Abstract

Homicide has a history. In early modern England, that history saw two especially notable developments: one, the emergence in the sixteenth century of a formal distinction between murder and manslaughter, made meaningful through a lighter punishment than death for the latter, and two, a significant reduction in the rates of homicides individuals perpetrated on each other. 0'Making Murder Public' explores connections between these two changes. It demonstrates the value in distinguishing between murder and manslaughter, or at least in seeing how that distinction came to matter in a period which also witnessed dramatic drops in the occurrence of homicidal violence. Focused on the 'politics of murder', 'Making Murder Public' examines how homicide became more effectively criminalized between 1480 and 1680, with chapters devoted to coroners' inquests,0appeals and private compensation, duels and private vengeance, and print and public punishment. The English had begun moving away from treating homicide as an offence subject to private settlements or vengeance long before other Europeans, at least from the twelfth century. What happened in the early modern period was, in some ways, a continuation of processes long underway, but intensified and refocused by developments from 1480 to 1680. 0'Making Murder Public' argues that homicide became fully 'public' in these years, with killings seen to violate a 'king's peace' that people increasingly conflated with or subordinated to the 'public peace' or 'public justice'

Abstract

"L'hispanité des musulmans d'Espagne est au centre d'un débat récurrent sur l'identité collective. En faisant de la présence politique des musulmans une parenthèse historique de huit siècles, le romancero les exclut de l'espace péninsulaire et de l'hispanité, annonçant ainsi l'expulsion définitive des Morisques de 1609. Un autre discours est pourtant développé durant le siècle qui suit 1492 ; les littératures hispano-arabe et castillane en témoignent. Le roman hispano-mauresque français, au XVIIe siècle, reprend le personnage du musulman d'Espagne. Idéalisé, tolérant et généreux, le Moro n'est plus simplement un Espagnol, il est le support d'une réflexion sur la mixité religieuse et sur l'attachement collectif au lieu."--Page 4 of cover

Abstract

This book presents a lesser-known chapter of the cultural history of the Ottoman Balkans, the world of its Catholic communities and institutions. Alongside Orthodox Christians, Muslims and Jews, Catholics lived in nearly every area of the Balkan Peninsula in the 16th and 17th centuries. The great religious revolution of the early modern age, confessionalization, did not leave the Balkan Catholics untouched. Unlike the Christian confessional states of Europe, the Ottoman Empire, with Islam as its state religion, neither assisted nor impeded the formation of denominations, but put many obstacles in the way of their institutional growth. The confessionalization of Catholics in the European frontier regions of the Ottoman Empire thus resulted in a peripheral and unestablished Catholicism.0This book explores the peculiarities of this local Catholic confessionalization in the Balkans through a micro-analytical approach. The prime objective of the book is to contribute? through an exploration of the history of the Balkan Catholics? to the renewal of research into the early modern Mediterranean world.

Abstract

Je sous le regard de Dieu : la formule renvoie à la quête spirituelle et invite à considérer le fidèle face au divin, au moment même où celui-ci se tourne vers ce qui l'excède et le dépasse. Comment saisir et nommer cet être qui se dérobe et qui cherche la stabilité dans ce regard divin ?
