SUMMARY:Theologies of Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Call for Participants:\n“Theologies of Revolution: Medieval to Modern Europe”\nGraduate and Post-Graduate Workshop\n20-21 May\, 2019\nFrench Research Center in Humanities and Social Sciences (CEFRES)\n& Centre for Medieval Studies (CMS)\nPrague\, Czech Republic\nWeb link: http://www.cefres.cz/en/9981 \nDeadline: 15 January\, 2019 \nThe second millennium of the Church is one of a connected series of “total revolutions”\, enacted by those who had been promised Christ’s return and blissful paradise\, yet experienced only desperation. Their hatred of this status quo\, hatred of heaven’s absence\, reached such a state that they fought to bring heaven into the world. \nEugen Rosenstock-Huessy’s classic reading of European revolutions\, medieval to modern\, gave central significance to the religious perspective. Previously\, the violent deposition of rulers or the destruction of hierarchies—especially by the people—was almost unthinkable due to their significance in maintaining “political” and “religious” order. Since Rosenstock-Huessy\, however\, researchers have tended to prefer socio-economic\, politico-ideological\, ethno-linguistic\, and generally materialist explanations—depending on current fashions—for such violence. This has been at the expense of religious and theological elements\, though the 1979 Iranian revolution certainly brought these back into academic awareness. Cross-disciplinary insights suggest that what is today labelled “religious” often was (and is) the internal meaning-structures which revolutionary agents used to express and inform their own actions\, fitting themselves into existing divine or supra-mundane narratives (Augustinian\, apocalyptic\, mystical\, etc.)\, or re-working these narratives under the influence of new or rediscovered ideas (humanist\, Joachite\, Christian Platonist\, etc.). \nModern researchers still struggle to balance emic and etic explanations of revolutionary action\, yet at least since the 14th century\, movements and thinkers began to arise which clearly defined their violent\, revolutionary action in theological terms\, or terms in which the “religious” and “political” are not clearly separate spheres of existence: the Apostolic Brethren or Cola de Rienzo in Italy\, the Hussites in Bohemia\, Thomas Müntzer in the German lands\, György Dózsa in Hungary\, the Lollards and Oliver Cromwell in England. The list could also potentially move to include such events as the French\, pan-European (1848)\, and Russian revolutions\, which have traditionally lacked theological analysis. Such movements built and innovated upon existing understandings of matters like the human condition and history\, the perfectability of the world\, and the human relationship with God\, to not merely legitimize violent action (post facto)\, but to motivate\, guide\, and inform it along the way.\nOur workshop aims to discuss and elaborate upon these and other themes related to revolution from the medieval to the modern periods in Europe\, west and east. We hope to address the implications of re-opening historical debate on revolutions which take seriously the input of political-religion. We especially want to emphasize a broad geographic and chronological field\, and welcome new and inter-disciplinary approaches to challenge established historiographic narratives. The workshop will organize participants thematically and ask them to react to each others’ papers. Some common topics/questions that interest us include:\n• Do the “total revolutions” of the second millennium have a common religious form?\n• Is modern man born out of revolution?\n• To what extent can revolutions be compared\, treated as part of a trend\, or be seen as unique?\n• How “novel” were the cultural/intellectual/religious heterodox figures who led rebellions and revolutions?\n• Are there periods unique for European history in regards to rebellions and revolutions?\n• What are some methodological approaches which move us past the materialist emphases on society and economics?\n• To what extent did the “new” ideas and traditions emerging from earlier periods influence later religio-political thought\, up to today? \nKeynote speakers:\nDr. Phillip Haberkern (Boston University)\nDr. Matthias Riedl (Central European University\, Budapest) \nScientific organizing committee:\nDr. Jérôme Heurtaux (French Research Center in Humanities and Social Sciences\, Prague)\nDr. Matthias Riedl (Central European University\, Budapest)\nDr. Pavel Soukup (Center for Medieval Studies\, Prague)\nMartin Pjecha (CEU/CEFRES) \nApplicants are asked to send a brief abstract of their 20-minute project contribution (200-300 words) to Martin Pjecha (Pjecha_Martin@phd.ceu.edu) by 15 January\, 2019\, especially focusing on how their work can fit into\, contribute to\, or challenge the workshop’s theme. Speakers should be prepared to engage in lively\, English-language discussions of participants’ projects and broader themes.\nLimited travel bursaries will be available for those without institutional funding opportunities. Please indicate your application for funding along with your abstract.
