La pathologie du pouvoir: vices, crimes et délits des gouvernants
La singularité de la criminalité des gouvernants ou de leurs actes peccamineux réside dans la rareté des condamnations qu’ils ont subies. En examinant sur la longue durée, les formes de dénonciation de ces délits des hommes de pouvoir, le livre essaie de comprendre les raisons qui aboutissent à la rupture du consensus et à la remise en cause de l’acceptation sociale des traditions jusqu’alors tolérées (corruption, extorsion, abus en tout genre). Les différentes contributions examinent les conditions de ces condamnations, morales et politiques, et dessinent un tableau nuancé de ces pathologies du pouvoir qui loin d’être invariables dans le temps sont articulées aux para...
Le avventure di un ragazzo del ’27
Le avventure di Mariano Bignami, classe 1927, di Altedo (Bologna), terra piatta che nei secoli ha dato lavoro e sfamato migliaia di persone, ma senza equità, raccontano quell’emancipazione dei diseredati, scaturita dagli insegnamenti di Giuseppe Massarenti. La storia di Mariano è la storia di tanti uomini e donne che hanno saputo conquistarsi e difendere la dignità, finoa lottare tenacemente per la libertà.Mariano Bignami, come il padre e i fratelli, è stato partigiano, ma nel dopoguerra i principi per i quali aveva combattuto, entrarono in rotta di collisione con la cosidetta dittatura del proletariato, che sacrificava la libertà individuale. Superata la fase postbellica, riuscì a ...
Power & Purity
Catharism was a popular medieval heresy based on the belief that the creation of humankind was a disaster in which angelic spirits were trapped in matter by the devil. Their only goal was to escape the body through purification. Cathars denied any value to material life, including the human body, baptism, and the Eucharist, even marriage and childbirth.

Power and Purity explores the place of cathar heresy in the life of the medieval Italian town of Orvieto. Based on extensive archival research, it details the social makeup of the Cathar community and argues that the heresy was central to t...

The End of the World in Medieval Thought and Spirituality
This essay collection studies the Apocalypse and the end of the world, as these themes occupied the minds of biblical scholars, theologians, and ordinary people in Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and Early Modernity. It opens with an innovative series of studies on “Gendering the Apocalypse,” devoted to the texts and contexts of the apocalyptic through the lens of gender. A second section of essays studies the more traditional problem of “Apocalyptic Theory and Exegesis,” with a focus on authors such as Augustine of Hippo and Joachim of Fiore. A final series of essays extends the thematic scope to “The Eschaton in Political, Liturgical, and Literary Contexts.” In these essays, scholars of history, theology, and literature create a dialogue that considers how fear of the end of the world, among the most pervasive emotions in human experience, underlies a great part of Western cultural production.
