The course requires an interest in the study of religious cultures and a
good background in modern and contemporary history as well as in
sociological subjects and intercultural mediation in general.
For attending students, the final exam for the course consists of a
written test agreed upon on the topics covered in the course and based on texts provided by the instructor, consisting of five broad open-ended questions graded with a score from 0 to 6. The test will last 75 minutes and the
assessment of learning will take into account the accuracy and quality of the
answers, mastery in the use of appropriate terminology, as well as the ability to justify, arguing persuasively, statements and opinions.
For non-attending students: oral examination based on the text by Silvio Ferrari, Strumenti e percorsi di diritto comparato delle religioni, il Mulino, latest edition. Will be assessed, in particular. in particular, the ability to relate the contents of the program in a manner appropriate to the specifics of the subject, argumentative skills and the technical-expressive skills.
The final grade will be awarded in thirtieths.
Focusing on religious rights (Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, Catholic canonical, Islamic), the course aims to offer students an opening to legal worlds other than those regulated by state-produced norms. Students will therefore be called upon to learn about the main features of some of the most popular religious legal systems that characterize contemporary globalization; to confront their legal institutions and recognize their norms with practical relevance for millions of people; to evaluate the differences between religiously and state-produced normative responses; and to process and communicate the notions learned.
In this way, the Dublin indicators divided into: 1. knowledge and understanding; 2. application of knowledge; 3. making judgments; and 4. communication.
In the academic year 2022-2023, the course will focus on Jewish law, canon law, Islamic law, Hindu law, and Buddhist law.
It will first address the sources of religious rights, examining their main founding texts and the specific characteristics of religious legalities. From a comparative perspective, some specific issues will then be addressed, such as religious affiliation (ways of entering and leaving religious groups); religious marriages; the women's issue; dietary rules; and the relationship with human rights and state production rights.
Legal clinics will focus on canonical marriage law (with attention to interaction with forensics and psychiatry) and Jewish law.
Hindu law (sources, membership and apostasy, dietary rules, marriage).
Buddhist law (sources, membership and apostasy, dietary rules, marriage).
Jewish law (sources, membership and apostasy, dietary rules, marriage).
Canon law (sources, marriage with exercises).

Legal clinics.
In A.Y. 22-23 the course will be held in presence. The topics will be introduced by frontal lectures framing the theme and accompanied by the analysis of texts, normative and doctrinal, in a co-working mode. The active participation of students will be encouraged.
During the course, in-depth seminars will be organised with external experts in order to allow students a qualified comparison and in-depth study of the course topics.
The professor is available to prepare "PDP" upon reasoned request.
Talks with students are at the end of lessons or by appointment, also
