ArgumentaireLa fracture confessionnelle qui touche l&#8217;Occident chr&#233;tien au XVIe si&#232;cle r&#233;volutionne durablement la place des clerg&#233;s dans les soci&#233;t&#233;s et leur emprise sur les fid&#232;les, cr&#233;ant des relations complexes. Le principe originel du luth&#233;ranisme, puis des r&#233;formes de type suisse, du sacerdoce universel a &#233;t&#233; largement relativis&#233; par la mise en place progressive d&#8217;un clerg&#233; protestant, mais il a ouvert une br&#232;che que l&#8217;on peut suivre &#224; l&#8217;&#233;poque des controverses et qui continue de fixer une diff&#233;rence fondamentale entre les deux camps. La comp&#233;tition confessionnelle dans les villes et les espaces de contact porte fr&#233;quemment sur la l&#233;gitimit&#233; m&#234;me du clerg&#233; et peut mener ponctuellement &#224; des manifestations d&#8217;anticl&#233;ricalisme, tant catholique que protestant. Pourtant, des influences r&#233;ciproques et des contacts sont observables dans des zones de coexistence confessionnelle&#160;: en effet, les espaces de fronti&#232;res peuvent faire figure d&#8217;observatoires privil&#233;gi&#233;s pour comprendre ces ph&#233;nom&#232;nes, dans une perspective nettement comparatiste, &#224; l&#8217;image des travaux d&#8217;historiens allemands comme Luise Schorn-Sch&#252;tte qui ont montr&#233; l&#8217;int&#233;r&#234;t d&#8217;analyser les influences r&#233;ciproques des clerg&#233;s, jusque dans leur fa&#231;on d&#8217;interpr&#233;ter et de consid&#233;rer le minist&#232;re pastoral.La formation des clerg&#233;s, leur organisation, leur action, les oppositions auxquelles ils doivent faire face, leurs interactions, les points communs, voire les sociabilit&#233;s de leurs membres seront autant d&#8217;angles d&#8217;&#233;tude possibles, dans une acception large des notions de &#171;&#160;fronti&#232;re&#160;&#187; (confessionnelle et/ou g&#233;opolitique) et de contacts. Les modalit&#233;s d&#8217;influences r&#233;ciproques sont nombreuses et pourront donner lieu &#224; des communications centr&#233;es sur des pratiques tr&#232;s diverses (pr&#233;dication, conf&#233;rences et controverses, pratiques de sociabilit&#233; &#233;rudite, programmes des institutions &#233;ducatives, correspondances, th&#233;ories politiques, voire eccl&#233;siologiques). Les propositions de communication pourront porter sur tout espace europ&#233;en touch&#233; par la fracture confessionnelle et par la coexistence entre plusieurs communaut&#233;s, en permettant ainsi de d&#233;finir des temporalit&#233;s (avec par exemple une volont&#233; de diff&#233;renciation sans doute plus forte au moment de l&#8217;&#233;clatement des R&#233;formes et des influences r&#233;ciproques plus visibles ensuite) et des zones o&#249; le ph&#233;nom&#232;ne s&#8217;observe plus ais&#233;ment.Modalit&#233;s de soumissionLes propositions de communication (1500 &#224; 2000 signes) seront transmisesavant mars 2014par courriel &#224; Julien L&#233;onard&#160;:julien.leonard@univ-lorraine.frElles seront transmises au comit&#233; scientifique pour examen.Le colloque aura lieu les 17 et 18 octobre 2014 &#224; Nancy.Comit&#233; scientifiqueLaurent Jalabert, Fr&#233;d&#233;ric Meyer et Stefano Simiz (Universit&#233; de Lorraine), Yves Krumenacker (Universit&#233; Jean Moulin &#8211; Lyon 3), Joseph Bergin (Manchester), Anne Bonzon (Paris 8).ArgumentThe sixteenth-century confessional divide that shook western Christendom would have a lasting effect in revolutionizing the place of the Catholic and Protestant clergies within their respective contexts as well as their grip on the believers who were entrusted to their care, creating new and complex relationships. The &#8216;universal priesthood&#8217; (or &#8216;priesthood of all believers&#8217;), which originated as a Lutheran principle and spread from there to the Reformations of the Swiss territories, was largely undermined by the institution of a Protestant clergy class, although it still created a breach that can be traced throughout the era of confessional polemics and that still represents a fundamental difference continuing to separate the two camps today. The competition between the various confessions that occurred in cities and at other meeting points frequently touched upon the very legitimacy of the respective clergies, leading to displays of anticlericalism on both sides of the Catholic and Protestant divide. Nevertheless, there is also evidence for reciprocal influence and convergence in places where these competing confessions coexisted. As such, border areas in particular can function as case studies par excellence for improving our understanding of these phenomena within a comparative perspective as evidenced in the work of such German historians as Luise Schorn-Sch&#252;tte, who have shown the value of analysing these reciprocal influences between the clergies that extended as far as the interpretation and understanding of their pastoral ministry.Using a broad definition of &#8216;borders&#8217; (as confessional or geopolitical) and &#8216;contact&#8217;, this symposium encourages the submission of proposals from a wide variety of angles, including the formation of clergies, their organization and activities, the opposition they had to face, their interaction, their points of commonality, and the entire range of social practices in which their members engaged. As the influence between the different clergies could pass along any number of channels, we are interested in papers that focus on various practices ranging from sermons, debates, controversies, and the social customs of the erudite, to the programs of educational institutions, correspondences, and political or ecclesiastical theories. Paper proposals may relate to any European place or territory that experienced this confessional divide and saw the coexistence of differing religious communities, so as to cultivate a more precise definition of the times (e.g. the need to differentiate was no doubt stronger when the Reformation first broke out than it was later on, when reciprocal influence became more clearly visible) and places where this phenomenon could be witnessed more clearly.Submission guidelinesPaper proposals (1500-2000 characters) should be sentbefore March 2014by email to Julien L&#233;onard&#160;:julien.leonard@univ-lorraine.frThese will be forwarded to the scientific committee for evaluation.The conference will be held on October 17 &#38; 18, 2014 in Nancy.Scientific CommitteeLaurent Jalabert, Fr&#233;d&#233;ric Meyer and Stefano Simiz (Universit&#233; de Lorraine), Yves Krumenacker (Universit&#233; Jean Moulin &#8211; Lyon 3), Joseph Bergin (Manchester), Anne Bonzon (Paris 8).
