We test different scenarios for the spectral function and obtain a good description of the world data in the time-like region. The uncertainties in the extracted form factors are estimated by means of the bootstrap sampling method. The analytical continuation of the form factors to the space-like region introduces large errors due to the lack of data. When the electric $$\Lambda $$

Becoming and Belonging: Ethnic Identity Development of Young Children through Language Socialization
Authors: Seo Youngmin 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This article explores the role of language socialization in ethnic identity development among young U.S.-born Korean American children aged 4 and 5. The study design utilized an ethnographic approach to contextualize children’s overall language socialization at a community-based Korean heritage language school in California. The study examines how these children develop their ethnic identity while collectively learning Korean as a heritage language. Drawing on discourse analysis focused on social practices, the study analyzed classroom conversations between teacher and children, and between children. Findings show that learning Korean as a heritage language at a Korean heritage language school plays an important role in fostering the ethnic identity of young Korean American children. Moreover, they negotiate their ethnic identity as Korean American while using their Korean names and Korean honorifics in social interaction with others in the community. Theoretical perspectives and implications of these results are discussed.
The Role of the Will in Chatton’s and Ockham’s Theories of Consciousness
Authors: Gamboa Lydia Deni 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
According to Ockham and Chatton, every cognitive process through which one genuinely cognizes a mental state involves a reflexive act of the will. They think that such an act is necessary to explain why we do not genuinely cognize every present mental act. With respect to a present extra-mental thing, an act of the will can only be elicited once such thing has been intuitively apprehended, because according to both authors one cannot voluntarily desire something whose existence one does not know. However, with respect to mental acts, Ockham and Chatton maintain the opposite: an act of the will precedes the simple apprehension of a straight or direct act. As a consequence, in both theories of consciousness the same problem arises: how can the will want something that it does not know? This article presents Chatton’s and Ockham’s responses to this question.
Future Contingents and the Iterated Exchange
Authors: Bornholdt Jon 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
In his Reportatio super Sententias (ca. 1321–1323), Walter Chatton proposes a solution to the problem of future contingents based on propositional analysis. Future-tense statements must be disambiguated with the help of a scope distinction between temporal and truth operators, such that a statement like “Socrates will sit” comes out either as (1) “it is true now that Socrates will sit,” or (2) “it will be true that Socrates sits.” On the first analysis, Socrates’s action is necessitated, whereas on the second it remains contingent. In his later Quodlibet (ca. 1330), Chatton maintains his original analysis but augments it with an ingenious use of the traditional distinction between actus exercitus and actus significatus. His use of the distinction enables him both to give some speech-act-theoretical content to the scope analysis, which had been open to the charge of mere formalism, and to defend it cogently against an apparently strong counterargument.
Geraldus Odonis on Atomism
Authors: Marinca Andrei 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The Franciscan Geraldus Odonis (d. 1349) presented his indivisibilist theory of continua in Paris at a time when similar theses were advanced in the studia across the Channel. The Chancellor of the University of Oxford, Henry of Harclay (d. 1317), caused considerable stir among his colleagues by endorsing a mathematical atomism, and his most famous follower, Walter Chatton, O. F. M., developed his brand of atomism in the early 1320s. The present article focuses on one of the five different redactions of Odonis’s famous question De continuo, preserved in his commentary on Book ii of Peter Lombard’s Sentences (d. 44, q. 4). The first part of the article examines the main differences between the various redactions of the question De continuo. The second part explores the philosophical content and the circumstances surrounding the redaction found in Book ii of Odonis’s Sentences commentary. While acknowledging that Odonis’s atomism is similar to Harclay’s, it is argued that Odonis’s theory is a significant departure from the type of atomism espoused by Harclay. The Appendix provides the first complete critical edition of the said redaction of Odonis’s question De continuo.
Mary Magdalene and the Life of Judith in Life of Brian
Authors: Crossley James 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This article provides a snapshot of how Mary Magdalene was understood in 1970s Britain through the character of Judith in Monty Python’s Life of Brian. Judith as presented in Life of Brian is compared with Mary Magdalene as presented in Jesus Christ Superstar, especially the receptions of the hit musical in newspapers of the time where there was a recurring focus on sexuality and gender stereotypes. The comparison shows that, while Life of Brian may not be the most progressive film in terms of gender and sexuality, it did challenge some of these stereotypes about Mary Magdalene by normalizing Judith’s attitude towards sex and making her (largely) a voice of reason in the film.
Redeeming Mary, Redeeming Jesus
Authors: Rindge Matthew S. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This article argues that Martin Scorsese’s Mary Magdalene is as unique as Scorsese’s Jesus; she plays an integral role in the film, both in her own journey, and as a central catalyst in Jesus’ transformation. In these and other ways, The Last Temptation of Christ both redeems Mary Magdalene and portrays her as a redeemer of Jesus.
Problems Relating to Archiving Nikah Documents in Germany’s Arab Mosques
Authors: Jaraba Mahmoud 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
In this contribution, I examine how Arab imams in Germany draw up and archive documents pertaining to exclusively religious Islamic marriages (nikah). The absence of a central Islamic authority responsible for registering and safeguarding nikah documents in Germany has led to the emergence of a wide range of practices among Arab imams. These include formal registrations of nikahs on pre-printed forms kept in files, boxes or a storeroom; non-standardised documents issued and handled in various different ways; and orally concluded contracts with no documentary trail whatsoever. In this article, I describe and analyse the different approaches to and practices associated with conducting and recording nikahs among Arab imams. I found that some imams try to formalise the documentary trail with a view to protecting the religious rights of spouses and avoiding internal disputes, whereas others lack experience of institutionalised procedures, thus creating what might be described as archival chaos. I argue that, to reduce the likelihood of unintended consequences, a large number of imams in Germany would benefit from receiving help with professionalising their nikah practices and setting up sound mosque administrations and professionally run archives.
Turkish Mosque Archives in Industrial Towns in Southern Germany: An Ethnographic Survey
Authors: Jonker Gerdien , Elbel Isabel , Klein Arne , Klopke Jule , Müssig Stephanie , Schönstedt Jens , Ulbricht Victoria 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Starting from the thesis that European mosque archives offer important sources for the history of Muslims and Islam in Europe, this contribution presents results of a pilot survey into the whereabouts of mosque archives in Germany. Focusing on five small towns in industrial zones where predominantly Turkish contract workers have settled, we asked Turkish mosque administrators, chairmen and imams how they had handled papers in the past, whether and where they had stored folders that were not in use anymore, and what kind of documents their collections contained. What we found were various archival records in a wide and unexpected range of places. We also learned that our questions prompted very different reactions. Umbrella organisations understood their archives as tools for preserving the written sources documenting their origins, whereas local administrators tended to see them as records of their personal memories. Our conclusion is that the time is ripe for the development of knowledge about mosque archives in Germany and, with regard to the founding generation, this is of crucial importance.
Factors That Shape Mosque Archives
Authors: Müssig Stephanie 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
In most mosque archives, the subject range seems to be limited to bureaucratic matters. In this article I discuss the factors that are responsible for this constraint. Using academic literature on (Christian) religious and (ethnic) community archives, as well as relying on the research presented in this special issue, I develop a hierarchical (or multi-level) model of subject ranges in mosque archives by considering factors at the individual, intermediate, and system level. I argue that the individual dispositions of mosque leaders regarding resources and attitudes, as well as funds at the intermediate level, are key to the maturing of the archiving culture in mosques.
Overviewing a Century. The Lahore-Ahmadiyya Mosque Archive in Berlin
Authors: Jonker Gerdien 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
In 1923, Ahmadiyya Anjuman Ishaat ve Islam with headquarters in Lahore (hereafter: Lahore-Ahmadiyya) sent the pedagogue Maulvi Sadr-ud-Din to Berlin commissioned to erect a mosque, create a mission and enter in conversation with the Europeans. The European mission was a comprehensive answer to the challenge that the British Empire presented to Muslims. In their hometown, Lahore, Lahore-Ahmadiyya aimed at comparing religions in order to push back British missionaries and disprove Christian claims to superiority. Adapting to the German setting, which in the years to come would swiftly move from democratic to nationalistic politics, the mission in Berlin created many variations on that theme. Today, the mosque registry, holding records of almost 100 years of administration, bears witness to the efforts of the missionaries to explain to various German audiences their view of Islam. An important source for Muslim history in Germany, the archive highlights such different research subjects as Muslim modernity at work, the language of secular Islam, Indian-German approximations, conversion, and mixed marriage. In 2018, it was donated to the National Archive in Berlin, where the approximately 70,000 documents and 5,000 photographs were made available for research. This contribution offers an analysis of the contents.
Mosque Archives and a Muslim Collective Memory in Formation
Authors: Agai Bekim 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Looking at the fragmented documents of Muslim community life at mosques, bringing together different types of materials and creating mosque archives is a challenging endeavour, as shown by the contributions in this volume. This contribution asks for the implication the archives, once collected and considered as parts of a larger picture, can have for the formation of a Muslim collective memory. Connecting different archives – with their singular experiences – into collective forms of memory, similar experiences and ruptures come to the surface and a new perspective on a shared German history is articulated. As the collective memory is a reservoir to understand the past, giving meaning to the present, and a source for the future, this process has a social and political dimension. The process of creating a Muslim collective memory will fill blanks within German history and add new chapters, but will at the same time change Muslim self-perception and self-positioning by recentring their sometimes ambiguous experiences within a larger setting.
Mosque Archives of the 1950s in Focus
Authors: Chbib Raida , Matuschik Julius 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This contribution aims at illuminating Muslim community life in the 1950s in Germany with the help of photographs. In 2020, probing into a research field that until then was largely terra incognita, the photojournalist Julius Matuschik with the support of a sociologist of religion, Raida Chbib, contacted mosques they knew had been built in the 1960s and wrote to 100 city archives in search of photographic and other evidence. In this way, photograph collections and paper records of religious gatherings and activities of Muslims in Berlin, Munich, Aachen, Hamburg, Frankfurt and Schwetzingen (Mannheim) were identified and brought into communication with one another. Offering unique visual insights in each of these places, this article shows that Muslim religious infrastructures were established long before the arrival of the so-called guest workers and that Muslim religious life in the 1950s was broader than has hitherto been suggested. Moreover, a blind spot was revealed when gathering detailed information about a congregation in the 1950s in the architecturally remarkable mosque building in the garden of the Schwetzingen Palace.
How Sherwin Carlquist turned long-distance dispersal research into a field of empirical and experimental enquiry
Authors: Renner Susanne S. 
Published: December 2022

Summary
While Sherwin J. Carlquist (1930–2021) did not originate the concept of long-distance dispersal and its role in evolution — a major pillar in Darwin’s theory (1859) — he almost single-handedly turned research on dispersal to insular habitats into an empirical and experimental research area. This contribution explains how and why this occurred based on Carlquist’s own papers and personal account, and provides a brief assessment of the historical context of his research on long-distance dispersal. I end on a personal note; in 1981, when I was a graduate student, Carlquist participated in a symposium on ‘Dispersal and Distribution’ in Hamburg, and the paper he gave there on intercontinental dispersal greatly influenced my own work.
An African Perspective on the Nature of Mind: Reflections on Yoruba Contextual Dualism
Authors: Balogun Babalola Joseph , Oyelakin Richard Taye 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The problem of the nature of mind has lingered for a long time. Generated by the question of whether the mind is an independently existing entity or merely an aspect of bodily events and processes, the problem of the nature of mind has divided Western philosophers into two opposing camps, namely dualism and physicalism. Contemporary discourse of the nature of minds, within the Western philosophical tradition, continues to privilege physicalism over dualism, because it avoids the theoretical impasse engendered by the dualist inability to account for how two radically different entities manage to interact with each other. Although physicalism avoids the dualist pitfalls, it, however, encounters the problem of plausibly accounting for the possibility of conscious experience without commitment to the dualist ontology of a realm different from the body. In this article, we provide an African (Yoruba) perspective to the question of the nature of mind as an alternative to the Western perspective represented by dualist and physicalist theories. We develop a variant of dualism called “contextual dualism,” which accepts the dualist basic tenet of the duality of body and mind but diverges from it by permitting that some physical organs of the body also function in the capacity of the mind. Using ethnological analysis and the Yoruba linguistic hermeneutics as theoretical frameworks, the paper argues that the difference between when a physical organ functions as body and when it functions as mind is revealed in Yoruba language through their contexts of use. The paper concludes that contextual dualism drives a reconciliatory wedge between mainstream dualism and physicalism.
Two Forms of Conditionality of Intercultural Understanding and Three Contemporary Responses
Authors: Ennen Timo 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Building on a distinction between two kinds of skepticism recently worked out by the American philosopher James Conant, we can differentiate the question of how to overcome the gap between two cultural horizons in intercultural dialogue from the question of how there could even be such dialogue, irrespective of its method, success or failure. While the first question concerns practical conditionality, that is, something we as philosophers have to achieve, the second question concerns transcendental conditionality. After making this distinction clear, the paper presents three cases of recent scholarship on intercultural dialogue, each of which can be read as a response to those two forms of conditionality of intercultural understanding. Those cases are Jean-Yves Heurtebise’s notion of a “transcultural” philosophy, Eric S. Nelson’s work on “intercultural philosophy,” and Kwok-Ying Lau’s concept of a “cultural flesh.” However, while speaking to both forms of conditionality, they tend not to distinguish sufficiently their responses to the two problematics.
A Curious Case of Cultural Encounter: The Appropriation of Kant’s Philosophy through Contemporary Neo-Confucianism
Authors: Shi Weimin 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
In this paper, Mou Zongsan’s (牟宗三, 1909–1995 CE) Kantian interpretation of Confucianism will be surveyed with a focus on Mou’s ideas of moral metaphysics and autonomy. After a brief account of the development of Confucianism up to the Song dynasty (960–1279 CE) and Ming dynasty (1368–1644 CE) (§1) and some initial attempts to articulate Confucian ideas in terms of Western philosophy (§2), Mou’s Kantian interpretation of Confucianism will be presented in §3 and criticized in §4. It is argued that Mou uses the Kantian dichotomy of autonomy and heteronomy to describe the traditional rivalry between two primary schools of Neo-Confucianism. While Mou neglects Kant’s claim that the autonomy of the will gives the principle by means of which it is to determine the content of the moral law, he appeals to Kant’s idea that human beings as free agents are members of the intelligible world to propose a Confucian moral metaphysics. In §5, Mou’s Confucianism’s metaphysical and religious characteristics are further criticized.
Maṣlaḥa as “Flourishing” and Its Place in Sunnī Political Thought
Authors: Fadel (محمد فاضل) Mohammad 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Modern Muslim reformers have made regular appeals to maṣlaḥa (well-being) and maqāṣid al-sharīʿa (the purposiveness of the law) in justifying numerous reform proposals. These arguments have proven to be controversial, not only among traditional Muslim scholars, but also western scholars of Islam who argue that these concepts were always marginal to the enterprise of Islamic law, and that the ubiquity with which arguments are now made in the name of maṣlaḥa and maqāṣid al-sharīʿa are little more than utilitarianism. This article distinguishes between the controversial position of maṣlaḥa and maqāṣid al-sharīʿa in theology (kalām) and theoretical jurisprudence (uṣūl al-fiqh) and its ubiquity in substantive law (fiqh) to argue that jurists took for granted the purposiveness of the law in their immanent practices of formulating detailed rules. I argue that this reflects the political or social dimension of the law, and it applies a fortiori to the rules governing political office. I argue that maṣlaḥa, should be understood as a particular kind of flourishing rather than a form of utility and this is reflected in the teleological nature of juristic reasoning in substantive law. Using this framework, I analyze the rules of the caliphate and consider what the “maṣlaḥa” of the political is – i.e., what does it mean for the political to “flourish” – from the perspective of Sunnī law.
Not Just a Simple Civil Servant: The Right of Access to a Court of Judges in the Recent Case Law of the ECtHR
Authors: Leloup Mathieu 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This article discusses the right of access to a court in the most recent case law of the European Court of Human Rights, more particularly the application of the so-called Eskelinen-test in the context of cases concerning domestic Judges. The Court appears to have established a new approach to this test, which considerably raises the bar to exclude Judges from access to a court when disputes about their status or career are concerned. First, the article discusses this new approach, suggesting that the reason for it can be found in the current rule of law landscape in Europe and highlighting its potential for future rule of law related cases. Yet, it equally points out how the test gives the final say in disputes about the status or career of Judges to Judges themselves, which creates potential issues of internal judicial independence, and may skew sensitive systems of balance of powers.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
The Old Wood in a New Light database project focuses on the digitization and accessibility of the results of dendrochronological samples analyzed and archived at four Swedish university-based tree-ring laboratories at Lund University, Stockholm University, University of Gothenburg, and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. Collaboration with the Environmental Archaeology Laboratory and Humlab at Umeå University enables long-term open access to data, raw data, and metadata. In this project, we (1) systematically undertake large-scale entry and open access publication of results from wood samples scientifically analyzed and archived by Swedish laboratories and the associated metadata, into the Strategic Environmental Archaeology Database (SEAD; www.sead.se) research data infrastructure, and (2) actively promote the database as a resource for new and ongoing interdisciplinary research initiatives. Including dendrochronological data in SEAD infrastructure allows interdisciplinary studies that combine major scientific and societal questions. Building on a pilot study of construction timber from southern Sweden and adaptation of SEAD digitization workflows, more than 70 000 samples archived at the four dendrochronological laboratories are now being handled in the project. The broad coverage of research networks, stakeholder interaction, and strategic support from the cultural heritage community is guaranteed owing to the ongoing collaboration between laboratories and an established international and multidisciplinary reference group.
