Les Jésuites. Histoire Dictionnaire
La première synthèse de cette envergure sur la Compagnie de Jésus, de sa fondation en 1540 au XXIe siècle qui, pour la première fois, a vu avec François l'élection d'un pape jésuite. Ce volume réunit une Histoire et un Dictionnaire qui donnent la mesure des grandes évolutions de l'institution jésuite comme corps collectif (la Compagnie se considérait elle-même comme un organisme), mais aussi du dynamisme des individualités, souvent extrêmement indépendantes, qui ont animé ce " corps ". Un chapitre particulier est ainsi consacré à l'immense domaine des missions d'évangélisation pour lesquelles, par définition, les jésuites ont sillonné le monde entier : Amérique latin...
Les jésuites dans l'Espagne du XVIe siècle
1946. L'Europe emerge de la seconde guerre mondiale. L'Espagne s'est enfoncee dans la dictature catholique du General Franco. Marcel Bataillon, consacre cette annee-la son cours du College de France aux premiers jesuites d'Espagne. Inedit jusqu'a ce jour, le manuscrit de ce cours est un meteore. Ancre dans l'histoire sociale, politique, culturelle et spirituelle des marges du royaume de Castille, mais tout autant attache a des aventures individuelles, il mobilise toutes les ressources d'un grand historien et devance de plusieurs decennies les recherches actuelles sur la premiere reforme catholique dans la peninsule iberique, en soulignant par exemple l'ouverture, exceptionnelle et breve, de ...
Diversity and Empires
Examining diversity as a fundamental reality of empire, this book explores European colonial empires, both terrestrial and maritime, to show how they addressed the questions of how to manage diversity. These questions range from the local to the supra-regional, and from the management of people to that of political and judicial systems. Taking an intersectional approach incorporating categories such as race, religion, subjecthood, and social and legal status, the contributions of the volume show how old and new modes of creating social difference took shape in an increasingly globalized early modern world, and what contemporary legacies these ‘diversity formations’ left behind. This volu...
Le monde est une peinture
Die Autoren des Bandes fragen nach der Rolle der Bilder bei der Herausbildung einer Identitat des Jesuitenordens. Die Schaffung einer "jesuitischen Identitat" wird in den verschiedenen Beitragen als ein Ideal des Ordens verstanden, das uber alle ordensinternen Heterogenitaten hinweg zu vermitteln versucht wurde. Charakteristisch fur die Jesuiten war eine Kultur des Wandels in einer sich wandelnden Welt, einer permanenten individuellen Akkommodation und Neuerfindung, die mit einer Vielzahl von Identitaten verbunden war. Vor allem die enorme Mobilitat der Ordensmitglieder im Raum und in ihren Aufgaben und Handlungen ging mit Spannungen einher, die eine Neu- oder Umordnung tradierter Wissens- u...
Eloquent Images
The Christian image in the process of modern globalisation Drawing on original research covering different periods and spaces, this book sets out to appreciate the specific place of images in the history of evangelisation in the long modern period. How can we reconceptualise the functions of the visual mediation of the gospel message, both in terms of the production and reception of this message and in terms of its effective mediators, artists, religious, and cultural ambassadors? The contributions in this book offer multiple geographical and historical insights regarding the circulation of the image on the global scale of the Christianised world or the world in the process of being Christia...
Jesuit Art
In Jesuit Art, Mia Mochizuki considers the artistic production of the pre-suppression Society of Jesus (1540–1773) from a global perspective. Geographic and medial expansion of the standard corpus changes not only the objects under analysis, it also affects the kinds of queries that arise. Mochizuki draws upon masterpieces and material culture from around the world to assess the signature structural innovations pioneered by Jesuits in the history of the image. When the question of a ‘Jesuit style’ is rehabilitated as an inquiry into sources for a spectrum of works, the Society’s investment in the functional potential of illustrated books reveals the traits that would come to define the modern image as internally networked, technologically defined, and innately subjective.
