Development of autonomies and promotion of minority rights are two fundamental components of a cultural and political strategy aimed at building a plural society, capable of valuing and benefiting from social, cultural, and religious differences.
The workshop aims to focus on the relationship between these two components, examining it with reference to the different types of minorities and autonomies. Indeed, not all minorities are the same: there are national, linguistic, religious (and many other) minorities, each with its own characteristics. And likewise, the notion of autonomy includes territorial, normative, jurisdictional, and institutional autonomies (just to name a few), which also differ in content and function.
These articulations of the two notions have already been the subject of in-depth analyses that have highlighted the specific features of the various types of minorities and autonomies. What, however, has remained more in the shadows is the relationship between each type of minority and each type of autonomy, that is whether and how much the element that qualifies a minority -nationality, language, religion- affects the type and content of the autonomy that minority claims with respect to a state where the majority belongs to a different nationality, speaks a different language, or professes a different religion.
The meeting aims at discussing the relationship between different forms of autonomy and different types of minorities, in particular the religious ones.
The seminar will be held in English.
The presentation will be in-person in the FBK Aula Piccola while seats last and online.
Registration by September 14, 2023 at 13:00 a.m. is required in order to arrange the connection.
