Alla luce del recente interesse per il pensiero della cosiddetta “prima scuola francescana” di Parigi (prima metà del XIII sec.), il convegno è dedicato alla dottrina delle idee divine per come essa è stata ricevuta e sviluppata dagli autori afferenti a quest’ambito. Il convegno si svilupperà in due mezze giornate. Nel corso della prima verranno analizzate alcune fonti classiche della dottrina delle idee divine (Agostino, ps.-Dionigi, Giovanni Damasceno, Ugo di san Vittore), investigando non solo gli autori della tradizione latina, ma anche il pensiero di alcuni autori della patristica greca, i cui testi erano disponibili in traduzione nella Parigi del XIII secolo.  La seconda parte del convegno si concentrerà invece proprio sui primi autori provenienti dai ranghi dei frati minori (Filippo il Cancelliere, Giovanni de La Rochelle, la Summa Halensis, Odo Rigaldi, Bonaventura), portando alla luce la loro personale elaborazione del tema delle idee divine, nonché il loro contributo alla storia di questa dottrina.

El Congreso se propone abordar el proceso globalizador a través de una perspectiva eminentemente comparatista. Las diferentes comunicaciones se enmarcan en cuatro ámbitos disciplinarios fundamentales: Historia, Geografía, Literatura y Filosofía. El objetivo es dar cuerpo a una interpretación más completa del momento germinal de la Globalización, cuyas raíces son específicamente ibéricas o mediterráneas, así como de sus consecuencias culturales.

The topic: “The Rupture of Space”, alludes to the rupture of the geographical and cultural boundaries that the adventure of the circumference of the Planet led by Magellan and completed by Elcano and financed by the Spanish Crown entailed. It is the expression of a (philosophical, theological, juridical, artistic, literary) mental rupture that was being forged in Humanism and which, in turn, implied its strengthening and projection.

The proposed activities are those expected in a Symposium: plenary presentations, tables with speeches including the discussion and debate on behalf of the attendees that favor the communication and enrichment of shared knowledge, a special session of doctoral students, and personal meeting spaces. The publication of the work presented is also intended in one or two publications ad hoc in prestigious publishing houses.

In the Catholic Church’s tradition and canon law, canonizations represent the final step of trials aiming to verify the heroicity of virtues and/or the martyrdom of those who died in the odor of sanctity. At the same time, canonizations also confirm specific hagiographical models, namely models of Christian perfection or holiness, as imitable behavioral examples.

Such models range from virgins to missionaries and martyrs, confessors, and — especially in the 1900s — good mothers and physicians, to name but a few. They not only convey precise messages to devotees but are rooted in theology and culture, reflecting the identity traits and values of the canonizations’ postulators — especially when backed by religious orders — as well as the cultural features of the societies that fostered these devotions.

This online conference thus aims to bring together the authors of papers related to the promotion of causes for canonization and hagiographical models, which were developed globally from the 1500s to the 1900s, paying particular attention to the role of theology and culture in shaping hagiographical models.

We welcome papers on topics including but not limited to:

• The theological legitimization of doctrinal and moral positions through canonization
• The legitimization of early modern religious orders through the canonization of their founders, such as in the 1622 canonizations
• Martyrdom and suffering, including in missions ad gentes and ad intra
• Self-sacrifice, including cases of atonement and stigmata
• Case studies of both successful and unsuccessful models of sanctity

The conference will be held online from December 15 through 17, 2021, and is organized by Elisa Frei (Università di Macerata and Boston College) and Eleonora Rai (KU Leuven).
