Abstract

John Boswell's highly acclaimed study of the history of attitudes toward homosexuality in the Christian West challenges received opinion and our own preconceptions about the Church's past relationship to its gay members, among whom were priests, bishops and even canonized saints. The historical breadth of Boswell's research (from the Greeks to Aquinas) and the variety of sources consulted (legal, literary, theological, artistic, and scientific) make this one of the most extensive treatments of any single aspect of Western social history. The product of ten years of research and analysis of records in a dozen languages, this book opens up a new area of historical inquiry and helps elucidate the origins and operations of intolerance as a social force.

Abstract

The pious sex. Catholic constructions of masculinity and femininity in Belgium (c. 1800 - 1940) This study has a double goal. On the one hand it wants to improve the knowledge of Catholic constructions of masculinity and femininity in Belgium. On the other hand, by studying these gender constructions, it wants reconsider the feminisation thesis. This thesis has developed in historical research into a container term that covers various contents. It points not only at a numeric preponderance of women in the religious field, but also at content changes and at a quasi-identification of femininity and religiosity. The nineteenth-century feminisation of Christianity has been studied and documented in various European countries and denominations, but in the research on Belgian Catholicism it has not yet been a major theme. Still, Belgian society offers an interesting case as the Catholic realm covered a wide range of activities. As such, women and men could confirm their Catholic identity in both public and more private fields. This study therefore focuses on the Belgian case, and more specific on the way in which gender differentiation was created and expressed. Focus is put on the Catholic adult laity and his or her (ideal) image in the Sacred Heart devotion, Catholic Action and sermons. These perspectives offer the opportunity to point at the diversity and the flexibility of these gender constructions. The construction of the Catholic man in the discourse of the Apostolat de la Prière (a devotional movement dedicated to the Sacred Heart) for instance illustrates how masculinity and emotionality were not necessarily considered mutually exclusive. This nineteenth-century emotionally expressive masculinity therefore makes it hard to define the nineteenth-century Sacred Heart devotion as feminised on the ground of her emotionality and sentimentality, as has been suggested in other studies. Terms such as feminisation and the parallel masculinisation not only come close to an essentialist vision, they also seem to point at a kind of permanent construction of masculinity and femininity whereas in current gender research stress is put on the historical, social and geographical flexibility of gender constructions. Furthermore the stereotype of the pious sex appears to be older than the nineteenth century and it was not always used in a positive way in Catholic sources of the nineteenth- and twentieth century. The Catholic clergy noted the preponderance of women in religious practices also in the seventeenth century. The clergys observation of mens smaller interest in the religious field crystallised into a narrative of loss by the end of the nineteenth century; it incited men-oriented initiatives and (re)definitions of religion as masculine. Similar initiatives have been described in other research as masculinisation, but as indicated this term is confusing. In order to be able to grasp in historical research this special attention for mens involvement, this study suggests stepping away from the somewhat confining terms feminisation and masculinisation and put the emphasis on differentiation instead, the creation of the difference. This offers the opportunity to describe the increasing attention for gender difference as can be remarked in the evolution of the mixed Apostolat de la Prière movement into the gender-exclusive Leagues of the Sacred Heart. Moreover, men do not necessarily have to oppose women: Catholic men can be compared to other men, e.g. socialist men. By shifting the attention towards differentiation, other categories such as class can receive ample attention and e.g. the evolution of the originally workers-oriented L

Abstract

Dit is het verhaal van de mensen van Hassana. De Hasnaye zijn Assyrische christenen. Ze geloven dat ze de taal van Christus spreken : hun eigen taal, het Sureth, is verwant met het oude Aramees dat bij het begin van onze tijdrekening de omgangstaal was in Palestina. De Hasnye zochten asiel in Europa, het christelijke Avondland. Ze kwamen terecht in een Vlaamse provinciestad, in Mechelen. Daar groeit nu een Nieuw Hassana in de schaduw van de Sint-Romboutstoren. Dit is het verhaal van het dorp Assana in Zuidoost-Turkije, aan de grens met Syrië en Irak. Het was een dorp van boeren en wevers in de schaduw van de berg Djudi. Hassana was een verzamelpunt, het spon de rode draad van twintig eeuwen oosters christendom in Mesopotamië en Assyrië. Het was het laatste christelijk dorp in die afgelegen regio, gekneld tussen het Turkse leger en de Koerdische PKK. Hassana werd verwoest in 1993. Dit is het verhaal van Melkan Ishak, een jongeman uit Hassana, een vluchteling. Hij is Belg en Mechelaar geworden. Maar zijn wortels liggen elders. Hij heeft de auteur August Thiry meegenomen naar de Assyrische enclave in Mechelen. Hij heeft voor het de grondstof opgedolven waaruit dit boek is gegroeid. Het een zoektocht geworden naar een oude cultuur, naar een kleine christelijke gemeenschap in de diaspora, naar het wel en wee van de mensen van Hassana in Mechelen. Waar ze in het beste geval Turken worden genoemd en waar de onrust van het bangelijke eigen volk onrustwekkend groeit.
