Order & Exclusion
Order and Exclusion is a rare and magnificent book of medieval history with clear relevance to today's headlines. Through the lens of the polemics of Peter the Venerable, abbot of Cluny, Dominique Iogna-Prat examines the process by which christianity transformed itself into Christendom, a powerful spiritual, social, and political system with pretensions to universality. Iogna-Prat's close examination of a set of writings central to the history of Catholicism resolves into a deeply troubling study of the origins of attitudes that continue to shape world events. Iogna-Prat writes that "versions of fundamentalism nourished by the soil of an often terrible common history" show that Christianity,...
La Maison Dieu. Une histoire monumentale de l'Eglise au Moyen Age (v. 800-v. 1200)
- l'Église, en tant que force d'encadrement et de structuration de la société, a gagné en visibilité terrestre à travers la constitution de " lieux " considérés comme spécifiques - une histoire qui finit par faire de la " cathédrale " le monument emblématique d'une société largement utopique au sein de laquelle chaque homme, comme une petite pierre, a sa place et sa fonction dans la grande architecture du monde
'ReCapricorning' the Atlantic
This special issue of Luso-Brazilian Review includes articles on the Lusophone South Atlantic by historians of Africa and Brazil originally presented in May of 2006 at the Michigan State University and University of Michigan’s Atlantic History Workshop “ReCapricorning the Atlantic: Luso-Brazilian and Luso-African Perspectives on the Atlantic World.” Workshop participants set out to “ReCapricorn the Atlantic” by assessing how new research on the Lusophone South Atlantic modifies, challenges, or confirms major trends and paradigms in the expanding scholarship on Atlantic History.

Ordonner et exclure
Du IXe au XIIe siècle, la chrétienté latine se définit et se structure : elle désignait jusque-là la communauté spirituelle des disciples du Christ, elle devient une institution, l'Eglise, dont la fonction est d'inclure la société. Dominique Iogna-Prat étudie cette irrésistible expansion de l'Occident latin à travers le prisme de Cluny, établissement qui deviendra au XIIe siècle un puissant réseau qui s'étendra dans la péninsule Ibérique et en Terre sainte. A travers cette histoire, l'auteur dresse une sociologie du christianisme au XIIe siècle, et montre comment l'Eglise s'est aussi définie par son combat farouche engagé contre l'Antéchrist, tour à tour hérétique, juif ou sarrasin.
Rethinking Reform in the Latin West, 10th to Early 12th Century
This collection of studies investigates how people of the 10th to early 12th century experienced and represented processes of intentional change in the Church, and what the consequences are of modern scholars’ reliance on ‘reform’ to describe and interpret these processes. In 11 thematic chapters it takes stock of the current state of research and offers suggestions to deepen our understanding of the ideological, institutional, and cultural dynamics at play. Contributors are Julia Barrow, Robert F. Berkhofer III, Gordon Blennemann, Katy Cubitt, Nicolangelo D'Acunto, Anne-Marie Helvétius, Ludger Körntgen, Rutger Kramer, Brigitte Meijns, Diane Reilly, Rachel Stone, and Steven Vanderputten.
La invención social de la Iglesia en la Edad Media
En los años 800 se produce la transformación del concepto de Iglesia, desde un grupo de discípulos de Cristo, sin referencia territorial, a la Iglesia en el sentido de conjunto geopolítico e incluso arquitectónico. Dominique Iogna-Prat propone recuperar la historia de esta construcción polisémica de contenedor y contenido como un giro lexical programático. ¿Cómo definir el término "Iglesia" en la larga duración de la Historia? Y sobre todo, ¿cómo hacerlo en la perspectiva de las ciencias sociales? El recorrido propuesto en este libro tiene por objetivo recuperar la historia de una construcción polisémica, la génesis de un campo lexical en crecimiento continuo desde la "secta...
