Abstract

The time of the transition from the Middle Ages to the onset of early modernity (c. 1400-1550) is a very complex one. It brought what on first sight appear to be contradictory developments. Human creativity and freedom became much more important; yet, at the same time, the foundations were laid for systems that allowed control to be exercised over virtually every aspect of human social life. How can we put these two phenomena together? Which tendency is the stronger one? The contributions in this volume focus on the tension between creativity and norm-making from the perspective of different academic disciplines, so as to shed light on this fascinating period in our history.

Abstract

The significant changes in early modern German marriage practices included many unions that violated some taboo. That taboo could be theological and involve the marriage of monks and nuns, or refer to social misalliances as when commoners and princes (or princesses) wed. Equally transgressive were unions that crossed religious boundaries, such as marriages between Catholics and Protestants, those that violated ethnic or racial barriers, and those that broke kin-related rules. Taking as a point of departure Martin Luther's redefinition of marriage, the contributors to this volume spin out the

Abstract

This book presents a comparative approach to the role of women in religious and monastic life in Europe and the Americas during the medieval and early modern periods. The contributors inquire into differences and similarities, continuities and discontinuities of women?s agency inside and outside the convent. The volume challenges traditional chronological and regional limitations such as those between the Middle Ages and the Modern era and stresses the transatlantic exchange of models between Europe and the Americas.

Abstract

Un dialogue des savoirs : telle est l'ambition de cet ouvrage qui vise à faire échanger histoire des sciences et histoire des techniques. Deux historiographies qui, pour être complémentaires, n'ont pas pour autant toujours été associées. Les techniques ont été, en effet, longtemps perçues comme des « sciences appliquées ». Or il s'agit plutôt de décrypter comment, à quels moments, dans quels contextes sociaux, elles ont pu être envisagées comme subordonnées aux sciences. Pour quelles raisons, par exemple, les techniciens sont-ils « invisibles » aux yeux des savants dans l'Angleterre du XVIIe siècle ? Ce dialogue mérite d'être étudié depuis les contextes européens, du XVe au XVIIIe siècle, quand les sciences « modernes », en particulier « expérimentales », s'affirment dans une interaction constante avec les techniques. Des lieux de savoir hybrides, intermédiaires, des « trading zones », permettent ce contact fructueux entre savants et praticiens, depuis les laboratoires et les collections jusqu'aux ateliers, aux mines, aux arsenaux ou aux navires mêmes. Dans ces lieux, la dichotomie entre technique et science, pratique et théorie, s'efface, invitant à considérer, dans un mouvement conjoint, la science comme produit de la matérialité et les techniques comme relevant de l'intellection. L'approche des savoirs scientifiques et techniques privilégiée ici est sociale, culturelle et politique. Les auteurs insistent sur l'insertion des savoirs dans les sociétés et les interactions entre savoirs et pouvoirs. Comment la construction et la diffusion des savoirs ont transformé l'approche du monde et de la nature, la conception même du temps et de l'espace, dans l'Europe moderne ? Des villes de la péninsule italienne à la Renaissance aux expéditions scientifiques menées par l'Académie royale des sciences ou la Royal Society durant les Lumières, la transformation territoriale, politique et sociale de l'Europe s'est effectuée autant par la maîtrise de savoir-faire techniques que…
