Disunions. Church-initiated separation of couples in the Catholic world (12th c. - 21st c.)
"What God has joined together, let no one separate" (Mk 10:2-16). In certain circumstances, the Catholic Church may however exercise this right, usually at the request of one of the spouses, but sometimes on its own initiative. Although canon law does not recognize divorce, since the Middle Ages representatives of the Church have endeavored to bring about the separation of certain couples. All these unions have been considered by the Church to be in contradiction to canon law, ecclesiastical discipline, the definition of Christian marriage or Christian morality. Recent scholarship has enabled us to gain a better understanding of matrimonial separations initiated by the spouses in the Middle Ages and the Modern period. The objective of this workshop is to tackle a rarer case, one that has scarcely been addressed by historians to date: that of separations initiated by the Church.

Rome
Despite their numerical preponderance among the missionary workforce exercising a Christian apotolate at the end of the Ottoman Empire, women have long attracted less work than men. A rebalancing is in progress, spurred on by the gender studies and extended to the whole Muslim world. We will focus on real encounter and conflict situations, avoiding an essentialist approach to Islam and considering the extreme diversity of the field strategies and practices. This approach will be carried out in equal parts, in a decentering and critical way, far from denominational approaches.

Missionary strategies and practices, slavery and forced labour (early 19th-mid 20th century)
Another discussion on the institutional position of the churches in relation to slavery will be resolutely avoided. What will be analysed is the concrete confrontation —or cohabitation— with slavery. What did missionaries know about their slave environment? How did they learn about it? How did they take a stand? How did they act–or not? Same questions as far as indentured labour and the colonial forms of forced labour were concerned. Were there confrontations, mediations and misunderstandings?

Analysis of relics, hagiographic legends and Carolingian memories
Around the body of the Apostle James the Greater in Toulouse
Since the 14th century, the Basilica of Saint-Sernin in Toulouse has been proud to possess the entire body of James the Greater. After a first preparatory seminar on 11 March 2019 in Toulouse (Vraies et fausses reliques: un vrai faux problème), a workshop was held on 10 December 2021 (Les reliques toulousaines de Jacques le Majeur), focusing on the material aspects (examination of bones, reliquaries, and authentic items). In a final stage, the results of these analyses should be put into perspective during a meeting which would lead to the writing of a monograph bringing together all the studies carried out on the relics of Saint James in Toulouse.

The Prince and the Church in Renaissance Europe
Princely Acts as Sources for Ecclesiastical History
Religious history of the Renaissance has, without a doubt, been one of the fields of predilection of historians in recent decades. Various sources have been used to develop the field (registers/proceedings of ecclesiastical institutions, of tribunals and of urban institutions; notarial registers; correspondences of princes and of their representatives, those of cities, of bourgeois and of theologians, diaries and memoirs of contemporaries; theological treaties; etc.).

Producción y reproducción de narrativas rituales en el catolicismo americano
XVII Congreso latinoamericano de religion y etnicidad : movilidad religiosa y conflicto. Patrimonio cultural y turismo
La religion en tant que réalité sociale s'est historiquement manifestée à travers des actes dans lesquels les personnes se réunissent périodiquement pour exprimer des croyances partagées. Pour ce symposium nous encourageons l'envoi de propositions basées sur des travaux de terrain et rendant compte de l'héritage de l'évangélisation dans le catholicisme latino-américain, afin de montrer les espaces publics et privés dans lesquels se célèbrent et se matérialisent de nouveaux langages communs - artistiques, symboliques, gestuels - qui font des pratiques religieuses l'expression d'une société dans un contexte particulier, à un moment précis de son histoire, non pas comme des manifestations de syncrétisme, mais plutôt comme des processus d'intégration sociale, à travers lesquels plusieurs cultures s'influencent mutuellement.

The implantation of new religious phenomena in the Iberian peninsula (3rd-11th century AD)
Acceptances, refusals and compromises
La péninsule Ibérique possède cette particularité d’avoir été le terrain de rencontres entre différentes cultures et à ce titre le théâtre de contacts entre divers systèmes religieux, particulièrement durant l’Antiquité et le Moyen Âge. De même que la réalité du mythe de la convivencia entre les trois religions monothéistes après 711 a été largement remise en question par une étude précise des sources, l’implantation successive de nouvelles religions, phénomène complexe et diversifié, semble mériter un réexamen.

Religious encounters - between coexistence and cohabitation
Dans la continuité du colloque international, « Pouvoir, expressions et représentations », organisé au sein du Calhiste en 2015, le colloque international Rencontres religieuses : entre coexistence et cohabitation invite les chercheurs américains et espagnols, et des sphères culturelles qui leur sont proches, à se pencher sur les notions de laïcité, de religion, et sur les rapports que celles-ci peuvent entretenir avec les institutions politiques ou spirituelles. Nous aborderons également les notions de cohabitation et de coexistence, aussi bien d’un point de vue diachronique que synchronique, en prêtant une attention particulière aux arguments et aux contextes qui rendent possibles ces rencontres ou qui, au contraire, provoquent des confrontations entre les différents points de vue.

Five Centuries of Cultural Influence
Generations of scholars have studied the multi-faceted experiences of the Franciscans in Mexico and the ways in which the Franciscan order shaped New Spain and the early Mexican republic. This conference examines the range of Franciscan influence and analyzes new scholarship that focuses on the multiple discourses with which friars engaged native peoples, creole populations, the vice-regal authorities, and other actors throughout the Spanish empire. The conference brings together junior and senior scholars to study the long Franciscan experience in Mexico on the eve of the commemoration of the quincentenary of the Spanish — and thus the Franciscan— presence in Mexico.

Imágenes, devociones y prácticas religiosas
La Europa del sur (1800-1960)
Este coloquio pretende analizar las modalidades de difusión de las imágenes devocionales en el marco de la evolución de las prácticas religiosas en Europa en los siglos XIX y XX, cuyas repercusiones sociales y culturales en la Europa mediterránea fueron considerables, aunque aún poco exploradas por la historiografía contemporánea española. Para ello, este encuentro reúne a los principales especialistas europeos con el fin de ahondar en temas como el auge de las peregrinaciones; la producción industrial de imágenes piadosas y su circulación entre las clases populares; el fomento por la iglesia de nuevos cultos; la confrontación entre modernidad laica y devociones y ritos tradicionales o el vandalismo iconoclasta.

Writing under constraint. Mystics, contemplatives and the spectre of the judge
Discursive practices and strategies. Spain, Portugale, Latin America (15th-18th centuries)
Ce numéro des Cahiers d'études des cultures ibériques et latino-américaines (CECIL) invite ainsi à s'interroger à l’époque moderne sur les stratégies d'écriture, de réécriture et de construction du discours afin de mystifier les censeurs de la fin du Moyen Âge et de la modernité. Par delà les pratiques d'écriture propres aux auteurs mystiques et ascétiques, les contribution d'études replaceront la médiatisation du texte ascétique dans son rapport à la norme juridique et canonique.

Two religions beneath the same roof
The history of pluri-confessional families in the Middle Ages in the Iberian Peninsula
Ces journées d’étude abordent des questions portant sur les familles à composante pluri-religieuse. Nonobstant les travaux consacrés aux groupes religieux dans les sociétés multiconfessionnelles qui, le plus souvent, opposent ces « communautés » présentées comme des blocs monolithiques, l’histoire a le devoir de mettre au jour le vécu singulier de chaque individu. L’étude des minorités ne peut se réduire au collectif, au général. Si l’historien aime à dresser des tableaux synoptiques d’une période, d’un lieu, ici l’occasion sera offerte de s’interrogersur ces stratégies discursives. Le groupe religieux d’appartenance des individus peut constituer un tout, mais n’oublions pas que les familles et les individus en réalisent les parties.

Hamsa. Journal of Judaic and Islamic Studies, nº 2
“Purity” and “Impurity” establish themselves as structural categories in both Islam and Judaism, embracing dimensions as diverse as the body, food, clothing and even space itself. The 2nd issue of the journal Hamsa will be devoted to this wide-ranging theme, seeking to obtain diachronic historical perspectives. To this effect, we aim to promote the analysis of interfaith relationships, in those instances where purity and impurity are projected in contacts with the Other. Those dimensions concern not only the minorities, but also affect Christianitas itself, through interiorization of these concepts and their application to minority communities (as is the case, for example, with limpeza de sangue - “cleanliness of blood”).
