  Questioning the Crime of Witchcraft

  Definitions, Receptions and Realities (14th-16th Centuries)

  In the last decades, the multiplications of works in the field of Witchcraft Studies made it possible to profoundly renew the approaches and the study designs of the repression of witchcraft in the late Middle Ages and in the beginning of the Early Modern Era. Consequently, research has substantially specified the methods and configurations (ideological, political and doctrinal) that contribute to the genesis of the “witch-hunt”. Research also uncovered that the repression of witchcraft could take a number of different forms depending on the contexts, the spaces studied, the sources and the aims they seem to pursue. It underlines the extreme plasticity of the accusation of witchcraft and the categories of such a crime. Hence, the conference aims to focus the discussions on three main areas: the definition of the crime of witchcraft, its different receptions and the question of its reality.

  Mediterranean masculinities (12th-17th centuries)

  « Genesis. Rivista della Società italiana delle Storiche » (XX/1, 2021)

  Genesis. Revue de la Société italienne des historiennes invite les chercheur(e)s à présenter des contributions pour un numéro monographique consacré aux masculinités méditerranéennes aux périodes tardo-médiévale et moderne. L’objectif de ce numéro est d’étudier dans toute leur diversité les masculinités qui se sont succédées ou qui ont coexisté dans différents contextes (géographiques, culturels, politiques et religieux) méditerranéens d’une part, et les manières dont elles se sont négociées – en prêtant attention aux différents groupes sociaux et aux différentes classes d’âge – au cours d’une période s’étirant du XII^e siècle à la première modernité.
