This paper endeavors to examine the mechanisms by which the crown of France was able to subsume the region of Languedoc in the wake of the Albigensian Crusade in the thirteenth century. The systematic use of Catholic doctrine and an inquisition run by the Dominican Order of Preachers allowed France to dominate the populace of the region and destroy any indigenous social, economic, and political structures.

This exhibition is a direct response to my own religious upbringing. I chose to explore the oppression upon women, gays and people of color by religious intolerance. The Church dictates social and political mores that affect our society and culture and the way we are treated and governed. The use of the bible and conservative belief structures to defend the ill manner in which we are treated should not be ordained in today’s social construct. In the Name of god addresses issues from the Inquisition to the current war for control over women’s bodies and our reproductive systems. By revisiting the past and illustrating earlier evidence of religious corruption, I intend to demonstrate this countries lack of understanding of anything other.

My dissertation examines the transmission and establishment of the institution of slavery from medieval Iberia into the expanding Spanish Empire and its subsequent development. This involves understanding the dynamic interactions between the law, imperial institutions, slave owners, and the enslaved. I embarked upon this subject in response to a lacuna of historical knowledge of the transition and development of slavery as it moved between the Iberian Kingdoms and took root in the expanding Atlantic Empires. Without understanding the medieval background of imperial law it is impossible to understand the particular development of the institution of slavery in Spanish America. / History

Ce travail met en lumière les initiatives du juge et du suspect d'hérésie au cours de l'interrogatoire inquisitorial. L'un comme l'autre poursuivent des buts qui sont exactement contraires: faire avouer est l'objectif du premier, taire ses « crimes » et ceux de ses proches est l'objectif du second. Les procès étudiés ont été menés au tribunal de Pamiers (Ariège France) par l'évêque Jacques Fournier entre 1318 et 1325. La source documentaire est le manuscrit 4030 de la Bibliothèque vaticane ou Registre d'Inquisition de Jacques Fournier. Les récentes avancées historiographiques sur l'hérésie dite cathare et sur l'étude des textes de la pratique que sont les registres de l'Inquisition ont débouché sur deux prises de conscience récentes et fondamentales. D'abord, l'hérésie fut en quelque sorte fabriquée par les clercs, en ce sens où ce sont eux qui l'ont définie et recherchée en fonction de critères et d'a priori propres à leur culture. Ensuite, les aveux transcrits dans les registres de l'Inquisition ne peuvent en aucun cas être tirés de leur contexte. Occulter ce contexte leur donne l'aspect d'une parole libre, dédramatisée et, finalement, vide de sens. Reconnaître que les documents relatifs à l'hérésie et à sa répression renseignent davantage sur les clercs que sur les hérétiques a amené les historiens à mettre les premiers au coeur de leurs préoccupations. Concernée par les seconds, nous choisissons de les rencontrer au sein même du rapport de pouvoir établi entre eux et le juge. Nous nous interrogeons sur les problématiques du pouvoir et de la résistance et en particulier sur la marge de manoeuvre dont disposent les dominés dans un échange inégal. Nos intérêts sont paliagés puisqu'un petit groupe d'historiens étudie depuis peu quelques procès du Registre de Pamiers en se questionnant sur les rapports de pouvoir entre juge et déposants. Notre étude est plus vaste que celles-ci. Son aspect le plus novateur réside dans la déconstruction du Registre de Pamiers (dont la logique est celle des dossiers traités) permettant une recomposition fine de l'activité journalière du tribunal de Pamiers et dans la mise en parallèle des procès menés simultanément. Les suspects d'hérésie cités au tribunal de Pamiers, à travers d'infimes détails, mais à tout moment de leur procès, ont oeuvré à leur défense. Mettre en lumière ces touts-petits indices est rendu possible par la reconstitution de la plus vaste enquête menée par l'évêque de Pamiers sur un petit pays, le pays d'Aillou, et sur une famille, la famille Clergue. Des lectures successives, la multiplication des points de vue et la variation de l'échelle d'observation font apparaître successivement et simultanément les enjeux croisés propres aux nombreux protagonistes. En se racontant à leur juge et en dénonçant les personnes de leur entourage ils répondaient à ce qu'il attendait d'eux. En ce sens, ils se sont soumis à lui. Ils ne sont toutefois pas allés au devant de ses demandes, taisant ainsi tout ce qui pouvait encore être dissimulé. Ils ont fait un tri dans leurs souvenirs en fonction de ce qu'ils se figuraient être les attentes de l'évêque de Pamiers. En autant qu'ils ont été capables de le faire, ils ont avoué ce que l'évêque savait déjà et ce qu'ils croyaient être le plus anodin. Leur objectif était de limiter, dans la mesure du possible, le châtiment qui les attendait. Sans opposer de véritable résistance, tout en avouant et en abjurant l'hérésie, ils n'ont pas endossé le rôle du pénitent que leur assignait l'Inquisition. L'originalité de notre travail tient, avant tout, à l'angle d'approche. Le Registre d'Inquisition de Jacques Fournier est un document connu, mais les confessions qu'il contient ont encore été peu étudiées pour ce qu'elles sont: des aveux d'hérésie obtenus dans le cadre d'un procès d'Inquisition. Les moyens de défense des plus humbles parmi les suspects d'hérésie sont méconnus parce que, ayant eu peu de succès, ils passent inaperçus. L'apport de notre recherche tient, en premier lieu, au fait de les avoir apréhendés dans leur déploiement plutôt que dans leur résultat, leur restituant ainsi leur réalité et les rendant pensables pour l'historien. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Inquisition, Procès, Pouvoir, Résistance, Hérésie, l4e siècle, Registre d’inquisition de Jacques Fournier.

This dissertation argues that Venetian space in the sixteenth century was embedded with various boundaries that individuals challenged and that communities and Venetian secular and ecclesiastical authorities reinforced. The development of Venetian urban space played an essential role in the formation of Venetian civic identity, which in turn was predicated upon the myth of Venice. The time period examined includes the re-establishment of the Roman Inquisition, and the early period of the Inquisition in Venice, which were concomitant with a time of religious and social disruption. Documents of the Venetian government and contemporary diarists offer contextual evidence; however, trials before the Holy Office in Venice, particularly cases involving those accused of witchcraft, inform the greatest portion of this study. Drawing on such evidence, this dissertation challenges the argument that “Venetian” society was cohesive and well balanced. By repurposing common and sacred items to invoke supernatural entities and perform heterodox practices, those accused of witchcraft challenged the Venetian secular and ecclesiastical authorities as they created a competing vision regarding the definition of domestic sacred space. Examination of the neighborhood as a social space reveals boundaries, both real and imagined, and the challenges to the boundaries that those living on the margins of society displayed through the creation of their own communities. Finally, inhabitants’ use of public space and their movement throughout these spaces offers evidence of challenges to boundaries as well as the measures authorities took in re-establishing these boundaries. Ultimately, competing desires for belonging and legitimacy, as well as disagreements over physical, ideological, and social boundaries set Venetian inhabitants and authorities in opposition.

In 1492, the Catholic Monarchs Isabel and Ferdinand conquered Granada, the last Muslim Kingdom in Spain, issued the edict of expulsion of Jews and charged Christopher Columbus to find out a western route to Indies who by coincidence discovered America. These three momentous events led to construction of Spanish national unity and of the Spanish world empire. In this study, what we are looking for is the impact of the first two events, the conquest of Granada and the expulsion of the Jews, on the formation of the Spanish national unity and the Spanish nationhood vis-&agrave / -vis Jews and Muslims in its historical context. In this study, the concept of nation-building would be employed not in economic but in political, religious and cultural terms. This study, by using the historical analysis method, found that centuries-long Muslim and Jewish presence in Spain and the Spaniards&rsquo / fight for exterminating this religious, cultural and political pluralism led to the formation of unitary Catholic state and society in Spain in the period under consideration.

Escrita em Portugal, no início do século XVIII, mas publicada, no Brasil, apenas em 1861-1862, a novela é atribuída a Antonio José da Silva (1705-1739), autor conhecido por suas peças para teatro de bonecos, nas quais usava satirizar as instituições e os valores morais e sociais de sua época. Cristão-novo, mais conhecido pelo apelido O Judeu, Antonio José foi preso e torturado, em 1726, por crime de judaísmo. Foi depois dessa primeira prisão que Antonio José passou a escrever e fazer representarem suas peças, como forma disfarçada de agressão e resistência ao Tribunal da Inquisição, até ser preso novamente e executado em auto-de-fé, em 1739. Esta dissertação de mestrado se propõe a investigar a mensagem camuflada das Obras do Diabinho da Mão Furada, e interpretar a crítica ao Tribunal da Inquisição, disfarçada, textualmente, em apologia da doutrina católica. / Obras do Diabinho da Mão Furada is a controversial text, because it seems that, under a catholic and doctrinal shape, it transmits a message against that same doctrine and against its practices. The story was written in Portugal, in the beginning of the XVIIIth century, but it was published in Brazil in 1861-1862. Its authorship is imputed to Antonio José da Silva (1705-1739), an author known by his puppet plays, which he used to satirize the institutions, the moral and the social values of his age. Antonio José, better known as The Jew, was arrested and tortured in 1726, because of jewish practices. After that, he began to write and perform his plays, as a disguised form of agression and resistence to the Inquisition, and done it until his last imprisonment and death (1739). The motion of this present work is an investigation of the disguised message of the story Obras do Diabinho da Mão Furada, in order to decode the assaults against the Inquisition - assaults textually disguised beneath an eulogy of the catholic doctrine.

But those linguistic structures say a lot more than what we see on the surface. The words contain information beyond its linguistic constitution. Thus, because we know that there is information that we intend to analyze the text discursively O Santo Inquérito, the writer Dias Gomes, that, in general, tells the story of Branca Dias, a New Christian (former Jew), tried, convicted and killed in the fire of the Holy Inquisition. We intend to fundamentally identify the brands of power and misogyny contained in this work. However, we would not reach our goal if not for the valuable contribution of the assumptions of discourse analysis, which, as a method of interpretation, the approach of the countless ways that make up the narrative. Throughout the work, and present considerations discussed by various authors on subjects that are related to our object of study, including: Novinsky (2007) and Niskier (2006), who study the issue of the New Christians in Brazil; Muraro (1991) and Beuavoir (2009), who study gender and misogyny, and Pecheux (1995) and Bakhtin (2003), that support the discussions of Discourse Analysis. / Os enunciados, os textos, as histórias, estão sempre narrando a existência humana, seja a vida entendida como real ou a vida inventada . Acontece que essas estruturas linguísticas dizem muito mais do que aquilo que percebemos superficialmente. As palavras contêm informações para além de sua constituição linguística. Dessa forma, por sabermos que há essas informações é que nos propomos a analisar discursivamente o texto O Santo Inquérito, do escritor Dias Gomes; que, em linhas gerais, narra a história de Branca Dias, uma cristãnova (ex-judia), julgada, condenada e morta na fogueira da Santa Inquisição. Pretendemos, fundamentalmente, identificar as marcas de poder e misoginia contidas na referida obra. Contudo, não atingiríamos nosso objetivo se não fosse a valiosa contribuição dos pressupostos da Análise do Discurso, que, enquanto método de interpretação, nos aproxima dos incontáveis sentidos que compõem a narrativa. Ao longo do trabalho, discutimos e apresentamos considerações de vários autores, sobre assuntos que estão relacionados ao nosso objeto de estudo, dentre eles: Novinsky (2007) e Niskier (2006), que estudam a questão dos cristãos-novos em território brasileiro; Muraro (1991) e Beuavoir (2009), que estudam sobre gênero e misoginia; e Pêcheux (1995) e Bakhtin (2003), que embasam as discussões sobre a Análise do Discurso.
