Civic Religion in Late Medieval Marseille: the Hospital of Saint-Esprit, 1306-1457 Civic Religion in Late Medieval Marseille: The Hospital of Saint-Esprit, 1306-1457 Caley McCarthy Department of History and Classical Studies McGill University, Montreal Submitted August 2020 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. © Caley McCarthy, 2020 ii Abstract This thesis examines the function of the Hospital of Saint-Esprit in Marseille between 1306 and 1457. It relies on daily account books produced by the hospital administrators to tell the social history of the institution, reconstructing the role of the hospital in the community and as a community in late medieval Marseille. The incomes and expenditures recorded in the accounts reveal that the Hospital of Saint-Esprit served as an expression of “civic religion” in Marseille and, as such, functioned in the city at both a community and individual level. From the time of its foundation in 1188, Saint-Esprit had close ties to the various governing bodies of Marseille; by at least the beginning of the fourteenth century, the municipal council appointed annually two rectors to oversee its administration. This association granted the hospital both a symbolic and a functional role in civic life in Marseille. Symbolically, association with the hospital conferred social and political capital on individuals. Functionally, the council’s oversight of the hospital allows it to be understood as an expression of communal health measures in the city. Yet the Hospital of Saint-Esprit was not simply an instrument of civic authorities; that it was able to participate as it did in the civic realm attests to the socio-cultural value ascribed to it. The hospital institutionalized the charitable ideals of the period, performing the seven corporal works of mercy to provide for the sick and needy whose suffering brought them closer to Christ. These individuals lacked traditional social networks in the city that could otherwise offer support in times of need, and thus suffered a need that is inextricably physical, spiritual, and social. Their social rootlessness in the city resulted, sometimes, from situation – as in the case of abandoned infants – and, sometimes, from circumstance – as in the case of the many sick and injured of the galleys who passed through the port. Through the performance of the seven corporal works of iii mercy, Saint-Esprit provided a community for those who lacked one in the city and, through baptism of infants and prayer for and commemoration of the dead, they incorporated into a community in the afterlife those who otherwise lacked one in this life. Résumé Cette thèse s'articule autour de la fonction de l'Hôpital du Saint-Esprit de Marseille de 1306 à 1457. Elle s'appuie sur des livres de comptes quotidiens produits par les administrateurs de cet hôpital. Elle raconte donc l'histoire sociale de l'établissement en reconstituant le rôle de l'hôpital dans la communauté Marseillaise, mais aussi comme une communauté en soi-même. Les revenus et dépenses enregistrés dans les comptes révèlent que l'hôpital du Saint-Esprit a servi d'expression de la “religion civique” à Marseille et, à ce titre, a fonctionné dans la ville tant au niveau communautaire qu'individuel. Dès sa fondation en 1188, le Saint-Esprit entretenait des liens étroits avec les différents pouvoirs dirigeants Marseille. Depuis au moins le début du XIVe siècle, le conseil municipal nommait chaque année deux recteurs pour superviser son administration. Cette association confère à l'hôpital à la fois un rôle symbolique et fonctionnel dans la vie civique marseillaise. Symboliquement, l'association avec l'hôpital conférait un capital social et politique aux individus. Sur le plan fonctionnel, la surveillance exercée par le conseil sur l'hôpital permet de le comprendre comme l'expression des mesures de santé communautaire dans la ville. Mais l'hôpital du Saint-Esprit n'était pas simplement l’instrument des autorités civiques. Sa participation robuste dans le domaine civique atteste de la valeur socioculturelle qui lui est attribuée. L'hôpital a institutionnalisé les idéaux caritatifs de l'époque, accomplissant les sept œuvres de miséricorde corporelle pour subvenir aux besoins des malades et des indigents dont leurs souffrances les ont rapprochés du Christ. Ces personnes manquaient accès aux réseaux iv sociaux traditionnels de la ville qui pourraient autrement fournir un soutien en cas de besoin. Elles ont donc souffert d'un besoin inextricablement physique, spirituel et social. Leur déracinement social dans la ville résultait, parfois, de leur situation – comme dans le cas des enfants abandonnés – et, parfois, de leurs circonstances – comme dans le cas des nombreux malades et blessés des galères qui traversent le port. Grâce à l'exécution des sept œuvres de miséricorde corporelle, le Saint-Esprit fournissait une communauté pour ceux et celles qui en manquaient autrement dans la ville. Soit par le baptême des nourrissons soit par la prière pour les défunts, les agents de l'hôpital ont incorporé ceux et celles qui manquaient une communauté terrestre dans la communauté de l'au-delà. v Acknowledgements This research was made possible through the financial support of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and McGill University. It took off and took shape thanks to innumerable individuals. My sincerest gratitude goes to Prof. Faith Wallis, for her constant guidance and for her patience as I fumbled through this process; to Prof. Geneviève Dumas, whose knowledge of the language, hand, and nature of the records allowed me to get to know them; and to Prof. Paula Clarke, who helped me to see beyond these records. I am grateful, also, to Prof. Daniel Le Blévec, whose direction during my time in Montpellier led me to this project, and to Prof. Francine Michaud and Prof. Daniel Smail, who have been so generous in their conversations with me. Prof. Steven Bednarski has provided me with more opportunities, more experience, and more support and guidance than I could ever have imagined: thank you. I have had the privilege of being supported by generous peers throughout this process. I spent many hours writing beside Marjorie Hopkins, whose commitment helped me to structure my own time, and many hours in the archives with Rebecca MacAlpine, who helped me to capture furiously photos of my records. Andrew Moore has read various versions and various aspects of this work. He has spent days discussing minute concepts, challenging single sentences, and pushing me to be better; this would not have been possible without his support. My friends and family survived me and supported me throughout these long years, and I would not be where I am without them. Kayla Maunsell has provided me with sanity and reprieve, and Montgomery and Loki have been there for me even on the bad days. My parents have supported and encouraged me more often and in more ways than I think they know, and I am more grateful than I think they know. My sister, Devin, has always kept me going with her scathing sense of humour and her understanding. Thank you. vi Table of Contents Abstract ................................................................................................................................ ii Acknowledgements ............................................................................................................... v Introduction .......................................................................................................................... 1 Part One: The Institutional History of Saint-Esprit ................................................................. 21 Chapter 1: The religious landscape: the role of the poor in medieval Christianity .................. 21 1.1 Introduction ........................................................................................................................... 21 1.2 Monasticism........................................................................................................................... 22 1.3 Mendicants ............................................................................................................................ 27 1.4 Lay Piety ................................................................................................................................ 34 1.5 Confraternities and Hospitals .................................................................................................. 37 1.6 Conclusion ............................................................................................................................. 48 Chapter 2: The Hospital and the City .................................................................................... 50 2.1 Introduction ........................................................................................................................... 50 2.2 The Confraternity of Saint-Esprit, the Order of Saint-Esprit, and the Hospital of Saint-Esprit: An Historiographical Debate .............................................................................................................. 51 2.3 The Hospital and the City ........................................................................................................ 64 2.4 Urban Health in Marseille ....................................................................................................... 71 2.5 Conclusion ............................................................................................................................. 86 Part Two:

  • Olena Semenyaka, the “First Lady” of Ukrainian Nationalism
    Olena Semenyaka, The “First Lady” of Ukrainian Nationalism Adrien Nonjon Illiberalism Studies Program Working Papers, September 2020 For years, Ukrainian nationalist movements such as Svoboda or Pravyi Sektor were promoting an introverted, state-centered nationalism inherited from the early 1930s’ Ukrainian Nationalist Organization (Orhanizatsiia Ukrayins'kykh Natsionalistiv) and largely dominated by Western Ukrainian and Galician nationalist worldviews. The EuroMaidan revolution, Crimea’s annexation by Russia, and the war in Donbas changed the paradigm of Ukrainian nationalism, giving birth to the Azov movement. The Azov National Corps (Natsional’nyj korpus), led by Andriy Biletsky, was created on October 16, 2014, on the basis of the Azov regiment, now integrated into the Ukrainian National Guard. The Azov National Corps is now a nationalist party claiming around 10,000 members and deployed in Ukrainian society through various initiatives, such as patriotic training camps for children (Azovets) and militia groups (Natsional’ny druzhiny). Azov can be described as a neo- nationalism, in tune with current European far-right transformations: it refuses to be locked into old- fashioned myths obsessed with a colonial relationship to Russia, and it sees itself as outward-looking in that its intellectual framework goes beyond Ukraine’s territory, deliberately engaging pan- European strategies. Olena Semenyaka (b. 1987) is the female figurehead of the Azov movement: she has been the international secretary of the National Corps since 2018 (and de facto leader since the party’s very foundation in 2016) while leading the publishing house and metapolitical club Plomin (Flame). Gaining in visibility as the Azov regiment transformed into a multifaceted movement, Semenyaka has become a major nationalist theorist in Ukraine.

  • Negative Shocks and Mass Persecutions: Evidence from the Black Death
    Negative Shocks and Mass Persecutions: Evidence from the Black Death Remi Jedwab and Noel D. Johnson and Mark Koyama⇤ April 16, 2018 Abstract We study the Black Death pogroms to shed light on the factors determining when a minority group will face persecution. In theory, negative shocks increase the likelihood that minorities are persecuted. But, as shocks become more severe, the persecution probability decreases if there are economic complementarities between majority and minority groups. The effects of shocks on persecutions are thus ambiguous. We compile city-level data on Black Death mortality and Jewish persecutions. At an aggregate level, scapegoating increases the probability of a persecution. However, cities which experienced higher plague mortality rates were less likely to persecute. Furthermore, for a given mortality shock, persecutions were less likely in cities where Jews played an important economic role and more likely in cities where people were more inclined to believe conspiracy theories that blamed the Jews for the plague. Our results have contemporary relevance given interest in the impact of economic, environmental and epidemiological shocks on conflict.

    Metal in Three Modes of Enmity: Political, Musical, Cosmic Gerd Bayer ed. 2009. Heavy Metal Music in Britain. Surrey, UK and Burlington, VT: Ashgate. Steve Waksman. 2009. This Ain't the Summer of Love: Conflict and Crossover in Heavy Metal and Punk. Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press. Nicola Masciandaro ed. 2010. Hideous Gnosis: Black Metal Theory Sympoisum 1. Charleston: CreateSpace. Reviewed by Juliet Forshaw Scholarship on metal always seems a little bewildered or put on the defensive by the genre's profoundly adversarial nature. Metal certainly opposes some­ thing, and to a large extent is defined by this opposition rather than by any obvious message of its own, but what exactly does it oppose? Certain political values? Certain kinds of music? Certain religions? Or does it represent a vague opposition to "things in general;" is it the music of rebellion without a cause? The short answer, judging by the academic treatments under review here as well as earlier attempts to censor it, is that it opposes whatever its interpreters want it to. Thus its critics site accusations of racism, sexism, and homophobia, while supporters praise its supposed opposition to capitalism, strict gender roles, and even the concept of order itself. Many of these metal partisans, especially those whose primary concern is the rehabilitation of an art form often perceived as ethically problematic, spend so much time explaining away its disturbing features that they ignore the possibility that disturbance is precisely the point. Even those who do recognize disturbance as a fundamental aim of metal and call attention to the specific forms that that disturbance takes, such as expressions of animosity toward certain groups of people, often fail to explain why listeners are attracted to these sounds.

  • Pestepidemie in Der Black Metal-Szene Anarchistische Timur
    Pestepidemie in der Black Metal-Szene [1]In den letzten Jahren neigt der National Socialist Black Matal (NSBM) dazu, sich als ob nichts dabei wäre auf verschiedenen Metal-Festivals einzuladen : während das Phänomen in Norwegen oder Deutschland ernstgenommen wird, scheint man in Frankreich, wo eine NSBM-Gruppe wie "Peste Noire" von der Öffentlichkeit unbeachtet auftreten darf, das Ausmaß der Gefahr, die dieser von zahlreichen Metal-Fans unerwünschte neonazistische Auswuchs darstellt, nicht zu erkennen. Wenn die Gruppen des Black Metal - einer in den 1980er Jahren entstandenen düsteren und teils melancholischen Unterart des Heavy Metal - die satanistischen Bezüge verstärken, an der Beschreibung aller möglichen Formen von extremer Gewalt Gefallen finden und oft mit großem misanthropischen Elan zum endgültigen Untergang der Menschheit aufrufen, muss man grundsätzlich darin zunächst eine ausgesprochene Lust an der Provokation anstatt einer tatsächlichen Absicht, derartiges umzusetzen, sehen, trotz einiger makabrer Ereignisse (Kirchen-Brandstiftung, Selbstmorde und Morde), die die Geschichte dieser Bewegung begleiten. Einige Black Metal-Bands verteidigen sogar antirassistische, anarchistische[2], Selbstverwaltungs- oder ökologische Ideale; ja sogar antifaschistische, wie die russische Gruppe Distress, in der der im November 2005 von Neonazis ermordete Timur Kachavara [3] gespielt hat.

    Epidemiology of Terror: Health, Horror, and Politics in Colonial and Postcolonial Literature Anjuli Raza Kolb Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Anjuli Raza Kolb All rights reserved Abstract Epidemiology of Terror: Health, Horror, and Politics in Colonial and Postcolonial Literature Anjuli Raza Kolb This dissertation is intended primarily as a contribution to postcolonial criticism and theory and the rhetorical analysis of epidemic writing as they undergo various crises and sublimations in the geopolitical landscape that has come into focus since the multilateral undertaking of the War on Terror in 2001. I begin with a set of questions about representation: when, how, and why are extra- legal, insurgent, anti-colonial, and terrorist forms of violence figured as epidemics in literature and connected discursive forms? What events in colonial history and scientific practice make such representations possible? And how do these representational patterns and their corollary modes of interpretation both reflect and transform discourse and policy? Although the figure is ubiquitous, it is far from simple. I argue that the discourse of the late colonial era is crucial to an understanding of how epidemiological science arises and converges with colonial management technologies, binding the British response to the 1857 mutiny and a growing Indian nationalism to the development of surveillance and quarantine programs

    Festival d’Avignon 65e édition du 6 au 26 juillet 2011 -------------------------------- PROGRAMME Mécène du Festival en notre âme et conscience Tout a été dit sur le Festival d’Avignon. Presque tout. On sait qu’il est l’un des rendez-vous incontournables de la création contemporaine, non seulement théâtrale, mais aussi chorégraphique, ainsi qu’en témoigne la programmation de cet été. On sait moins qu’il est un lieu de rencontres d’artistes avec des associations d’éducation populaire et de publics en situation de précarité. On sait moins qu’il organise des actions ciblées qui s’adressent aux lycéens aussi bien qu’aux détenus du centre pénitentiaire du Pontet. Le premier festival des arts vivants doit sa renommée internationale à cette faculté d’être en prise avec le réel, qui le fonde et le perpétue. La création, vecteur de citoyenneté – Illustration : Vincent Alran. et facteur de solidarité ? C’est le défi que relève chaque été le Festival d’Avignon. On connaît moins son partenaire de longue date qui partage ses valeurs 9pk_\nXp:i\XZfd et devient aujourd’hui son mécène principal : la Fondation Crédit Coopératif. Une fondation en lutte contre l’exclusion, pour une solidarité internationale. Une fondation partenaire des chercheurs en économie sociale. Une fondation engagée auprès d’associations, de coopératives, de mutuelles pour trouver des réponses durables aux enjeux de notre société. Culture et solidarité. Ce sont deux mots qui vont bien ensemble. Deux mots qui réunissent le Festival d’Avignon et la Fondation Crédit Coopératif, membre du cercle des Grands Mécènes de la Culture. Un grand artiste a dit que le théâtre soutient l’âme.

Si la droite exagère à la fois son ampleur et sa portée, la gauche a refusé à maintes reprises d’affronter le problème. Elle est de plus en plus impliquée dans des scandales liés à l’antisémitisme2. Dans la gauche occidentale, un certain antisémitisme se manifeste parfois sous la forme de théories du complot, mais on observe aussi un refus généralisé de reconnaître son existence et sa présence. Ce déni fait partie d’un refus plus large de traiter des questions juives en général, ou de reconnaître l’existence de la communauté juive et de s’adresser à elle comme à une entité réelle.
