In the first part, I present al-Ṯaʿālibī’s numerous excerpts on ḫaṣāʾiṣ, and discuss the work entitled Ḫaṣāʾiṣ al-buldān, its textual history and attribution to al-Ṯaʿālibī. I then sketch al-Ṯaʿālibī’s travels, firsthand and secondhand geographical knowledge, and sources in order to analyse the contents and form of his ḫaṣāʾiṣ. The textual investigation aims at showing al-Ṯaʿālibī’s usage of common adab features such as intertextuality, lexicographical items and lists to support specific claims of his writing and to reinforce a certain representation of the world based on adab stereotypes and clichés.","PeriodicalId":8163,"journal":{"name":"Arabica","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41737683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Muḥammad (m. 363/974) aux plus hautes charges judiciaires de l’État en Ifrīqiya. Al-Nuʿmān copia ce décret dans son Kitāb Iḫtilāf uṣūl al-maḏāhib (La divergence des principes juridiques des écoles de droit), un ouvrage de polémique juridique où l’auteur fustige les autres écoles doctrinales de droit. L’auteur défend l’autorité politico-religieuse de l’Imam-calife face aux critiques développées par les juristes sunnites à l’égard des Fatimides en Ifrīqiya : il affirme une doctrine juridique ismaélienne modérée, concurrente des écoles juridiques sunnites, dans le but de purger le mouvement fatimide de ses éléments jugés extrêmes, les ġulāt. Le décret d’al-Muʿizz met quant à lui en place une justice bicéphale : d’un côté, il entérine le rôle judiciaire de l’Imam fatimide lequel apparaît de surcroît comme une source de droit ; de l’autre, il confirme l’institutionnalisation de la fonction de « grand cadi » fatimide. Incarnée par al-Nuʿmān, l’institution de « cadi de l’Imam » se mua progressivement en celle de grand cadi fatimide d’Ifrīqiya : sans en porter le titre, al-Nuʿmān remplissait déjà sous al-Manṣūr le rôle de grand cadi. Plus tard, le décret d’al-Muʿizz entérine ce rôle, en lui ajoutant des responsabilités nouvelles. À la tête de la hiérarchie judiciaire, le grand cadi nommait notamment des ḥukkām qui remplissaient la fonction de juge dans les territoires vides d’autorité cadiale. Ces magistrats secondaires faisaient le lien entre le pouvoir central et les espaces ruraux où les Fatimides étaient vulnérables. La hiérarchisation et la centralisation de la justice fatimide sous al-Muʿizz avaient pour double objectif de balayer l’influence des grandes juridictions urbaines (Kairouan et al-Mahdiyya) concurrentes du grand cadi et de contrôler les territoires éloignés, principalement ruraux.","PeriodicalId":8163,"journal":{"name":"Arabica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46899437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Le fāʾ des systèmes hypothétiques en in de l’arabe classique : critères de prédiction des valeurs sémantiques de fāʾ","authors":"M. Sartori","doi":"10.1163/15700585-12341644","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1163/15700585-12341644","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000Dans les systèmes hypothétiques arabes apparaît très souvent un fa- entre la protase et l’apodose. Selon la grammaire arabe classique, formée sur un corpus préclassique et pour le seul opérateur in des systèmes hypothétiques, le fāʾ marquerait une rupture formelle dès lors que l’apodose ne saurait être protase, c’est-à-dire dès lors que l’apodose n’a pas la forme faʿala (accompli neutre du point de vue du temps) ou yafʿal (inaccompli apocopé). Toutefois, outre les innombrables cas où cette règle n’est pas respectée, fāʾ manquant là où il était attendu, son apparition ne répond pas qu’à une nécessité formelle, encore semble-t-elle répondre à une nécessité sémantique : indiquer qu’en sa présence la relation entre la protase p et l’apodose q ne relève pas de la logique mais de la pragmatique. Pour le dire autrement avec Larcher, fāʾ est fonctionnellement et fondamentalement un segmentateur qui marque une rupture pragmatique indiquant que l’énoncé se situe au niveau de la logique naturelle des actes de langage où l’énonciation de p est une cause pour l’énonciation de q. Là, différentes valeurs interprétatives se laissent entrevoir (concessive, déductive, justificative, oppositive, etc.). Ce papier se propose d’en ajouter une, causalo-inductive, et de montrer en quoi, après avoir rappelé une distinction fondamentale faite par la tradition arabe médiévale qui distingue entre fāʾ sababiyya (fāʾ causal) et fāʾ taʿlīliyya (fāʾ illatif), l’hypothèse d’une corrélation entre le type d’apodose, en fonction qu’il s’agit sémantiquement d’une assertion (iḫbār) ou non, et donc d’une performance (inšāʾ), et l’une des deux valeurs du fāʾ semble pertinente et fonctionnelle.","PeriodicalId":8163,"journal":{"name":"Arabica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46978276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To explore the treatment of this subject, which remains strikingly understudied, this article focuses on three fictional works by two Saudi writers, Badriyya l-Bišr and Laylā l-Ǧuhanī, who have boldly faced a grave matter with complex psychological and socio-political aspects in order to expose and redress the oppression directed towards not only slaves but their descendants and other black-skinned individuals, male and female. My research argues that both writers, employing literature as a platform for reform, reveal that to a mainstream, tribe-conscious, colour-conscious Arabian culture, black skin can still signify and invite tacit and open forms of stigmatization, denigration, and abuse. Using a multi-disciplinary approach, coupled with textual analyses, this paper shows that the novels aim to restore legitimacy and dignity to a social segment long degraded and objectified due to their race and skin colour.","PeriodicalId":8163,"journal":{"name":"Arabica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45810676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
