation within the Islamic family, to understand its relevance within the broader framework of religious precepts. It also provides a summary description of the so-called traditional remedies provided by Islamic family law in cases of infertility or sterility. The overall rationale governing such remedies has enabled Islamic doctrine to define certain functional principles that have become paradigms for the legitimacy of medically assisted reproductive techniques. Finally, the analysis considers the possibility that the various reproductive techniques may fall within the cases provided for by Islamic law, devoting some final reflections to post-mortem procreation, which is currently the subject of extensive (not only religious) debate
Faith in travel
No full textThis opening chapter of the volume “Religious tourism and sustainability in the MENA region” explores the religious tourism sector, highlighting the importance of a structured theoretical and methodological framework to support its growth. It focuses on training competent professionals who are sensitive to cultural and spiritual dimensions in order to promote intercultural, ethical, and respectful tourism. The goal is to transform religious tourism into a space for encounter and dialogue in an increasingly globalized world
Legal aspects of religious tourism. Legal protection, recent developments, and the role of the Catholic Church
No full textThe contribution of the Catholic church to sustainability for an (effective) ecological transition
No full textThe present article conducts an analysis of the role of religions in the context of the sustainability goals promoted by the 2030 Agenda. The study places particular emphasis on the relationship between Pope Francis' pontificate and the subject under discussion, with a view to understanding the degree of convergence (and, if applicable, divergence) between the teachings of the Catholic Church and the 2030 Agenda. The objective of this study is to propose an interpretation of a potential new beginning through a 'new' and global responsibility for solidarity
Different shades of green: Jewish environmental ethics
No full textThe prevailing stance in Jewish orthodoxy is that environmental issues are extra-legal and not under the purview of Halakhah (Jewish law). While considered important, environmental protection falls only under midat haḥasidut (extraordinary piety).
This ultimately translates into environmental protection being treated as non-obligatory and only under the purview of righteous behaviour rather than obligation.
This has created a significant barrier to halakhically driven environmental decision-making. Indeed, a persistent problem can be identified within the discourse of Jewish law: namely, the paucity of scholars addressing that which is regarded by many as the most significant issue of our era, namely the environmental crisis and the suffering of our planet.
The article argue that this worldview emerges from the process of conceptualizing the prohibition of bal tashḥit (waste not) the prohibition against wastefulness originating in Deuteronomy 20:19.
This verse gave rise to two worldviews: the first was accorded a high level of priority, with the objective of preserving the environment being prioritised based on a sense of compassion for the non-human world.
The second worldview is one which places significant emphasis on a self-concerned environmentalism, characterised by the belief that harm to the environment is equated with self-harm. Privileging this latter worldview creates a pathway to advance Jewish legal discourse and align it with mainstream environmentalism.
Indeed, once environmental damage is recognised as damage to life, and thus to sustainability in all its forms, the full force of the Jewish legal system could be implemented to address these issues. The Halakhah upholds the sanctity of life. The direct harm to humans resulting from environmental damage necessitates the prioritisation of an environmentally conscious ethical framework that is more aligned with contemporary times, to inform environmental decision-making with legal force
