The Monastic Dimension of Identity Politics
Über Religion entscheiden/Choosing my Religion
Kann man über Religion entscheiden? Obwohl Religion in der Vormoderne häufig jenseits des Bereichs menschlicher Wahlentscheidungen verortet wurde, war sie in verschiedenen historischen Konstellationen immer wieder Gegenstand individueller sowie kollektiver Entscheidungen. Doch welche Formen des Entscheidens über religiöse Fragen gab es überhaupt? Wie veränderten sie sich zwischen Mittelalter und Früher Neuzeit? Was folgt aus der Fokussierung auf …
Rhetorische Spaltungen
Within the high medieval Latin church, rhetorical attacks not only targeted external enemies and heretics, but also (and perhaps especially) the clergy itself and the emerging new religious orders. For the period c. 1100–1300, these intense bouts of invectivity can be understood to form part of larger processes of inner pluralization of the Latin church, in which established forms of rhetorical disparagement, traditionally used against heretics, …
Historicizing the Religious Field
As historians of religion are currently diagnosing a need to find new shared frameworks and new narratives enabling interdisciplinary and trans-epochal exchange, the article suggests a closer historical engagement with theories of the “religious field”, originally formulated by Pierre Bourdieu on the basis of Max Weber’s work, as this theory has the potential to serve as a meta-language for interdisciplinary communication. The article sets out th…
The Religious Field during the Long Fifteenth Century
Introducing a thematic section, this article presents an overview and some of the theoretical considerations resulting from COST Action IS 1301, an international research network devoted to the study of lay religious culture during the long fifteenth century. A particular aim of this network was to discuss new European narratives framing the important transformations of lay religious culture during the period c. 1350–1550—a complex historical pro…
New Religious Movements before Modernity
Can the study of new religious movements be extended historically towards a longue durée history of religious innovation? Several sociological theories suggest that fundamental differences between premodern and modern religious configurations preclude this, pointing to a lack of religious diversity and freedom of religion in premodern centuries. Written from a historical perspective, this article questions this view and suggests historical religi…
Verging on the polemical. Towards an interdisciplinary approach to medieval religious polemic
The present article attempts to take stock of the different definitions and connotations of the concept of religious »polemic« in order to encourage a more interdisciplinary debate on this topic. It argues that the interdisciplinary research fields engaging with religious polemics could generate important historical perspectives on current conflict cultures, and appear to be on the verge of an expansion of the horizon towards the global, connecti…
