الإسلام والفضاء العام في إيطاليا : مساحات وفاعلون ورهانات [L'islam et la sphère publique en Italie. Espaces, acteurs et enjeux]
No full textThe article analyses Islam in Italy, as a religious field socially constructed in the context of immigration from countries with a Muslim majority on the one hand, and Italian Muslims on the other, in a context of confused and sometimes contradictory policies. The study deals with practices, in relation to the organisational frameworks of religious activity (Islamic centre, associations, organisations) and interactions with state institutions. The aim is to understand the complexity of the Islamic presence in this country compared to other European countries. The author shows the necessity of sociological studies of religious phenomena and their actors for the understanding of social changes, especially the participation of civil society in public policies and projects of general interest
Reflections on prevention of violent radicalization processes in the school context: An intercultural and critical approach
No full textThe article discusses the issue of the prevention of violent radicalization
processes (Khosrokhavar, 2014) in schools, in the Italian context, focusing
on their jihadist-type declination, and it intends to propose an interpretation
based on the intercultural approach (Schiavinato & Mantovani 2005;
Mantovani, 2008; Schiavinato 2015) to the difference management in public
contexts (Rhazzali, 2016). This perspective allows us to move the scientific
debate away from the predominantly securitarian and emergency
perspective, widely adopted by public policies, that removes from the
political agenda the issue of an effective and fair management of cultural and
religious plurality in the society and in the public space, by adopting an
approach which is defined in the literature as “policed multiculturalism”
(Ragazzi, 2015). Moreover, the securitarian discourse is a leading argument
of some political parties and, encouraged by the mass media, is still dominant
in common sense discourses. The intercultural perspective, on the other
hand, proposes a more complex interpretation that includes not only the issue
of immigration, but also allows to question the changes affecting society and
everyone lives, in relation to the interconnections and exchanges that
characterise the current era. It therefore considers personal and individual
experience within a web of relationships co-constructed in everyday
interactions, that are in turn situated in a wider social and cultural framework,
which gives sense and influences them and, at the same time, is signified and
influenced by them. The intercultural approach, in this respect, does not
renounce taking a position of criticism and questioning of exclusion or inferiorisation dynamics, that operate both on interpersonal level and in
everyday relationships, and on the broader level of the social processes that
frame the
Religion and Prison in Contemporary Muslim Societies: Religious Intervention in the Carceral Space of Post-Revolutionary Tunisia
Full text linkTo date, no scientific literature on the issue of religion in prison has been published in Muslim countries. There, religious practice in prison does not seem to have received specific normative attention. The new political context after the so called “Arab Spring” has given new importance to religion in the space of state institutions. Under the pressure of security concerns, we are witnessing the emergence of new forms of religious intervention in prisons. On the basis of a multi-year research project in Europe, which was recently extended to the context of Muslim-majority countries, this article intends to take stock of the reality of the case of Tunisia, where the essential elements of this theme intersect, by calling on initiatives of state institutions, but also the development that has taken place in civil society
Riconoscimento incompiuto dell’islam e relazioni tra lo Stato e le comunità musulmane in Italia: tra attuazione del pluralismo, preoccupazioni securitarie e ridefinizione del campo religioso
No full textThis article aims to analyse the emblematic case of the relationship between the State and Islam in Italy and the unfinished process of recognition of the Muslim religion in the Italian public space. It examines, on the one hand, the efforts, limits and contradictions emerging in the conception and practice of the management and protection of religious pluralism sanctioned by the Constitution, on the part of the State, and, on the other hand, the transformations of the religious field (Bourdieu 1971), in the negotiation of its internal and external borders that the Islamic communities continually exercise in the effort to achieve a coveted legal recognition.
The article concludes by focusing on a relevant example of the complexity of this process: the ‘reinvention’ of the figure of the imam, in the articulation between the spaces defined, on the one hand, by the regulatory function of the state and, on the other, by the needs and processes of adaptation of religious communities

Muslims in European Prisons: Religious Needs, Management of Diversity, and Policies for Preventing Radicalization in Italian Penitentiaries
No full textIt cannot be denied that religious assistance is ordinarily practiced in European prisons and spaces are granted for prayer to all, whatever their beliefs. However - this also applies to other state agencies - when a new religion like Islam is a candidate to find a place in the life of the institutions, the answer tends not to be that of an effective availability to question the rules of the game. It may be asked whether, questioning the model of diversity management by its very presence and claiming stance, Islam does not usefully contribute to highlight the limits of policies that operate only through narrow adjustments, often subordinating the specific of the prison to the effects of security concerns and narratives, spread in the media as well as in political rhetoric, that associate Islam and terrorism. In light of this question, the essay intends to reconstruct, starting from the results of a multi-year research, the characteristics of the Muslim presence in Italian prisons, aiming to illustrate the current state of religious assistance and the role of the Muslim associations of the territory. We will also analyze the effects induced on the prison organization by negotiations between Muslim prisoners and the penitentiary institution and by the latter's speeches and interventions on the issue of prevention and combating violent radicalization and jihadist proselytism
L’islam in carcere. L'esperienza religiosa dei giovani musulmani nelle prigioni italiane
Full text linkVicissitudini dell’halal e i musulmani d’Italia: tra istituzioni e mercato
No full textThe term halal has spread to the everyday language of non-Muslims. Originally connected to a complex theological-doctrinal practice, the word has taken on new meanings from usages growing out of Muslim immigration and the consequent development
of commercial halal markets. Against this background, the uncertain and inconsistent
response of institutions stands out: defenseless against the aggressiveness of the market
and inclined to intermittent and often contradictory responses to challenges posed by
cultural diversity and religious pluralism
