  Intellectuals and the idea of Empire in the Middle Ages (9th-16th centuries)

  L'idée d'empire apparaît bien en amont de la période médiévale. Née au cœur de la royauté akkadienne, elle est cependant reprise au Moyen Âge dans l'Occident chrétien et subit l'influence du souvenir de la domination romaine. Le pouvoir universel, à la fois revendiqué par l’Église et par l'Empire devient une source de conflits qui placent au centre des débats les intellectuels. Ceux-ci alimentent les réflexions sur cette idée, tendant à la soutenir ou à la circonscrire. Étudier l'idée impériale au Moyen Âge, c'est également la confronter aux multiples transformations qu'a connu le milieu des savants. Trois séries de questions sont amenées à être développées au cours de ce colloque : les contextes des sources de l'idée impériale des productions textuelles au discours d'ambassades, les discours sur l'idée impériale sans négliger le corpus juridique qui encadre le concept. Enfin, les profils sociaux, intellectuels et personnels penseurs de l'idée impériale seront au cœur de la réflexion.

  Governance of the Universal Church after the Council of Trent – Two PhD positions - Max Planck Research Group

  The Max Planck Research Group III investigates the emergence and development of the system of post-Tridentine global governance of the Catholic Church in depth from an interdisciplinary perspective over an extended period of time. It will do so by analysing the activity of the Congregations of the Council, the dicastery responsible for appropriately implementing the Council decisions in the entire Catholic world.  We are now looking to recruit as soon as possible (but no later than 1 April 2019) two doctoral students who will develop a doctoral thesis preferably focused on the history of the Congregation of the Council in the early modern period (XVI-XVIII century).

It will cover both the origins of the discussion on universal suffrage and the struggle surrounding its introduction in the Grand Duchy as well as its establishment in the years 1917-1919 and its effects in the following decades.
