The present book investigates the social and religious history of the Portuguese-Jewish community of Hamburg during what may have been the most important period of its history - the second half of the seventeenth century. The political and economic rise of this small but influential community of New Christian bankers and merchants is analysed against the backdrop of its institutional dynamics, in an overall perspective never before conceived. The political, religious, economic, legal, charitable and disciplinary history of the community is thus explored through the analysis of the protocol books of the Portuguese Nation of Hamburg, written between 1652 and 1682. This is the intimate and fascinating journey of their everyday lives, hopes and challenges, as brought to us by their leaders.

Les sociétés traditionnelles connaissent-elles l’amour ? Le débat demeure toujours ouvert entre la position de certains courants en sciences humaines (sociologie, anthropologie…) pour qui seul l’Occident connaîtrait l’amour, et celle défendue par les littéraires et les psychologues, qui soutiennent le contraire. Entre ces deux tendances, cet ouvrage rend compte des multiples compromis opérés par différentes sociétés d’Asie (Chine, Corée, Japon, Népal, Inde) et de l’Océan Indien (Madagascar) pour naviguer entre des expressions individuelles de l’amour, s’inspirant des pratiques occidentales, et les normes sociales qui les contrôlent fortement. Les enquêtes ethnographiques menées sur les pratiques en vigueur de nos jours montrent comment ces compromis s’expriment toujours dans des « institutions de l’amour » menant la plupart du temps au mariage. Ces institutions se manifestent dans trois domaines : le choix du conjoint, l'expression des sentiments amoureux et les rites de mariage. Si les individus de ces sociétés font maintenant de « l’amour romantique » une de leurs valeurs, il n’en reste pas moins qu'ils doivent l'accorder aux traditions familiales. Dans cette composition, le sentiment amoureux, loin d’être une élaboration individuelle, est socialement construit et participe de l’ordre social. Do traditional societies know love? The debate is still open between certain currents in the social sciences (sociology, anthropology) which hold that only the West knows what love is, and the position defended by literature and psychology that takes an opposite viewpoint. Between these two tendencies, this work presents the multiple compromises adopted by several Asian (China, Korea, Japan, Nepal and India) and Indian Ocean (Madagascar) societies to navigate through individual expressions of love inspired by occidental practice, and the social norms that exert such profound control over them. Ethnographic research into todays’ practices show how these compromises emerge…

More than a reconstruction of the coordinates of his research, the purpose of this collection is the testimony of a community that approached Giuseppe Acocella, recognizing the prestige of his magisterium. His interests, so diversified, would not have lent themselves to an exegetical reconstruction: rather, we have drawn from the"alive" of his reflections, to the extent that he was able to inspire everyone's research. Moral philosopher, philosopher of the law, philosopher of politics, he was formed starting from the teaching of Capograssi and preferred to direct his reflection on the Lebenswelt, rather than on that formal dimension that would have allowed us a dogmatic reading. Starting from individual inclinations, we wanted to testify to the closeness and significance that Giuseppe Acocella's teaching has played in the search for each one: the topics addressed, which question civil life in its formal and material aspects, reflect the multifaceted tension that only a masterful thinker can inspire.

"This edited volume explores different aspects of associative governance, providing detailed case studies of associations and associational governance in Nordic societies. Theoretically developing a concept of associative governance, the book sheds light on a dynamic way of perceiving associative aspects of community and commercial life that has been hitherto underexplored and undertheorized. It shows how governance by associations may be conducted by both bottom-up self-organized and voluntary participation and top-down authoritative incorporation, as well as interstices in between. Finally, it provides research-based knowledge about how to maintain "good political and economic institutions" in the future and a more holistic and dynamic approach to the literature on Nordic governance and associations. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of Nordic and Scandinavian studies, history, sociology, political science, marketing, social policy, organization theory and public management"--
