This Volume contains the Proceedings of the 23rd Congress of L’Union Européenne des Arabisants et Islamisants held in Sassari from Thursday 28th of September to Sunday 1st October 2006. The 26 articles contained in the Volume written by specialists from all over Europe (Russia, Finland, Poland, England, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Portugal, Belgium and the Netherlands) deal with the following subjects: Islam, with contributions by scholars such as Roswitha Badry, Dimitry Frolov, Wilfred Madelung and Giuseppe Scatolin; History, Society and Archaeology, with papers by among others, Giuseppe Contu, Jaakko Hämeen-Anttila, Paulina Lewicka and Bernadette Martel-Thoumian; Literature, with papers by, inter alios, Ewa Machut-Mendecka, Barbara Michalak-Pikulska, Arie Schippers, and Krystyna Skarzynska-Bochenska; and Arabic Language and Linguistics, with articles by Lale Behzadi, Michael G. Carter, and Ali Kalati.
The Central Theme focuses on how the characteristics of Islam and Arabism are to be found in the periphery of the Arabic and Islamic world in relation to its Center and the interchanges implied by the geographic distance between center and periphery. The University of Sassari was the right ambiance for such a Congress since there was in the past some Arabic presence in Sardinia, which island was itself situated at the borders of the Islamic and Arabic Mediterranean
Sardinia and the Arabs: Exchange and Conflict on the Border of Dar al-Islam
The paper aims to illustrate what type of traces the relationship between Arabs and Sardinia left in the island, when it was a political and religious reality living at the border of three muslim areas: Spain, Maghreb and Sicily. Following previous research I carried out on the topic, I give results about the linguistic and the historical effects of the contact between Sardinia and Arab countries, especially between the island and northern Africa
Observaciones sobre <i>Notholepiota sardoa</i> Padovan et Contu
À propos de Notholepiota sardoa Padovan et Contu. Une récolte récente de Notholepiota sardoa est l’objet d’une description détaillée, avec dessins des caractères microscopiques et des photos couleur des basidiomes. L’espèce est comparée avec les descriptions publiées de l’espèce type du genre: N. areolata (G. Cunn.) Horak. Ceci mène à la conclusion que le matériel examiné n’appartient pas au genre Notholepiota. La conséquence en est la proposition de la nouvelle combination Lepiota sardoa (Padovan et Contu) Vila et Castellón.Some remarks on Notholepiota sardoa Padovan et Contu. A recent collection of Notholepiota sardoa is described, with drawings of microscopic characters and colour photographs of the habitus. The species is compared with the published descriptions of the type species of the genus: N. areolata (G. Cunn.) Horak. This leads to the conclusion that the material examined does not belong to Notholepiota but to Lepiota. As a consequence, the new combination Lepiota sardoa (Padovan et Contu) Vila et Castellón is here proposed.</p

Il pellegrinaggio musulmano alla Mecca (al-Makka)
Racconta il rito del pellegrinaggio(uno dei cinque precetti obbligatori dell'Islam) che i musulmani devono compiere alla Mecca, almeno una volta nella vita.This article illustrates one of the five Pillars of Islam: that of the pilgrimage to the Mecca, which has to be undertaken by every Muslim at least once in a lifetime.
The analysis considers in particular those Quran verses referring to this obligation which, together with the declaration of faith, the daily prayers, alms-giving and fasting, every Muslim must follow. The study reports both the main practices and rituals concerning the so called short-pilgrimage, consisting in the visit to Mecca, and the real pilgrimage which, beside a visit to the holy city, implies a series of rites and purity conditions which have to be respected by the pilgrim

The dissociation between cognitive and emotional responses to deterrents
This article reports empirical findings on the strength and dissociation of experimentally
induced cognitive vs. emotional responses to instigators of prejudice towards people
affected by mental illness. Drawing on emotional intensity theory (EIT: Brehm,
1999), the experiment (N = 80) shows how growing and apparently reassuring reasons
(i.e., the deterrents) for not being prejudiced towards ‘the mentally ill’ differentially
affect the intensity of cognitive vs. emotional prejudiced responses. Such reassuring
information was conveyed to participants as the increasing likelihood that ordinary
people typically recover, if affected, from mental illness (likelihood not mentioned,
low [5%], moderate [50%], high [70%]). Whereas the intensity of cognitive responses
tended to diminish linearly with growing reasons for not being prejudiced (η2
= .06),
the intensity of emotional responses followed closely EIT’s predictions, and varied as a
cubic function of deterrence information (η2
= .61), that is, of information ironically
intended to reassure participants. These findings substantiate EIT in two important
respects. For one, they consistently reveal, and nicely conceptually replicate, EIT’s
predicted cubic pattern of paradoxical results for emotional responses with respect to
prejudiced affect. Most importantly, however, they also illustrate—theoretically and
empirically—the expected dissociation between emotional and cognitive responses
to deterrents. In our view, such a dynamic separation and convergence of cognitive
and affective components of prejudice has the full potential to inspire new theoretical
insight and understanding, theory-based research, and the development of evidencebased intervention practices
