  Augustine, Augustinians and Augustinianisms in the Italian Trecento

  Se l’importanza di Agostino per alcuni autori trecenteschi italiani è fatto auto-evidente, basti pensare a Francesco Petrarca che lo scelse come suo inquisitore e guida spirituale nel Secretum, la lunga durata di questa influenza nel corso del secolo è ancora in gran parte da esplorare, a partire dal caso più contestato, quello di Dante Alighieri. Parallelamente questo convegno s’interesserà al modo in cui l’attività dei membri dell’OESA ha plasmato la vita culturale peninsulare nel corso del secolo e contribuirà a rimettere in questione le categorie storiografiche di agostinismo e anti-agostinismo.

  The Dominicans and the Making of Florentine Cultural Identity

  Influences and Interactions between Santa Maria Novella and the Commune of Florence (1293-1313)

  Florence, the celebrated city-republic, dominates the historiography of medieval Italy still today. Her glory and crises define the paradigm for investigating other medieval city-states. As attention to medieval cities has increased, so too the history of the Dominican Order has constituted a major field of study, since the Dominicans were at the forefront of the cultural and religious life of Medieval cities. This conference intends to analyse the reciprocal influences and interactions between the activities and works of this constellation of Dominican intellectuals and the making of Florentine cultural identity through the social and political events that consumed the public life of the Commune between 1293 and 1313.

  Mort violente 1300-1800

  Traverse. Revue d'histoire suisse 2/2008

  Bien que depuis les travaux de Philippe Ariès la mort ait été reconnue comme un objet d’histoire, la recherche historique ne s’est guère préoccupée du thème spécifique de la mort violente. Ce désintérêt paraît d’autant moins justifié que les relations d’une société avec le phénomène de la mort violente rendent compte de l’évolution de ses valeurs — que ce soit sur le plan de l’éthique, de la religion ou encore du rituel.
