Download or read book Islam and New Kinship written by Morgan Clarke and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2009-06-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization have provoked global controversy and ethical debate. This book provides a groundbreaking investigation into those debates in the Islamic Middle East, simultaneously documenting changing ideas of kinship and the evolving role of religious authority in the region through a combination of in-depth field research in Lebanon and an exhaustive survey of the Islamic legal literature. Lebanon, home to both Sunni and Shiite Muslim communities, provides a valuable site through which to explore the overall dynamism and diversity of global Islamic debate. As this book shows, Muslim perspectives focus on the moral propriety of such controversial procedures as the use of donor sperm and eggs as well as surrogacy arrangements, which are allowed by some authorities using surprising and innovative legal arguments. These arguments challenge common stereotypes of the rigidity and conservatism of Islamic law and compel us to question conventional contrasts between ‘liberal’ and Islamic notions of moral freedom, as well as the epistemological assumptions of anthropology’s own ‘new kinship studies’. This book will be essential reading for anyone interested in contemporary Islam and the impact of reproductive technology on the global social imaginary.

Download or read book Dictionnaire encyclop dique de th orie et de sociologie du droit written by and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-13 with total page 758 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'édition originale du Dictionnaire encyclopédique de théorie et de sociologie du droit (2e éd.) est parue en 1993, aux éditions LGDJ. Dans sa préface à la 1re édition de ce dictionnaire, en 1987, André-Jean Arnaud affirmait : " les juristes parlent volontiers d'épistémologie, de connaissance du droit, de structure, de fonction, d'imputation, d'instance, de pluralisme, d'idéologie, de dogmatique, de critique, de science, sans savoir toujours exactement ce que les spécialistes, ceux qui travaillent quotidiennement sur ces notions, veulent dire par là – et qui n'est pas toujours la même chose de l'un à l'autre (...). On gagne toujours en rigueur à effectuer une vigoureuse toilette épistémologique, surtout en ces temps où la polysémie n'est pas seulement le fait de la spécialisation, mais a pris un tour subjectif, chaque auteur utilisant un terme du vocabulaire courant dans un sens qui lui est propre, parce qu'il fait partie de son univers conceptuel ". Quelques trente ans après, ces mots sont assurément toujours d'actualité. Un dictionnaire de théorie et de sociologie du droit avait donc naturellement vocation à rejoindre la collection des Anthologies du droit de la LGDJ. L'occasion aussi, pour l'éditeur, de rendre hommage à celui qui a codirigé les collections " Droit et société " pendant de nombreuses années.

Download or read book Revisiting Moroccan Migrations written by Mohammed Berriane and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the 20th century, Morocco has become one of the world’s major emigration countries. But since 2000, growing immigration and settlement of migrants from sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and Europe confronts Morocco with an entirely new set of social, cultural, political and legal issues. This book explores how continued emigration and increasing immigration is transforming contemporary Moroccan society, with a particular emphasis on the way the Moroccan state is dealing with shifting migratory realities. The authors of this collective volume embark on a dialogue between theory and empirical research, showcasing how contemporary migration theories help understanding recent trends in Moroccan migration, and, vice-versa, how the specific Moroccan case enriches migration theory. This perspective helps to overcome the still predominant Western-centric research view that artificially divide the world into ‘receiving’ and ‘sending’ countries and largely disregards the dynamics of and experiences with migration in countries in the Global South. This book was previously published as a special issue of The Journal of North African Studies.

Alutiiq artists carved the masks from wood or bark into images of ancestors, animal spirits, and other mythological forces; these extraordinary creations have been an essential tool for communicating with the spirit world and have played an important role in dances and hunting festivities for centuries. Giinaquq—Like a Face presents thirty-three full-color images of these fantastic and eye-catching masks, which have been preserved for more than a century as part of the Pinart Collection in a small French museum. These masks, collected in 1871 by a young French scholar of indigenous cultures, are presented for the first time in their complete cultural context, celebrating the rich history of the Alutiiq people and their artistic traditions. In addition to the stunning photographs, Giinaquq—Like a Face includes an informative text in three languages—English, Alutiiq, and French—in order to provide a cross-cultural understanding of the masks’ traditional meaning and use. This captivating and revealing book will be an essential resource for anyone interested in indigenous art and culture.
