Queer Jewish Lives Between Central Europe and Mandatory Palestine
When queer Jewish people migrated from Central Europe to the Middle East in the first half of the 20th century, they contributed to the creation of a new queer culture and community in Palestine. This volume offers the first collection of studies on queer Jewish lives between Central Europe and Mandatory Palestine. While the first section of the book presents queer geographies, including Germany, Austria, Poland and Palestine, the second section …
Jews and Protestants
The book sheds light on various chapters in the long history of Protestant-Jewish relations, from the Reformation to the present. Going beyond questions of antisemitism and religious animosity, it aims to disentangle some of the intricate perceptions, interpretations, and emotions that have characterized contacts between Protestantism and Judaism, and between Jews and Protestants. While some papers in the book address Luther’s antisemitism and th…

The Confessing Subject and the Construction of Modern Catholic Selves
Historians and sociologists have argued that the practices of confession played a major role in the transition to modern, introspective individuality. Until the 1970s, tough, the literature had dealt mostly with Protestantism and Protestant modes of confession, first and foremost the practice of writing spiritual diaries and then reading and rereading them. The article looks at Catholic confessional practices and how they, too, have shaped modern…

Spiritual Physiologies
From the later Middle Ages throughout the early modern period, the biblical injunction to “test the spirits” became the subject of an increasing number of treatises and practical case studies. The phrase was understood as an imperative to verify whether the preternatural abilities claimed by some individuals—chiefly women—derived from a divine, or rather from a demonic, spiritual origin. Efforts to locate spirits within the body, to map their int…
Enchanted Europe
The history of superstitious beliefs, as Euan Cameron states provocatively but accurately in the introduction to this masterful survey of the history of superstition, cannot be written. Superstitious beliefs and practices are a disorganised bundle of traditions, some local and some global; some have their origins in folklore and others in Christian practices, some are particular and idiosyncratic acts while others are elements of a developed and …
Calvinist Miracles and the Concept of the Miraculous in Sixteenth-Century Huguenot Thought
This paper is a study of French Calvinism as a language. It was a language which employed the signifiers and the signs of the traditional Christian culture. There was persistent usages of key Catholic words in the theology of early Huguenot believers, regardless of their level of education or commitment to the cause. In an attempt to follow one such word (“miracle”: miracula or mirabilia), a large number of texts are examined, including Calvin’s …

Communicating with the Spirits
Focuses on the problem of communication with the other world: the phenomenon of spirit possession and its changing historical interpretations, the imaginary schemes elaborated for giving accounts of the journeys to the other world, for communicating with the dead, and finally the historical archetypes of this kind of religious manifestation—trance prophecy, divination, and shamanism.Recognized historians and ethnologists analyze the relationship,…
History as Voyeurism
Queen Marguerite de Valois of France (1533-1615) is among the most vilified characters in French history. Accused of incest, corruption, insatiable sexual desire, murders, treason, and direct responsibility for the political disintegration of France in the Sixteenth Century, her image has never stopped intriguing historians. The historical Marguerite, however, is overshadowed by the popular heroine of Alexandre Dumas's novel Queen Margot (1945). …
La mobilisation des saints dans la Fronde parisienne d'après les mazarinades
Dans les Temps modernes, des affrontements majeurs opposent les Parisiens entre eux. Ces conflits portèrent, entre autres, sur les dogmes les plus fondamentaux de la foi chrétienne. Le 16e siècle se caractérise, notamment, par des conflits ininterrompus entre catholiques et protestants; et, ultérieurement, entre catholiques modérés et extrémistes. Le 18e siècle connaît des affrontements entre jansénistes et jésuites ainsi qu'entre chrétiens, déis…
