  “Aconchiar el mundo y reformar la Yglesia". Charles V and the religion

  "Riforma e Movimenti Religiosi" Journal n°6 (December 2019)

  In the 500^th anniversary of the imperial election of Charles V, the journal Riforma e Movimenti Religiosi intends to set up a monographic issue dedicated to one of the events that symbolically mark a rupture in European history, both for the confluence of boundless dominions under the Habsburg crown with its expansion on new seas and new continents and for the onset of the Protestant Reformation. These transformations gave rise to unprecedented links between politics and religion and "long term" consequences in the history of the old continent, destined to survive until today. It was then that myths of the past still alive, such as the authority of the imperial crown and the papal tiara as supreme guardians of the European Christianitas against the expansionism of the Ottoman empire, came to their final decline between bitter mutual conflicts.

  Predication, armies, violence and weapons in Europe in the wars of religion (1560-1715)

  Prédication, armées, violence des armes dans l’Europe des guerres de religion (1560-1715)

  Nell’Europa delle guerre di religione, sovente la predicazione assume il ruolo di detonatore della violenza ed è utilizzata come risorsa retorica‘disciplinante’, nell’intento di mantenere coesi e motivati eserciti divenuti anch’essi terreno di missione. Ai ministri riformati e al clero cattolico viene demandato il compito di motivare religiosamente la guerra, trasmettere il necessario zelo ai combattenti e assicurarne l’ordine. Malgrado occasionali convergenze, le risposte elaborate dai contrapposti fronti confessionali paiono spesso divergere. L’incontro intende analizzare, in una prospettiva comparata, le modalità con cui l’esercizio della predicazione e la presenza di predicatori e cappellani nelle armate hanno alimentato le dinamiche delle guerre confessionali.

  Conference, symposium - Middle Ages

  Images and Words in Exile

  Avignon and Italy in the First Half of the 14th Century, 1310-1352

  Ce colloque international et transdisciplinaire se propose de déployer la polysémie de l’exil dans la culture de l’Occident médiéval en se focalisant sur la première partie de la période avignonnaise, de la mission impériale d’Henri VII (1309-1313) jusqu’à la fin du pontificat de Clément VI (1352). Les travaux s'articulent en six séances, consacrées chacune à une acception différente de l’exil à ce moment historique. Un workshop sur d’autres projets de recherche en cours sur l’exil dans la culture médiévale, une Keynote lecture et deux visites sont également prévus dans le cadre de ce colloque.
