AbstractThe present essay is an examination of classical jurists' legal determinations pertaining to liwāt (sodomy) and sihāq (tribadism), both of which have been little studied in their legal context. In exploring jurists' logic and legal categorizations, I argue that three major factors contributed to their legal injunctions: (1) their use of zinā (illicit sex between a man and a woman) as the paradigm by which to punish liwāt and sihāq, (2) their perception of sexual intercourse as an exclusively male act of phallic penetration, and (3) an individual's legal status within the social hierarchy as reflected in jurisprudential discussions of illicit sexual intercourse (zinā). Juristic disagreements over the semantics and definitions of these three factors extended to the treatment of liwāt and sihāq and, ultimately, became normative doctrine.

This article investigates the process of designing of the new social estate in imperial Russia - odnodvortsy of the western provinces. This social category was designed specifically for those petty szlachta who did not possess documents to prove their noble ancestry and status. The author analyses deliberations on the subject that took place in the Committee for the Western Provinces. The author focuses on the argument between senior imperial officials and the Grodno governor Mikhail Muraviev on the issue of registering petty szlachta in fiscal rolls. Muraviev argued against setting up a special fiscal-administrative category for petty szlachta suggesting that its members should join the already existing unprivileged categories of peasants and burgers. Because this proposal ran against the established fiscal practices, the Committee opted for creating a distinct social estate for petty szlachta. The existing social estate paradigm in Russia pre-assigned the location of the new soslovie in the imperial social hierarchy. Western odnodvortsy were to be included into a broad legal status category of the free inhabitants. Despite similarity of the name, the new estate was not modeled on the odnodvortsy of the Russian provinces because they retained from the past certain privileges (e.g. the right to possess serfs) that did not correspond to the 19th century attributes of unprivileged social estates.

Law plays a vital role in establishing not only regulations but actual thoughts and behavior in defining what is acceptable by society and what is to be considered natural or unnatural. Thus, as the laws dealt with here become symbols of what society believes to be natural or unnatural, they assume far more serious implications than their strictly legal context; hence, the significance of this study. The law is the arena where different views or philosophies are contested. Thus, Rosemary Coombe maintains that “law concludes or limits everyday struggles, authoritatively determines the qualities of individuals or groups, the social identities which people can lay claim to, and the ways in which personhood and experiences of self can be legitimately represented.” Furthermore, by legitimizing certain conceptions of the self, the law by default suppresses alternative conceptions.

O presente estudo é fruto de reflexões suscitadas a partir da tensão social entre indígenas e proprietários rurais, originada pelas últimas demarcações de terras indígenas no Brasil e devido a um contexto histórico-jurídico que vem passando por significativas transformações no que tange a sua aplicabilidade. As presentes considerações são um chamado à discussão sobre alguns fatos históricos de violação dos direitos indígenas às suas terras de origem, através de uma visão histórica, social e jurídica que cercam o presente tema. Por conseguinte, o presente estudo, com um viés crítico, ressalta as nuances do processo (re) interpretativo da Constituição Federal de 1988 acerca do direito indígena as suas terras de origem. Toda a conjuntura histórica das políticas indigenistas brasileiras, propostas e efetivadas ao longo de séculos, revela o descompasso entre previsão legal e as práticas governamentais e o descaso com o qual a garantia do direito vem sendo abordada. Neste contexto, muitos são os desafios na execução de direitos, considerando o atual cenário, por um lado reflexo de conformações e deficiências de discernimento e, por outro, fomentador de usos contra hegemônicos do direito, em defesa da emancipação social. Desse modo, pretende-se analisar a atual estratégia de (re)interpretação do texto constitucional por meio de estudos de casos e jurisprudências emblemáticas que envolvem o tema, visando assim demonstrar a fragmentação dos direitos indígenas pela adoção de medidas omissas por parte do poder judiciário.*The present essay is the result of reflections based on the social tension between indigenous and rural landowners, originated by the last demarcations of indigenous lands in Brazil and due to a historical-legal context that has undergone significant changes in its applicability. The considerations set out in this article are a call for discussion on some historical facts about the violation of indigenous rights to their lands of origin, through a historical, social and juridical view that surrounds the present theme. Therefore, the critical and theoretical discussion of this work highlights the nuances of the (re) interpretative process of the 1988 Federal Constitution regarding indigenous rights to their lands of origin. All the historical conjuncture of Brazilian indigenist policies proposed and enforced over the centuries reveals the mismatch between legal prediction and government practices, as well as the disregard for the guarantee of indigenous rights to land. In this context, there are many challenges in the implementation of rights, considering the current scenario, on the one hand reflecting conformations and deficiencies of discernment and, on the other, promoting counter-hegemonic uses of the law, in defense of social emancipation. In this way, the current strategy of (re)interpretation of the constitutional text was analyzed through case studies and emblematic jurisprudence that surround the theme, aiming to demonstrate the fragmentation of indigenous rights by the adoption of omission measures by the judiciary.

Abstract: The concept of ‘iddah and ihdad in Islamic jurisprudence that has been running so far requires women to shy away from the social interaction and the avoidance of activities that may attract the attention of men, such as preening, ornate, and so on. They are regarded to mediate the appearance of the prohibited wedding on the waiting period (‘iddah). It is very collide with the present fact about the career women which demand them to work hard, always look attractive, and keep the interaction with the opposite sex. These factors encourage them to have an outdoor activity to support their financial result and career. The clash between the concept of fiqh and the current condition of the career women becomes the object of the discussion. Consideration that can change the legal status of ‘iddah and ihdad when collides with the issue of career women is a consideration hajah and darurah. In addition, the legal settlement of the career women can be said to be more applicable, effective, and humane. This paper will examine about ‘iddah and ihdad for the career women through the lens of maqasid al-shari’ah so the concept of Islamic jurisprudence can still be applied in contemporary era without negating the rights of the individual and social. Abstrak: Konsep ‘iddah dan ihdad dalam fiqh yang telah dijalankan selama ini, mengharuskan wanita untuk menghindar dari interaksi sosial serta menghindar dari aktifitas yang dapat menarik perhatian laki-laki, semisal bersolek, berhias, dan sebagainya karena dianggap dapat menjadi perantara munculnya pernikahan pada masa ‘iddah yang hukumnya dilarang. Hal ini sangat berbenturan dengan fakta kekinian tentang wanita karir yang menuntut wanita bekerja ekstra untuk memenuhi kebutuhan hidup yang mengharuskan wanita ini untuk selalu berpenampilan menarik serta menjaga interaksi dengan siapapun termasuk lawan jenis sehingga tertuntut untuk selalu beraktifitas keluar rumah, hal ini ditujukan untuk menunjang hasil finansial dan karirnya. Dua fakta mengenai benturan konsep fiqh dengan kondisi kekinian yang dalam hal ini adalah wanita karir, menjadi objek pembahasan yang menarik untuk kemudian dicarikan solusinya. Pertimbangan yang dapat merubah hukum ‘iddah dan ihdad ketika berbenturan dengan masalah wanita karir adalah pertimbangan hajat dan d}arurat mengingat efektifitas hajat dan d}arurat sehingga penyelesaian hukum ‘iddah dan ihdad bagi wanita karir dapat dikatakan lebih aplikatif, efektif  dan humanis untuk era kekinian dengan pertimbangan hajat dan darurat.  Tulisan ini akan mengkaji tentang ‘Iddah dan Ihdad  Bagi Wanita Karir melalui kacamata maqasid ash-Shari’ah sehingga konsep fiqh masih dapat diaplikasikan di era kekinian tanpa meniadakan hak-hak individu dan sosial.Kata Kunci: ‘Iddah, Ihdad, Wanita Karir

The qualitative and clear definition of the legal regime of the capital of Ukraine, the hero city of Kyiv, is influenced by its legislative enshrinement, however, it should be noted that discussions are ongoing and one of the reasons for the unclear legal status of the capital is the ambiguity of current legislation in this area. Separation of the functions of the city of Kyiv, which are carried out to ensure the rights of citizens of Ukraine and the functions that guarantee the rights of the territorial community of the city of Kyiv. In the modern world, in legal doctrine and practice, the capital is understood as the capital of the country, which at the legislative level received this status and, accordingly, is the administrative and political center of the state, which houses the main state bodies and diplomatic missions of other states. It is the identification of the boundaries of the relationship between the competencies of state administrations and local self-government, in practice, often raises questions about their delimitation and ways of regulatory solution. Peculiarities of local self-government in Kyiv city districts are defined in the provisions of the Law on the Capital, which reveal the norms of the Constitution in these legal relations, according to which the issue of organizing district management in cities belongs to city councils. Likewise, it is unregulated by law to lose the particularity of the legal status of the territory of the city. It should be emphasized that the subject of administrative-legal relations is not a certain administrative-territorial entity, but the social group is designated - the territorial community of the city of Kiev, kiyani. Thus, the provisions on the city of Kyiv partially ignore the potential of the territorial community.

الملخّصيتعلق هذا البحث بموضوع دية القتل الخطأ في الحوادث المرورية في الفقه الإسلامي في العصر الحاضر لكثرة وقوعها وحاجة الناس إلى بيان أحكامها من حيث كيفية تقديرها. وتحرير الخلاف في دية المرأة، ومسألة دية الجنين في حال تعرضه للموت في بطن أمه نتيجة الحادث المروري، أو في حالة تعرضه للإجهاض والموت، وتناول أيضًا دية شخصين إذا ماتا نتيجة اصطدام سيارتين؛ فكيف تقدَّر الدِّية؟ وعالج البحث مسألة العاقلة في الوقت الحاضر التي تساعد الطرفين (الجاني والمجني عليه وذلك بجمع الدية وإعطائها للمجني عليه). وذلك من خلال استخدام المنهج الاستقرائي والمنهج المقارن: حيث يتم من خلاله جمع النصوص المتعلقة بالموضوع، وآراء العلماء المتقدمين، والمعاصرين، والمقارنة بينهما لمعرفة نقاط الاتفاق والاختلاف، لتجلية معالم الموضوع، وتسهيل مناقشتها بصورة دقيقة، ثم بيان الرأي الراجح. وقد توصلت الدراسة إلى أنَّ دية القتل في الحوادث المرورية في العصر الحاضر تساوي بالدينار الذهبي، الذي يساوي 4.250 جرامًا من الذهب، أو بما يساويها من النقد. وأنَّ الراجح هو تساوي دية الرجل مع دية المرأة. وفي حالة عدم وجود العاقلة لابأس من إنشاء شركة تعاونية لمساعدة من وقع منه الحادث.الكلمات المفتاحية: الدِّية، حوادث المرور، دية المرأة، دية الجنين، العاقلة. Abstract         This research addresses the subject of blood money for unintended manslaughter in traffic accidents according to Islamic jurisprudence in the present era due to the frequency of their occurrence and the need for people to understand the legal provisions concerning determining the amount. In this regard, we seek to clarify the disagreements regarding the blood money for women and foetuses that die in the mother’s womb as a result of traffic accidents or abortion. We also address the issue of blood money for two people who die as a result of collision between two cars. We also examine the issue of ʿĀqilah (those who pay the blood money) who helped the two parties (the offender and the victim by collecting blood money and giving it to the victim). To clarify these issues, we use the inductive approach and comparative method wherein we collect the various texts on the subject, and the views of classical and contemporary scholars to engage in a comparison between them in order to identify the points of agreement and disagreement between views. From here, we also hope to identify the major factors pertaining to such issues in order to facilitate a precise and concrete discussion to arrive at the most correct opinion. The study found that blood money for manslaughter in traffic accidents in the present era is equal to a gold dinar, which is equal to 4.250 grams of gold, or its cash equivalent. We advocate that the correct view is that the amount of blood money paid to a man is equal to that of a woman, and that in the absence of an ʿĀqilah it is possible to form a cooperative or mutual fund to render assistance to the victim.Keywords: blood money, traffic accidents, women, foetus, ʿĀqilah.

This chapter examines the forms and usage of imperatives and command strategies in contemporary standard Japanese. Although commands are highly face-threatening acts in any language, speakers of Japanese encounter particular challenges in using them in socially acceptable ways. Commands are generally only given to those considered ‘below’ the speaker in the social hierarchy, and are normally considered appropriate only when used toward ‘in-group’ members. Further restrictions relate to the identity the speaker wishes to convey. Numerous command strategies have emerged to avoid using the most direct imperative forms, and some of these strategies have gradually come to be reinterpreted as imperative forms themselves, suggesting a loss of their original euphemistic qualities. Furthermore, when issuing commands, speakers often go to considerable lengths to soften the face threat, for example by giving reasons for the command, adding markers of hesitancy, or softening illocutionary particles, and using appropriate honorific language forms.

This largely descriptive chapter introduces the reader to the specific features and functions of each type of hostelry and provides a broad-brush picture of their historical development, activities, ways they influenced each other, and importance in their role in out-of-home consumption of food, drink, and sociality. It outlines their social, economic, and political functions, and places them in their societal context. The pub was always the lowest in the social hierarchy among the three. Yet, it has been the longest survivor and has gradually taken over some of the functions formerly performed by inns and taverns. Inns and taverns, however, persist in the British social imagination and, where their buildings have survived, they lend distinction to a village or part of town. Both continuities and changes over time, as well as some overlap between the three hostelries, are described using examples of places and personalities.

Abstract The changes in the short version of Leontios of Neapolis’ Life of John the Almsgiver are analyzed in order to evaluate their cause and to expose their literary character. It is shown that the saint’s oaths are suppressed due to a misunderstanding of a passage in the Prologue, and by respect of the Evangelical commandment. The short version also eliminates pagan concepts of fortune, emphasises the social hierarchy, the accordance between words and thoughts, the action of God as a cause of miracles, and avoids to name God as a reason. The short version raises the stylistical level of the text using the methods of the Metaphrast which is common in the 10th century. The textual tradition also allows to date it into this century. The long version is surely the original text, and the changes made to it show a cultural change between the 7th and 10th centuries.
