  • Histories of Muslim-Arab Sexual Diversity: Between Homoerotic Practices, Homophobia and Homocolonialist Hegemony

    Alessandra Persichetti•ARTICLE•Public Anthropologist•2025

    Based on decades of research conducted through life history narratives collected among Syrians, the article outlines the history of recent changes in male homosexual imaginaries and practices, identifying two historical-epistemological configurations: the first, in Syria, between 1970 and 2000, based on 'fluid' homoerotic practices, enacted in private and not categorized into homonormative frameworks; the second, in the diaspora in Turkey, shaped…

  • From Power to Pleasure: Homosexuality in the Arab-Muslim World from Lakhi'a to al-mukhannathun

    Open Access•Akeel Almarai, Alessandra Persichetti•ARTICLE•Religions•2023•References: 17

    We propose a historical-philological analysis of the attitudes in Islam and Arab culture toward practices of masculine homosexuality (from the pre-Islamic period until end of the first century of Hijra) based on a review of scriptural (Qur'an, Sunnah, fiqh) and literary sources. We hypothesize the existence of a historical dialectic between two ideological models: on the one hand, the heterosexual norm intertwined with patriarchal domination and …

  • Persuasion as tool of education: The Wittgensteinian case

    Alessandra Persichetti•ARTICLE•Educational Philosophy and Theory•2020•References: 1

    In this paper, I aim to explore what role persuasion plays in the early education of children. Advocating Wittgenstein, I claim that persuasion involves imparting to a pupil about a particular world-picture (Weltbild) by showing rather than explaining. This because we cannot introduce a child to the hinges of a world-picture through a discursive argument. I will employ the remarks of Wittgenstein in On Certainty (1969) (OC) to define what persuas…

  • Stefano Boni, Le Strutture della disuguaglianza: Capi, appartenenze e gerarchie nel mondo Akan dell'Africa occidentale

    Open Access•Alessandra Persichetti•ARTICLE•L Homme•2006

    Dans une période caractérisée par le déclin des études sur la morphologie sociale et sur le pouvoir, ce livre de Stefano Boni a le mérite de redonner son importance au sujet des relations de domination et de subordination. Fruit d’une recherche de terrain décennale conduite en aire culturelle akan dans le royaume de Sefwi Wiawso au Ghana, cette monographie excelle dans la méticulosité et la richesse d’une description ethnographique qui l’inscrit …

  • La parenté rahim

    Alessandra Persichetti•ARTICLE•L Homme•2004•Cited by: 4

    S'appuyant sur des donnees ethnographiques provenant du Maroc et de la Syrie, l'auteur identifie dans les classifications locales de la parente une nouvelle categorie, appelee rahim, jusqu'a maintenant presque ignoree par les specialistes. L'analyse de la categorie rahim porte sur trois niveaux : pratiques de la parente, representations correspondantes et doctrine islamique. Dans le cadre du debat actuel sur l'importance des dimensions cognatique…
