The Rabbis of Medieval Spain by Professor Norman Roth offers a comprehensive exploration of the Jewish intellectual and social landscape in medieval Spain. The essays in this meticulously researched volume delve into the interplay between Jewish and Christian cultures, highlighting the contributions of Jewish scholars during this period. Professor Roth examines themes such as the influence of Christian thought on Jewish scholarship, the relationships between Jewish communities and the Christian ruling class, and the roles of royalty in shaping Jewish life. Detailed studies of notable Jewish figures, such as Joseph Ibn Megas, reveal their legal and intellectual contributions. Lesser-known rabbis and scholars from regions like Aragon-Catalonia, Majorca, and Provence are also brought to light, showcasing the diversity of Jewish scholarship. The exploration of responsa literature provides insights into the daily lives, legal challenges, and communal dynamics of Jewish communities, while the examination of proverbs in Spanish Jewish sources offers a unique cultural perspective. By examining the cultural and intellectual milieu of the time, Professor Roth highlights the enduring legacy of Jewish intellectual heritage. The Rabbis of Medieval Spain is an essential resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in medieval Jewish history, providing insights into how Jewish communities navigated their existence within Christian society and how their intellectual endeavors flourished despite challenges.
Religion in the Roman Empire
Linking Religion and Labour in the Roman Empire: Micropractices and Their Regulation (2024)2024 •
Open access: https://www.mohrsiebeck.com/en/article/linking-religion-and-labour-in-the-roman-empire-101628rre-2024-0004/ This article lays some of the groundwork for an approach to religion and labour in the Roman Empire that focuses on micropractices and their regulation as a way to recover the experiences of individuals and groups whose labour and religious practices have often been overlooked or undervalued both in antiquity and in modern scholarship. Drawing on practice-oriented scholarship from religious studies and the social sciences in tandem with the Lived Ancient Religion approach, it proposes analysing the intersections of religion and labour as situated linkages of religious micropractices (broadly, human activities involving gods and spirits) with labour practices, including productive labour as well as overlapping types of coerced, familial, reproductive, intimate, emotional/affective/byproductive, and aesthetic labour. Such a focus on linkages primes analysts to recognise the creative, improvised, and tactical agency of individuals and groups as they kindled suprahuman beings to affect their labour. It also calls attention to different forms of legal and discursive regulation that constrained workers' agency at these sites of linkage.

Commenti del cabalista Leon. naturalmente un punto zero, dal momento che io sono lo specialista dello zero senza dimensioni, che però esiste. Ho solo due studenti (seguaci), Walter Gomide e Allan Porter, che infatti sono I miei professori, in quanto io che sono esperto di nulla, non ho niente da insegnare. Sono invece io che ho molto da imparare da loro. Come diceva Socrate: So di non sapere niente, o per dirla evitando la doppia negazione, non sò una "mazza" naturalmente senza dimensione. Oltre ai due studenti-seguaci, famosi matematici a livello mondiale, ma non ancora galattico, ho anche un critico letterario spietato, mio Figlio Aleks, poeta, scrittore, e traduttore di autori famosi: Primo Levi e George Orwell. Dunque, mettiamo i puntini zero sugli i, e vediamo cos'è successo ieri.

Cet article a pour objet de décrire la violence des frontières, à la fois géopolitiques et symboliques, qui se donnent à voir au travers des procédures relatives aux demandes d’asile : demandes initiales, recours, refus, etc. À partir du récit de vie d’Ali Y., demandeur d’asile afghan (arrivé mineur en Belgique, mais non reconnu comme tel), ainsi que de l’ensemble des documents de son dossier (rapports d’auditions, recours, rapports d’experts, cartes géographiques officielles et mentales, etc.), l’article analyse l’ethnocentrisme des procédures d’asile au travers des questions que soulève l’usage du récit biographique dans l’examen des demandes d’asile (le fait de se raconter). Il analyse également l’incidence sur l’issue de la procédure des représentations différenciées de l’espace, du temps et de la parenté du demandeur et de l’examinateur. The purpose of this paper is to describe the violence of the borders, both geopolitical and symbolic, which are seen through the procedures for asylum applications: initial applications, appeals, refusals, etc. From the narrative of life of Ali Y., an Afghan asylum seeker (who had arrived in Belgium but was not recognized as such), as well as all the documents in his file (reports of hearings, appeals, expert reports, geographical and mental maps, etc.), the article analyzes the ethnocentrism of asylum procedures through the questions raised by the use of the biographical narrative in the examination of asylum claims (telling oneself). It also analyses the impact on the outcome of the procedure of differentiated representations about space, time and kinship of the applicant and the examiner. El propósito de este artículo es describir la violencia de las fronteras, tanto geopolíticas como simbólicas, que se ven a través de los trámites para las solicitudes de asilo: solicitudes iniciales, apelaciones, denegaciones, etc. De la narrativa de la vida de Ali Y., solicitante de asilo afgano (que había llegado a Bélgica pero no había sido reconocido como tal), así como todos los documentos de su expediente (informes de audiencias, apelaciones, informes de expertos, mapas oficial y mental, etc.), el artículo analiza el etnocentrismo de los procedimientos de asilo a través de las preguntas planteadas por el uso de la narrativa biográfica en el examen de las solicitudes de asilo. También analiza el impacto en el resultado de los procedimientos de las representaciones diferenciadas de espacio, tiempo y parentesco del solicitante y del examinador.
