Content
2020-2021
A Tridentine Paradigm? Invention and reinvention of Tridentine Catholicism (18th - 20th centuries).
II. Places and objects of research
Following on from the previous seminar on the Council of Trent, the course will return to the historiography of modern Catholicism and, above all, to the idea put forward by Paolo Prodi that the modern and the nineteenth and twentieth centuries were an "epoch" in the history of the Church. It will explore how the history of modern Catholicism in the 19th and 20th centuries is written, focusing on problematic places and objects (history of the clergy, history of doctrinal controversies, history of secularization, history of the globalization of Catholicism).
The seminar will specifically emphasize the centrality of the 19th and 20th centuries in the elaboration of the historical image of Early modern Catholicism and will try to explore how historical imagination shaped modern Catholicism, including different understandings of Catholicism.
