‎Summary This volume presents the proceedings of the conference Materiality and Conversion: The Role of Material and Visual Cultures in the Christianization of the Latin West organized by the Centre for Early Medieval Studies in 2020. Its contributions thus focus on the Christianization of the Roman Empire between the fourth and sixth centuries. The studies examine the religious change through the ?material turn? approach, building on the material and sensorial dimension of Christian conversion and especially the baptismal rite as one of the key components of the process. The material and visual cultures are regarded as vectors and witnesses of conversion to Christianity, while human body is viewed as one of the agents in ritual actions. The volume covers a wide range of topics, including the prebaptismal purification, the moment of immersion in the baptismal font, the postbaptismal alteration of perception, as well as the continuous changes in funeral forms. As such, the papers attempt to shed more light on the role of materiality in the complex and rapid conversion to Christianity in Late Antique West.

‎Dynamiques de conversion: modeles et resistances. Approches interdisciplinaires,‎

‎Cet ouvrage est issu des travaux sur la conversion menes au sein du Centre Interdisciplinaire d'Etude du Religieux (CIER), a la MSH de Montpellier. Certes on ecrit beaucoup et on a beaucoup ecrit sur cette thematique : le sujet presente en effet un interet majeur. Mais l'approche pluridisciplinaire a ete l'occasion de soulever des questions et d'obtenir des resultats qui meritent d'etre publies. La combinaison des differentes approches disciplinaires qui se retrouvent au sein du Centre a permis de mieux apprehender le processus complexe que constitue la conversion dans ses expressions, ses enjeux, ses finalites et ses consequences, de maniere synchronique et diachronique. Si le point de depart des reflexions s'appuie toujours sur les definitions courantes de la conversion ' retour a l'origine (ou retour a soi) ou changement de pensee, mutation ou renaissance ' la presente publication cherche a mettre l'accent sur l'analyse des dynamiques qu'induit, aux differents moments de l'histoire, la conversion retenue comme modele. Il s'agit de considerer ces dynamiques non seulement dans le champ du religieux mais aussi en tant que la figure religieuse de la conversion a pu etre, ou devenir, figure de pensee ou d'expression, posture sociologique ou ethique, dans d'autres domaines que le religieux : mythologique, laic, politique, litteraire, artistique... En consequence, la conversion a fourni un espace conceptuel a la theologie mais aussi a d'autres disciplines comme le politique, l'histoire, la litterature ou la psychanalyse. Enfin lorsque les modeles de la conversion, contamines par ces autres champs, operent un retour sur le fait religieux, s'ouvre alors un questionnement particulier et peu etudie jusqu'a present. En effet les dynamiques de constitution, d'adhesion et de resistance a ces modeles touchent pratiquement a tous les aspects du domaine culturel et peut-etre a l'assise meme de la culture puisqu'elles interrogent les processus d'individuation et de communautarisation - processus operant autant dans leur capacite transferentielle que dans leur rapport a une eventuelle transcendance. Les contributions, si elles s'inscrivent necessairement dans un domaine et un champ methodologique disciplinaires, reussissent a maintenir une ouverture interdisciplinaire, qui permet d'apprehender le phenomene etudie dans toute sa complexite.

‎Theatres of Belief: Music and Conversion in the Early Modern City‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Paperback, 312 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:11 b/w, 12 col., 10 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503598871.‎

‎Summary These eleven essays, all centrally concerned with the intimate relationship between sound, religion, and society in the early modern world, present a sequence of test cases located in a wide variety of urban environments in Europe and the Americas. Written by an international cast of acclaimed historians and musicologists, they explore in depth the interrelated notions of conversion and confessionalisation in the shared belief that the early modern city was neither socially static nor religiously uniform. With its examples drawn from the Holy Roman Empire and the Southern Netherlands, the pluri-religious Mediterranean, and the colonial Americas both North and South, this book takes discussion of the urban soundscape, so often discussed in purely traditional terms of European institutional histories, to a new level of engagement with the concept of a totally immersive acoustic environment as conceptualised by R. Murray Schafer. From the Protestants of Douai, a bastion of the Catholic Reformation, to the bi-confessional city of Augsburg and seventeenth-century Farmington in Connecticut, where the indigenous Indian population fashioned a separate Christian entity, the intertwined religious, musical, and emotional lives of specifically grounded communities of early modern men and women are here vividly brought to life.
