Book Synopsis Sorcellerie et justice criminelle by : Alfred Soman
Download or read book Sorcellerie et justice criminelle written by Alfred Soman and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-28 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Parlement of Paris was the largest secular court in Christendom. Although its criminal archives have been preserved virtually intact, historians of the period of the great witch trials, as well as scholars of the Ancien Régime in general, have been discouraged by the notorious difficulties of research into them, and have effectively avoided these records. Alfred Soman was the first historian to have undertaken the task. In the fifteen articles republished here, which include both detailed investigations of particular cases and broad-ranging overviews, he contends that criminal justice in the 16th- and 17th-century France was far more humane and less severe than traditional assumptions would suggest. As early as 1588, the High Court began to take steps to restrain indiscriminate witch hunting, particularly in the eastern provinces where prosecutions were instigated not in conformity with, but in defiance of, the highest judicial authority in the land. Le Parlement de Paris, la plus grande cour de justice de l’Occident, nous a légué ses archives criminelles quasiment intactes. Pourtant les historiens des procès de sorcellerie, ainsi que les spécialistes des aspects institutionnels et sociaux de l’Ancien Régime, découragés par les difficultés notoires de la recherche, ont évité l’exploitation de ces documents. Alfred Soman est le premier chercheur à en avoir relevé de défi. Dans cette série de quinze articles, qui comprennent des enquêtes détaillés, ainsi que des essais de synthèse, il soutient que l’ancienne justice a été beaucoup plus clémente et moins ’injuste’ que de vieilles idées reçues ne le prétendent. Dès 1588, la Haute Cour commença à réprimer les nombreuses poursuites pour faits de sorcellerie, plus particulièrement dans l’Est du royaume, où certains sièges subalternes entamaient des actions criminelles intempestatives, prenant le contre-pied de la politique mise en place par le Pouvoir judiciaire central.

Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage, fruit d'un colloque, est unique en son genre. Des livres et des articles ont bien été publiés sur les procès intentés aujourd'hui en Afrique contre ceux qui pratiquent la sorcellerie maléfique mais aucun colloque international - c'est-à-dire une rencontre officielle et publique - n'avait encore été tenu sur le sujet. Et qui plus est au Cameroun, où ces questions ne sont traitées qu'à mots feutrés. Et dans le contexte chrétien de l'Université catholique d'Afrique centrale (UCAC). Pour que cet événement puisse avoir lieu, il fallait que la question soit à la fois brûlante - des procès par dizaines -, partagée par l'ensemble de la société et sans réponse satisfaisante. Sur quelles preuves, en effet, les magistrats pouvaient-ils se baser pour juger, à partir de la Loi moderne, de la culpabilité ou de l'innocence d'une personne accusée de pratiquer la sorcellerie, un phénomène essentiellement occulte ? Ce qu'on appelle couramment Sorcellerie fait partie, en réalité, d'un système vieux comme le monde qui comporte un versant maléfique et un versant bénéfique ou contre-sorcellerie : une stratégie que se sont donnée les hommes pour gérer avec réalisme la menace permanente du pouvoir de nuire présent en eux. La persistance des phénomènes maléfiques de sorcellerie, et même leur augmentation dans la société moderne, montrent la relative incapacité des institutions concernées - en particulier de la Justice - à proposer aux populations le moyen de régler leurs conflits par des moyens légaux. Un grand afflux d'auditeurs a fait de ces trois jours de rencontre une tribune où les conférenciers, magistrats ou universitaires pour la plupart, ont dû faire face à de vives réactions, ce qui a donné à l'ensemble un caractère imprévisible, chose rare dans un colloque international.
Book Synopsis The Basque Witch-Hunt by : Jan Machielsen
Download or read book The Basque Witch-Hunt written by Jan Machielsen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-10-03 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In June 1609, two judges left Bordeaux for a territory at the very edge of their jurisdiction, a Basque-speaking province on the Atlantic coast called the Pays de Labourd. In four months, they executed up to 80 women and men for the crime of witchcraft, causing a wave of suspects to flee into Spain and sparking terror there. Witnesses, many of them children, described lurid tales of cannibalism, vampirism, and demonic sex. One of the judges, Pierre de Lancre, published a sensationalist account of this diabolical netherworld. With other accounts seemingly destroyed, this witch-hunt – France's largest – has always been seen through de Lancre's eyes. The narrative, re-told over the centuries, is that of a witch-hunt caused by a bigoted outsider. Newly discovered evidence paints a very different, still darker picture, revealing a secret history underneath de Lancre's well-known tale. Far from an outside imposition, witchcraft was a home-grown problem. Panic had been building up over a number of years and the region was fractured by factionalism and a struggle over scarce resources. The Basque Witch-Hunt reveals that de Lancre was no outsider; he was a local partisan, married into the Basque nobility. Living at the Franco-Spanish border, the Basques were victims of geography. Geo-politics caused a local conflict which made the witch-hunt inevitable. The same forces eventually sent thousands of religious refugees from Spain to France where they, in turn, became new objects of popular fear and anger. The Basque witch-hunt is justly infamous. This book shows that almost everything historians thought they knew about it is wrong.

Book Synopsis Classics Incorporated by : Elise Noël McMahon
Download or read book Classics Incorporated written by Elise Noël McMahon and published by Summa Publications, Inc.. This book was released on 1998 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work Professor McMahon takes a new approach to interpreting the most canonized century in French literature. By viewing literature as essentially a cultural practice, she offers an unconventional reading of canonical masterpieces of the era (Corneille's Medee, Moliere's La Bourgeois gentilhomme, Racine's Phedre, and La Fontaine's Fables) to the extent that these works are compared to "non-literary" texts which focus on the human body. "Classics Incorporated" draws on extensive archival research into such unfamiliar historical sources as cookbooks, shopping guides, treatises on medicine and monstrosity, and dance manuals. Because of this insistence on treating literature as part of a given culture and historicising texts in a novel manner, "Classics Incorporated" stands apart as a critical study that can appeal to a diverse audience: those who are interested in cultural criticism, popular culture, cultural history, and critical theory alike.

Book Synopsis Invoking the Akelarre by : Emma Wilby
Download or read book Invoking the Akelarre written by Emma Wilby and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-02 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With their dramatic descriptions of black masses and cannibalistic feasts, the records generated by the Basque witch-craze of 160914 provide us with arguably the most demonologically-stereotypical accounts of the witches sabbath or akelarre to have emerged from early modern Europe. While the trials have attracted scholarly attention, the most substantial monograph on the subject was written nearly forty years ago and most works have focused on the ways in which interrogators shaped the pattern of prosecutions and the testimonies of defendants. Invoking the Akelarre diverts from this norm by employing more recent historiographical paradigms to analyze the contributions of the accused. Through interdisciplinary analyses of both French- and Spanish-Basque records, it argues that suspects were not passive recipients of elite demonological stereotypes but animated these received templates with their own belief and experience, from the dark exoticism of magical conjuration, liturgical cursing and theatrical misrule to the sharp pragmatism of domestic medical practice and everyday religious observance. In highlighting the range of raw materials available to the suspects, the book helps us to understand how the fiction of the witches sabbath emerged to such prominence in contemporary mentalities, whilst also restoring some agency to the defendants and nuancing the historical thesis that stereotypical content points to interrogatorial opinion and folkloric content to the voices of the accused. In its local context, this study provides an intimate portrait of peasant communities as they flourished in the Basque region in this period and leaves us with the irony that Europes most sensationally-demonological accounts of the witches sabbath may have evolved out of a particularly ardent commitment, on the part of ordinary Basques, to the social and devotional structures of popular Catholicism.
Book Synopsis Witchcraft, Madness, Society, and Religion in Early Modern Germany by : H.C. Erik Midelfort
Download or read book Witchcraft, Madness, Society, and Religion in Early Modern Germany written by H.C. Erik Midelfort and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-28 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: H.C. Erik Midelfort has carved out a reputation for innovative work on early modern German history, with a particular focus on the social history of ideas and religion. This collection pulls together some of his best work on the related subjects of witchcraft, the history of madness and psychology, demonology, exorcism, and the social history of religious change in early modern Europe. Several of the pieces reprinted here constitute reviews of recent scholarly literature on their topics, while others offer sharp departures from conventional wisdom. A critique of Michel Foucault’s view of the history of madness proved both stimulating but irritating to Foucault’s most faithful readers, so it is reprinted here along with a short retrospective comment by the author. Another focus of this collection is the social history of the Holy Roman Empire, where towns, peasants, and noble families developed different perceptions of the Protestant and Catholic Reformations and of the options the religious revolutions of the sixteenth century offered. Finally, this collection also brings together articles which show how Freudian psychoanalysis and academic sociology have filtered and interpreted the history of early modern Germany.
