| Title |
Religious interactions in Late Antiquity (IV-VIII centuries): sources, categories, and debates |
| Description |
This course proposes to analyse the interactions between different religious groups (“pagans”, Christians, Jews, and Muslims) in the late antique period, roughly from the 4th to the 8th century. To do this, we will recall some categories of analysis that have emerged and followed one another in recent years in the study of religious dynamics (and not only): for example, the concept of tolerance; that of cohabitation and the “marketplace of religions”; competition and coping; up to the idea of “religious co-production”. Reading and commenting on the different types of sources (in particular literary, legal, and epigraphic) from Late antiquity during the lessons will indeed be accompanied by an overview of how these sources and the religious interactions ì have been treated according to these categories. There are therefore two levels of analysis: 1. the historical one, that is the reconstruction of religious interactions starting from our sources; 2. the “historiographical” one, which consist in the outline of the academic debates on religious interactions. |
