  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).

Core issues that will be addressed are various forms of crime and delinquency, law and normativity, criminal prosecution and justice, punishment and social control as well as sources and methodicalapproaches. We also invite contributions of scholars who would like to enter into a dialogue with researchers from the field of crime and criminal justice even though the mentioned topics would onlyconstitute a part of the respective projects.

  Work and family in an order-based society

  Intercultural dialogue and interdisciplinary perspectives

  L’atelier a pour objectif de proposer à des jeunes chercheurs français et allemands spécialisés en histoire et en histoire du droit un forum de discussion durant lequel ils pourront engager un dialogue interdisciplinaire et présenter leurs recherches sur les relations, les influences réciproques et les courants contraires entre les notions de travail et de famille du Moyen Âge central à la fin de l’époque moderne (vers 1100-1815). Ses trois angles d’approche - le phénomène de négociation des normes, les inégalités dans le travail, et l’influence du contexte politique, culturel et socio-économique - permettront aux participants d’investir le thème peu exploré des relations entre travail et famille dans le cadre d’une diversité sociale et culturelle.

En rassemblant des chercheurs sur ces deux objets d’étude, le colloque a pour objectif d’aborder une thématique encore peu explorée, celle de la corruption électorale.
