Il web costituisce oggi l'agorà in cui una molteplicità di soggetti scambia contenuti multimediali in tempo reale, agendo di volta in volta come produttore, fruitore o semplice "ripetitore". In questa sorta di realtà di secondo grado, parallela al mondo reale, non potevano mancare i contenuti di carattere agiografico, tanto più in un'epoca che è stata definita di "rivincita del sacro": il santo è ancora - o è tornato a essere - elemento vitale nella religiosità contemporanea ed è diventato oggetto di curiosità per una platea più ampia dei soli fedeli o praticanti cattolici. Allo scopo di indagare questa nuova dimensione del sacro risponde il presente volume, spazio di riflessione incentrato non tanto sul mezzo in sé quanto sullo specifico tema dei santi e delle devozioni del mondo contemporaneo, visti attraverso la lente del web.

Die Forschung zur Hagiographie hat bis heute dem Konzept des Martyriums in literarischer Hinsicht nur wenig Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt. Neben Verhör und Folter besteht der Vorgang des Martyriums aus einem weiteren Schritt, der den Forschungsgegenstand dieses Buches darstellt: die Gefängnisphase. Diese Arbeit analysiert die Rolle des Gefängnisses im Zusammenspiel von Struktur und Handlung der vormetaphrastischen Märtyrerakten und deren Umarbeitungen durch Symeon Metaphrastes (datiert vom 4. bis zum 10. Jahrhundert). In Anlehnung an das anthropologische Konzept der Liminalität wird dargelegt, dass das Gefängnis ein Schwellenraum ist, in dem die Entwicklung der körperlichen Ausdauer und der spirituellen Reife der Protagonisten stattfindet, was zu ihrer Identität als Märtyrer beiträgt. Untersucht werden diverse Aspekte des Gefängnisses und der betroffenen narrativen Figuren in Hinsicht auf Terminologie, Erzählstruktur, Gender und Empfindungen. Neben einer kritischen Lektüre der Quellen bietet diese Arbeit deutsche Übersetzungen der behandelten griechischen Passagen und liefert neue Einsichten in byzantinische hagiographische Studien.

This volume analyses the phenomenon of the thefts of sacred relics in Medieval Italy, in particular through the stealthy translationes, the hagiographic stories narrating the transfer of the relics from one place to another after they were stolen. Thanks to the study of historical contexts, narrative dynamics, literary themes and anthropological aspects, the book attempts to reconstruct the richness and complexity of the phenomenon over the centuries, tracing the history of this specific aspect of the cult of saints, which is also the history of the culture and religious imagery of the Middle Ages.

The volume includes selected papers of the fifth APECSS annual conference (Sendai, Japan, 2009) and other patristic studies. The conference papers deal with the letters from Christian Antiquity, from apostle Paul up to Theodore the Studite (ninth century), considered in different aspects, namely, historiography of studies, literary form, Church history, dogmatic contents, attribution, etc. Among the considered authors are Ephrem the Syrian, fathers of the Pachomian coenobium, Jerome, John Chrysostom, Eusebius of Vercelli, Augustine, Dionysius the Areopagite, Severus of Antioch. The other patristic studies are dedicated to the St Sophia church in Constantinople (its hagiographic program compared with that of the Holy Sepulchre church in Jerusalem; in appendix, the first English translation from Georgian of the sermon of John of Bolnisi on the consecration of Jerusalem churches), the program of unification between Christianity and Islam by George of Trebizond (fifteenth century Byzantine thinker), recuperation of the sources concerning the eleven monasteries founded by St Pachomius in Egypt, dogmatic views of Anthony Bulatovich (a Russian Palamite theologian of the early twentieth century) expressed in the Church polemics about the veneration of the Name of God. The volume also contains notes on the Qumranic calendars in their main contexts, Christian Ethiopian astronomical treatises and Babylonian astronomy, and book reviews.

"Undocumented Saints follows the migration of popular saints from Mexico into the US and the evolution of their meaning. The book explores how Latinx battles for survival are performed in the worlds of faith, religiosity, and the imaginary, and how the socio-political realities of exploitation and racial segregation frame their popular religious expressions. It also tracks the emergence of inter-religious states, transnational ethnic and cultural enclaves unified by faith. The book looks at five vernacular saints that have emerged in Mexico and whose devotions have migrated into the US in the last one hundred years: Jesús Malverde, a popular bandido turned saint caudillo; Santa Olguita, an emerging feminist saint linked to border women's experiences of sexual violence; Juan Soldado, a murder-rapist soldier who is now a patron for undocumented immigrants and the main suspect in the death of an eight-year-old victim known now as Santa Olguita; Toribio Romo, a Catholic priest whose ghost/spirit has been helping people cross the border into the US since the 1990s; and La Santa Muerte, a controversial personification of death who is particularly popular among LGBTQ migrants. Each chapter contextualizes a particular popular saint within broader discourses about the construction of masculinity and the state, the long history of violence against Latina and migrant women, female erasure from history, discrimination against non-normative sexualities, and as US and Mexican investment in the control of religiosity within the discourses of immigration."

Gegenstand des Buches sind die literarischen Gemeinplätze (Topoi) in der griechischen mittelalterlichen Heiligenliteratur. Thomas Pratsch bietet hier zum einen eine umfassende Materialsammlung, die eine vollständige Systematik der Topoi enthält. Daneben gelangt er zu neuen Ergebnissen hinsichtlich der Verwendung der Topoi und der Frage ihres historischen Wertes sowie der Entstehung, Überlieferung und Entwicklung griechischer Heiligenviten. Dabei zeichnet er unter anderem die schrittweise Entstehung einer Heiligenvita aus verschiedenen anderen literarischen Formen nach und untermauert aus einem neuen Blickwinkel die These der Kanonisierung der griechischen Heiligenliteratur gegen Ende des 10. und im Laufe des 11. Jahrhunderts. Ein Referenzwerk zur byzantinischen hagiographischen Literatur. This is the first systematic study of literary formulae (topoi) in Greek medieval lives of the saints. Thomas Pratsch compiles a comprehensive collection of material, including a systematic catalogue of the topoi. In his evaluation of them he provides new insights into the genesis, transmission and historical development of the genre of Greek saints' vitae. He traces the gradual development of the vitae from various other literary forms and, working from a new perspective, lends support to the thesis that a canon of Greek lives of the saints became established from the end of the 10th century and into the 11th century. This study is a valuable reference work on Byzantine hagiographic literature.

Dans la littérature hagiographique et dans le culte liturgique, un prestige important entoure un nombre important de saints originaires de l’Aquitaine. Ils sont partis vers le Nord et le Nord-est de la Gaule, ou vers l’Allemagne, pour évangéliser ou pour approfondir la christianisation des populations. À côté des vrais Aquitains historiquement bien attestés, cette origine est attribuée parfois sans fondements à des saints dont certains sont tout à fait fictifs. Si la plupart de ces saints aquitains – réels et inventés – vécurent ou furent censés vivre à la fin de l’Antiquité, et davantage encore à l’époque mérovingienne, leurs Vies furent écrites majoritairement à l’époque carolingienne, mais aussi, sous une forme plus fictionnelle, plus tard entre les Xe et XIIe siècles, dans des contextes politiques et religieux fort divers. Les études rassemblées dans ce volume, issues de deux journées d’études tenues au Centre d’études supérieures de civilisation médiévale de Poitiers en 2004 et en 2005, tentent de cerner le sens du qualificatif aquitain dans le discours hagiographique. Quand et pourquoi cette aura aquitaine devient un cliché comparable à celui des saints irlandais ? À quoi correspond la revendication de l’origine aquitaine des fondateurs d’églises, de monastère ? Les dossiers analysés ici suggèrent les premières hypothèses, en ouvrant la voie aux nouvelles recherches en hagiographie comparée.

Le croisement des démarches spécifiques à l'hagiographie, l'histoire, l'archéologie, la philologie, la linguistique, concourt à mettre en relief le rôle joué à travers les siècles par le monachisme (dont Landévennec représente l'un des foyers éminents en Bretagne) dans les échanges culturels et les relations sociales depuis le haut Moyen Âge jusqu'à nos jours. Le christianisme est « une religion d'historien »... L'affirmation, empruntée à Marc Bloch, confère sa cohérence à cette « Couronne monastique ». La portée des sources hagiographiques de la Bretagne ne peut se saisir que dans le contexte d'une production à l'échelle de la Chrétienté médiévale qui permet des rapprochements significatifs. Elle doit être replacée dans un réseau d'échanges dont on peut entrevoir ici l'extension. On perçoit ainsi l'une des fonctions essentielles de cette littérature destinée à alimenter les offices et la liturgie que rythment la Règle et le son des cloches. Les communications qui s'attachent à faire « entendre » le parfum de la langue, au carrefour de l'oral et de l'écrit, mettent l'accent sur les apports de la linguistique, de l'onomastique ou de la sémantique à notre perception de la culture médiévale. Une série d'études projette un éclairage renouvelé sur l'histoire religieuse de la Bretagne et des pays celtiques sur la longue durée, depuis les origines, durant le haut Moyen Âge, jusqu'au siècle qui vient de s'achever.Plus d'une trentaine d'intervenants aux journées d'études du CIRDoMoC (Centre International de Recherche et de Documentation sur le Monachisme Celtique) accueillis chaque année depuis 1987 par l'abbaye de Landévennec ont tenu à présenter au père Marc Simon, en gage de gratitude à l'occasion de son quatre-vingtième anniversaire, de nouvelles contributions qui reflètent la diversité des perspectives envisagées lors de ces sessions.

Trans and Genderqueer Subjects in Medieval Hagiography presents an interdisciplinary examination of trans and genderqueer subjects in medieval hagiography. Scholarship has productively combined analysis of medieval literary texts with modern queer theory - yet, too often, questions of gender are explored almost exclusively through a prism of sexuality, rather than gender identity. This volume moves beyond such limitations, foregrounding the richness of hagiography as a genre integrally resistant to limiting binaristic categories, including rigid gender binaries. The collection showcases scholarship by emerging trans and genderqueer authors, as well as the work of established researchers. Working at the vanguard of historical trans studies, these scholars demonstrate the vital and vitally political nature of their work as medievalists. Trans and Genderqueer Subjects in Medieval Hagiography enables the re-creation of a lineage linking modern trans and genderqueer individuals to their medieval ancestors, providing models of queer identity where much scholarship has insisted there were none, and re-establishing the place of non-normative gender in history.

Les saints au Moyen Âge et au Siècle d’Or espagnols font partie de la vie quotidienne et même de l’actualité littéraire, lorsque se trouvent à l’affiche des comedias de Lope, ou lorsque sont publiées sous forme de roman-fleuve des versions en prose des Vies de saints anciennement ou récemment canonisés. La lecture des Flos Sanctorum, depuis le Moyen Âge, accompagnait toutes les étapes de la vie : les enfants apprenaient à lire sur les Vies des saints, et c’était la lecture la plus pratiquée dans l’univers des femmes, sans parler de l’abondant lectorat appartenant au monde de religion. Ces lectures ont forgé tout un imaginaire qu’il importe de ne pas laisser dans l’ombre. Le lecteur moderne est surpris de découvrir combien les Pratiques hagiographiques auxquelles se livrent les auteurs du Siècle d’Or révèlent une grande liberté de plume, malgré les contraintes de la tradition. C’est ce qu’ont voulu mettre en lumière les contributions d’un groupe de recherche, l’équipe 5 (LEMSO) de FRAMESPA, qui a travaillé pendant sept ans sur les « représentations de la figure du saint ».
