Ramadam Fatet vs. John Jucker. Trials and forgery in Egypt, Syria and Tuscany (1739-1740)
ABSTRACT IN ITALIAN: Questo saggio affronta il caso di una serie di processi che, nel 1739-40, videto contrapposti nel tribunale del Governatore di Livorno e in quello pisano dei Consoli del mare un capitano inglese e un sopracarico egiziano. Esamina la spinosa questione del livello di fiducia che esisteva nel commercio inter religioso, tentando di capire in che modo una semplice controversia sullo scarico - una disputa sulle merci frequente e relativamente banale - finisse per essere qualificata come frode o dolo e come, a sua volta, scatenasse una serie di accuse di pratiche fraudolente quali contraffazione, mancata relazione, carico recuperato, spergiuro, malafede, cavillo legale, ecc. Questo caso mette in luce fino a che punto le diverse pratiche di frode fossero intricate, definendo un genus di frode, piuttosto che una species di frode. Esso inoltre consente di analizzare varie «soglie di lite», ovvero le tappe della disputa, lite e aperto conflitto, caratterizzate dalla radicalizzazione delle pretese delle due parti, un graduale incremento dell'aggressività verbale fino al suggerimento della violenza fisica. L09 // ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH: This article presents a detailed case study of trials between an English ship captain and an Egyptian supercargo (sopracarico) who opposed each other in the courts of the Governor of Livorno and of the Pisan Sea Consuls in 1739-1740. It deals with the thorny question of levels of trust involved in cross-religious trade, trying to understand how a simple disagreement over the unloading of cargo, that is a common and relatively benign freight dispute, could end up qualified as fraud, or dolus; and how this, in turn, triggered a series of accusations of other fraudulent practices, like forgery, failure to report salvaged cargo, perjury, bad faith, legal chicanery, etc. This affair shows how these different practices of fraud become entangled, designating a genus of fraud rather than a species of fraud. Moreover, it allows us to analyze several 'litigious thresholds', that is the main stages between dispute, litigation and open conflict, characterized by the radicalization of both litigants' claims, a gradual increase in verbal aggressiveness and even the suggestion of physical violence.

Lleva su arte a Beirut
\"Pero en ese entonces estaba más fuerte la cuestión bélica y lo único que conocí fue el aeropuerto de Tel Aviv, Israel, allá son judíos y yo con mi nombre musulmán, pues me hicieron un montón de preguntas, terminé en los separos y me deportaron\". [Ramadam Karim] realizará un segundo intento: en esta ocasión fue invitado por la Embajada de México en Líbano a exponer en la Beirut Art Book Fair, o por su traducción la Feria del Libro de Arte de Beirut, que se inaugurará este 8 de mayo y de la que México es el país invitado. La invitación tiene su lado \"chistoso\". Un amigo de la infancia, el Cónsul Enrique Paredes, le envió un correo electrónico a Ramadam, sin embargo no lo leyó hasta un año después. Cuando al fin le respondió, el diplomático lo invitó a exponer en Beirut.

Beware the question: are you British or Muslim? You must be both ; More than 4,000 young Muslims, including many from Birmingham, were in Lincoln over the weekend to hear the words of charismatic but controversial Tariq Ramadan. MAUREEN MESSENT talks to the self- styled leader about his agenda for change among British Muslims
A new leader has sprung up who says it is essential for Muslims to respect British laws without fear that such loyalty to Britain makes them lesser Muslims. From his rapturous reception from an audience of 4,000 home- grown Muslims, all under 40, the charismatic Tariq Ramadan, Egyptian- born but now living in Switzerland where he lectures in philosophy at Geneva University, touched hearts with his earnest plea for Muslims to leave behind their ghettoes and ghetto mentalities and take their place in British society. It is clear that Tariq sympathises with the young Muslims who must, to placate parents, live as Westerners in society but as traditional Muslims at home - even though these traditions owe more to imported village customs than to Islamic teaching.

Who's Afraid of Tariq Ramadan?
Tariq Ramadan, whose scholar's visa to teach at the University of Notre Dame was revoked by the US Government, is interviewed. The reading of the Islamic sources out of this culture tends to promote a kind of discrimination against women, says Ramadan. That is why he's telling Muslims to promote an Islamic feminism, he explains. Arabic is the language of Islam, but Arabic culture is not the culture of Islam, Ramadan asserts.
