    Conference, symposium - Modern

    Cardinals and cardinal-ship, an elite and the challenge of modernity (1775-1978)

    Second season: cardinals, between court and curia

    Si l’actualité place souvent les cardinaux sous les feux des projecteurs et si les historiens s’intéressent régulièrement à certaines figures de « grands » cardinaux, la fonction cardinalice et les logiques internes au corps des cardinaux restent largement méconnus, surtout pour la période contemporaine. Ce projet sur les cardinaux vise à combler cette lacune historiographique. Après une première rencontre à Paris en juin 2014 (consacrée aux sources, aux méthodes et aux différentes approches disciplinaires de ce corps d'élite), cette seconde rencontre a Rome traitera du cardinalat et des cardinaux entre cour pontificale et curie romaine, envisageant en premier lieu les cardinaux en tant que membres et acteurs d’une société de cour puis leurs fonctions au sein de l’ensemble institutionnel de la curie.

    Merchants, jurists and other "intermediate groups" in Early Modern Southern Europe

    Merchants, farmers, jurists, clerks in large institutions, secretaries, independent landowners, local elites and highly sought master craftsmen, among many others, are individuals with an ambiguous social status. Looking at who was not born exactly noble, nor exactly commoner, but stood on the border between one world and the other, is one of the goals of this initiative. As part of a project developed in Portugal focusing on the Holy Office’s familiaturas, it will be held on September 16 and 17, 2015, a workshop at Escuela Española de Historia and Archaeological in Rome. Our aim is to select a total of 8 applicants, that will be joined by 4 guest speakers, for a joint reflection on the dynamics and profiles of ‘intermediate groups’, as well as on the methodologies for their study in Early Modern Times.
