This chapter on the concept and practice of tolerance makes use of the legal case Begum together with three other cases from the same period: X v Y, Playfoot and Watkins-Singh. The chapter analyses the debates about the cases in two broadsheets: The Guardian and The Telegraph. The cases all concerned the rights of schoolgirls in state schools to wear particular kinds of religious clothing and symbols: two different versions of the hijab, a Christian purity ring, and a Sikh bangle. Examining the way tolerance and difference and identity are articulated across the debates about the four cases, I show how lines of inclusion and exclusion are articulated, existing side by side and competing within the same representational space of British multiculturalism.

In the Qur'an we find different concepts of trust situated within different ethical discourses. A rather unambiguous ethico-religious discourse of the trust relationship between the believer and God can be seen embodied in conceptions of tawakkul. God is the absolute wakīl, the guardian, trustee or protector. Consequently He is the only holder of an all-encompassing trusteeship, and the normative claim upon the human being is to trust God unconditionally. There are however other, more polyvalent, conceptions of trust. The main discussion in this article evolves around the conceptions of trust as expressed in the polysemic notion of amāna, involving both trust relationships between God and man and inter-human trust relationships. This concept of trust involves both trusting and being trusted, although the strongest and most explicit normative claim put forward is on being trustworthy in terms of social ethics as well as in ethico-religious discourse. However, ‘trusting’ when it comes to fellow human beings is, as we shall see, framed in the Qur'an in less absolute terms, and conditioned by circumstantial factors; the Qur'anic antithesis to social trust is primarily betrayal, ‘khiyāna’, rather than mistrust.

Abstract In this paper authors describe in details a system dedicated to scene configuration. The user can define different important 2D regions of the scene. There is a possibility to define the following kinds of regions: flour, total covering, down covering, up covering, middle covering, entrance/exit, protected area, prohibited area, allowed direction, prohibited direction, reflections, moving objects, light source, wall and sky. The definition of this regions is very important to further analysis of live stream camera data in the guardian video system.

Sobre Todo

El problema de las mujeres (Anagrama, 2017) es la última obra de Jacky Fleming (Londres, 1955). Esta británica, poco conocida en España, lleva décadas publicando sus viñetas de humor gráfico en medios como The Independent o The Guardian. En este pequeño libro, un breve ensayo en clave satírica, aplica su mirada ácida sobre la historia de los últimos siglos, desde una perspectiva que podría considerarse cercana a la herstory, pero que, sobre todo, busca poner de manifiesto lo absurdo de toda una serie de planteamientos machistas revestidos de una pátina de cientifismo.
