« Dans les quinze dernières années, les médiévistes ont fait avancer le féminisme […] au même titre que les théoriciens contemporains »[1] : après les propos de Madeline Caviness en 2009, et aux côtés des apports scientifiques anglo-saxons, en particulier américains, quels sont aujourd’hui dans la pensée européenne les relations des littératures du Moyen Âge avec les approches féministes, entre études de genre, études queer, études intersectionnelles et savoirs situés ? Cette réflexion, que Perspectives Médiévales avait choisi d’engager en 2024, a rencontré en France avec le colloque rennais « Les littératures médiévales dans l’atelier du genre » et la journée d’étude parisienne « Les corpus médiévaux dans l’atelier du genre » une riche actualité scientifique. Il a donc semblé opportun d’accueillir dans ce numéro une partie des communications données lors de ces deux événements, pour une réflexion théorique et transversale sur l’incidence réciproque des études féministes et des textes médiévaux. Exceptionnellement double, le n°45-46 de la revue donne ainsi à lire et à entendre sous des formats variés (articles, tables rondes, enregistrements, ateliers d’écriture) les voix de chercheur·euses de toutes les générations, pour une réflexion qu’il espère stimulante sur les questions de sexe, de sexualité et d’identité de genre dans les textes anciens. Ces travaux et études sont autant d’invitations à un dialogue fécond et tolérant entre les acteur·rices de la recherche scientifique, pour une saisie des féminismes contemporains éclairée par la plongée dans le Moyen Âge et ses représentations.

Appel à contribution – Creeds, Councils and Canons. 2025 EHS Conference

The 2025 EHS Conference theme will be ‘Creeds, Councils and Canons’, held in Edinburgh on 15-17 July 2025.

Keynote speakers:

  • Professor David Fergusson, University of Cambridge
  • Professor Emma Wild-Wood, University of Edinburgh
  • Professor Alberto Camplani, Sapienza Università di Roma
  • Dr Sara Parvis, University of Edinburgh

2025 is the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, widely recognised as the Church’s first Ecumenical Council. This drew on and popularised a tradition which has been widely adopted by churches throughout the world, of church leaders and/or representatives meeting to deal with matters doctrinal, ethical, disciplinary, missionary and liturgical, and documenting them in creeds and canons. The recognition or not of councils and their documents has also become a way in which churches tell their own institutional history, and situate themselves with regard to one another.

The development of distinct linguistic traditions of Christianity in Asian and African languages from the fourth century onwards can be traced by the reception or not of the documents of Nicaea and of the Ecumenical Councils of Constantinople, Ephesus and Chalcedon which followed it. Conciliar material translated from Greek into Latin, Syriac, Coptic, Ethiopic, Armenian and Georgian led to new literary expressions of World Christianity based on gathered collections which often broke free from their original contexts. These became both textual witnesses to their own transmission, and sources in their turn for further theological and legal reflection and prescription.

The collecting and weighing up of different conciliar and canonical traditions became a means whereby local churches and monasteries across the world could demonstrate to one another the quality of their libraries and their level of erudition, catholicity and historical knowledge. Medieval women writers also often show knowledge of conciliar pronouncements: their engagement with these often reveals their level of interest in being accepted on a broader ecclesiastical political stage, and also in avoiding accusations of heresy. Conciliarism became one of the main drivers of ecclesiastical reform in the late medieval period.

In Africa and Asia, the relationship of the existing Christian churches to the early Ecumenical Councils often shaped encounters with organised missions from Europe. In Europe itself, theological and ecclesiological debates in the Early Modern period, including at the Council of Trent, drew heavily on the early Councils and Creeds. Erudite debates on these sometimes served the forces of violence and coercion, but also sometimes performed a hidden role of facilitating ecumenism and peace-making.

In the modern period, the ancient councils have continued to be used throughout the world as agreed authorities for otherwise divergent Church traditions, or else as starting points for creatively discussing difference. New councils of different sorts have become themselves a means of ecclesiastical renewal. The Edinburgh 1910 missionary conference, which led to the World Council of Churches, established a fresh sense of Protestant Christian unity for the twentieth century. The Second Vatican Council refreshed Catholic thinking on ecclesiology, Scripture, Tradition, liturgy, ecumenism, inter-faith dialogue and the role of the Church in the modern world. Feminist critiques, meanwhile, can fruitfully be raised against the male-centred concerns of a conciliar tradition in which women often appear as more legislated against than legislating.

Publication – Patrizia Sardina, « Scherza coi fanti e lascia stare i santi. Giochi proibiti e divertimenti leciti nella Sicilia medievale »

Il volume ripercorre in modo organico la storia dei giochi e degli spettacoli in Sicilia dall’età normanna alla fine del Quattrocento, alla luce della concezione del tempo libero propria dell’età medievale, attraverso fonti documentarie, edite e inedite, cronache, fonti iconografiche e archeologiche. Si dedica ampio spazio alla disamina delle attività ludiche proibite, censurate e controllate (in primo luogo il gioco d’azzardo e il ballo) che furono sottoposte alle critiche di pensatori cristiani e predicatori, attenzionate nei capitoli delle confraternite e nei confessionali, disciplinate dalle costituzioni regie e dai bandi comunali. Si rintracciano, poi, le testimonianze sulla diffusione del gioco degli scacchi nei diversi strati della società. Incoronazioni regie e cerimonie funebri, tornei e palii mostrano le tante sfaccettature del potere regio e viceregio che spettacolarizzavano eventi gioiosi e tragici per rinsaldare il legame tra i diversi ceti sociali, disposti in spazi ben delimitati secondo una precisa scenografia. Inoltre, è riservata speciale attenzione al ruolo della musica nella corte regia, alla presenza di suonatori indipendenti che, in occasione di matrimoni e feste, allestivano concerti in città grandi e piccole e si esibivano anche sul mare, e all’arte come fonte iconografica fondamentale per ricostruire la storia degli strumenti musicali. Si analizzano anche le attività ludiche degli ebrei, sottoposte alla gabella della iocularia, pagata in occasione delle nozze e delle nascite. Nell’isola, che annoverava la presenza di comunità consistenti e particolarmente attive sotto il profilo economico, gli artigiani ebrei si distinguevano nel campo della fabbricazione di strumenti musicali. Spettacoli e giochi potevano diventare luogo d’incontro tra cristiani ed ebrei che convivevano fianco a fianco nelle città siciliane, o palesarne la distanza.

Patrizia Sardina, professoressa ordinaria di storia medievale presso l’Università degli Studi di Palermo, si è occupata delle città siciliane nelle monografie Tra l’Etna e il mare (1995), Palermo e i Chiaromonte: splendore e tramonto di una signoria (2003) e Il labirinto della memoria (2011). In seguito, i suoi studi si sono concentrati sulla storia dei monasteri femminili, ai quali ha dedicato i libri Il monastero di Santa Caterina e la città di Palermo (2016) e Per gli antichi chiostri (2020). Dirige la rivista «Mediaeval Sophia» e coordina la rete internazionale di ricerca Consensus and Dissent in the Political, Religious and Social Life of Medieval Europe (11th-15th centuries). È, inoltre, responsabile, per l’unità di Palermo, del PRIN 2022 Truce as damage limitation in violent conflicts: language and practices of “treuga” in Medieval Italy (XII-XV Centuries).

Publication – Étienne Anheim, Paul Pasquali, « Bourdieu et Panofsky. Essai d’archéologie intellectuelle, suivi de leur correspondance inédite »

Ce livre raconte, à partir d’archives inédites, l’histoire de la rencontre entre deux figures emblématiques des sciences humaines du XXe siècle, Pierre Bourdieu (1930-2002) et Erwin Panofsky (1892-1968). Rien de commun, en apparence, entre le jeune sociologue français, œuvrant au milieu des années 1960 à la refondation de sa discipline dans un monde intellectuel dominé par le structuralisme, et le vieil historien d’art allemand reconnu internationalement, émigré aux États-Unis après avoir fui le nazisme. Et pourtant, c’est dans la collection « Le sens commun », dirigée par Bourdieu aux Éditions de Minuit, que paraît la première traduction française de Panofsky, Architecture gothique et pensée scolastique, au printemps 1967, en même temps que les Essais d’iconologie chez Gallimard.

L’édition d’Architecture gothique et pensée scolastique est minutieusement préparée par Bourdieu qui, fait unique dans sa carrière, réalise lui-même la traduction. Il y joint une longue postface qui deviendra célèbre : c’est là qu’apparaît sous sa plume la première théorisation du concept d’habitus.

En s’appuyant sur des sources multiples – dont la correspondance des deux savants reproduite en annexe –, cette enquête retrace pas à pas une aventure éditoriale et intellectuelle unique, moment clé dans la réception d’Erwin Panofsky, mais aussi dans la carrière d’un Pierre Bourdieu en pleine construction des outils qui lui permettront de s’imposer dans les décennies suivantes comme l’auteur d’une œuvre capitale.

Publication – Wendy Davies, « Gardens in Northern Iberia in the Early Middle Ages. Practice, Product, and Sale »

Using archaeological, archaeobotanical, and written evidence, this book explores what gardens meant in northern Spain and northern Portugal in the early middle ages – a question asked here for the first time.

Dealing with a vast area of the Iberian peninsula that lay beyond Muslim al-Andalus, with great geographical diversity and wide variation in climate, this books spans the sixth to tenth centuries, showing that gardens might lie beside houses or scattered among arable fields or grouped together in garden zones. Gardens are difficult to recognize archaeologically but excavation suggests that many were terraces, as it also suggests that indicators of intensive use – through fertilization or irrigation or characteristic weed species – may be more useful for identifying garden activity than looking for a distinctive shape. The strongest indications of garden produce are that fruit was always important and so were legumes; and some gardens, especially those owned by monasteries, may have grown herbs.

The most striking trend across the tenth century is that peasants sold gardens to monasteries, although there are regional differences, Catalonia having a more diverse land market. Peasants sold in order to get food and monasteries bought partly to provide garden produce, including herbs, for expanding communities but partly to use and increase garden space for textile plants—flax, hemp, and dye plants—for commercial reasons, especially urban supply. Gardens were vital for the supply of clothes.

By scrutinising the logistics of small- and medium-scale ownership, the relations of owners with large-scale land-holders, especially institutions, and the ins-and-outs of those economic and social interactions, this wide-ranging book adds a new dimension to the environmental history of western Europe, in addition to contributing to an understanding of the social, economic, and cultural history of the period more generally.

Wendy Davies is an emeritus professor of history at University College London and an associate member of the History Faculty, University of Oxford. She retired in 2007, until when she taught medieval European history and held administrative posts such as Head of the History Department, Deans of Arts and of Social and Historical Sciences, and Pro-Provost (Europe). For research she has worked successively on early medieval Wales, Brittany, and Iberia, often working across disciplines and collaborating with other scholars. She has run several interdisciplinary projects which explore the interaction between text and field evidence. In the last twenty years her focus has been on northern Iberia.

Journée d’étude – Journées d’actualité de la recherche archéologique en Ardenne-Eifel  

Du 17-19 avril 2025,
Station des Hautes Fagnes

Programme : ici

L’objectif principal des Journées d’Actualités de Recherche sur l’Ardenne-Eifel (JARAAE) est de transformer le massif Ardenne-Eifel en un véritable pont entre les quatre pays qu’il traverse, facilitant ainsi les échanges et la collaboration entre chercheurs.ses. En dépit des frontières artificielles qui peuvent freiner la mise en place de programmes transfrontaliers, cet espace géographique cohérent offre un potentiel notable pour le développement de recherches communes. Les JARAAE proposent ainsi un rendez-vous bisannuel pour réunir les chercheurs.ses, tandis que l’année intermédiaire est dédiée à la publication des actes.

Coorganisées par le Centre ardennais de recherche archéologique (CARA), la Station scientifique des Hautes Fagnes (ULiège) et avec le soutien du Service d‘Archéométrie – Archéologie médiévale et post médiévale (ULiège), ces journées d’actualités internationales sont centrées sur la thématique géographique : le massif et ses marges. L’approche est résolument diachronique (du Paléolithique à l’Époque contemporaine) et ouverte aux disciplines connexes à l’archéologie (histoire, toponymie…). Outre les communications et les posters, ce colloque offre une large place aux discussions, afin de favoriser les échanges et le développement de projets de recherche transfrontaliers.

Publication – Emil Avdaliani, « The Caucasian Silk Roads and Eurasian Connectivity, 500-1405. Trade, Culture, and Warfare in Transit »

The book aims to present a history of the Silk Roads in the Caucasus region from the sixth century to the early fifteenth century—the end of the Mongol-Timurid era and the beginning of the Age of Discoveries, which began ushering in shifts in global connectivity. The volume is based on a range of Georgian, Armenian, Western, Arab, and Persian sources that are often neglected in other works on the Silk Roads. The book demonstrates that the Caucasus served as a major highway in connecting the Eurasian steppes with the Middle East and the Black Sea with inner Asia.

Colloque – The Paradox of Monastic Bishops. A Comparison between the Eastern and Western Churches in the Middle Ages

Monks had already been elevated to bishops since the 4th century; nevertheless, monk-bishops were judged controversially in medieval Latin Europe. On the one hand, they were idealised (such as St. Martin of Tours), but on the other hand they were also repeatedly criticised, as monasticism and the office of bishop were often seen as incompatible. Why should a monk who had dedicated his life to obedience, poverty and seclusion in the monastery return to the world to become a rich and powerful bishop? Was he not breaking his vows? How was it possible to reconcile these two very different ways of life and legitimise his becoming a bishop?

These questions arose all the more as the sources relevant to Latin canon law had stipulated since Late Antiquity that a monk-bishop should continue to live a monastic life. The monks, their monastic communities and later the religious orders were thus faced with the task of finding suitable models for reconciling the two ways of life that did justice to their original vows. The often sceptical attitude in the Latin West stands in an interesting contrast to the Eastern churches, in which the monastic bishop developed into the predominant ideal during the Middle Ages, so that it can be assumed that it was the non-monastic bishops who came under pressure to justify themselves.

The differences between Eastern and Western ideals and practices regarding the monk-bishop have hardly been researched to date, which is the starting point for the workshop. A comparison between different Eastern churches and these in turn with the Latin West has not yet been undertaken, nor has an investigation of mutual disputes and exchange processes with regard to monk-bishops. The workshop aims to offer initial approaches to closing this research gap and encourage further studies on the topic.

Publication – « Loyalty Binds Me. Yorkist Studies for Peter and Carolyn Hammond », éd. Richard Asquith, Christian Steer

This volume is offered as a tribute to Peter and Carolyn Hammond, who for decades have been an important force in the study of fifteenth-century England, and in particular the life and reign of Richard III. Among much else, they were vital to the foundation of the Yorkist History Trust, with Peter serving as a longstanding chairman and Carolyn as its first secretary. Their successors in 2025 (the year in which the Trust celebrates its Ruby Anniversary), Christian Steer and Richard Asquith, agreed that their manifold contributions to fifteenth-century studies should be recognised and celebrated with this Festschrift volume, which draws together thirty colleagues, friends, and admirers who have contributed essays on a wide variety of subjects and themes.

Reflecting the Hammonds’ own involvement in the field, which bridges the gaps between established academic historians, independent scholars, and those interested in medieval history, contributors include a range of perspectives, a testament to the vitality of the study of the fifteenth century, the Wars of the Roses, and the reign of Richard III. Essays cover microhistories to broad chronological surveys encompassing the later Middle Ages. Traditional historical studies sit alongside discussions of literature and art, and several contributions cross these disciplinary boundaries. The city of York – the Hammonds’ home – features prominently, as do areas relating to the Hammonds’ research interests, including leading figures from the Wars of the Roses, documents such as last wills and testaments, and cases drawn from England’s peerage.
