Abstract

The author discusses how religious groups, especially Jews, Mormons and Jesuits, were labeled as foreign and constructed as political, moral and national threats in Scandinavia in different periods between c. 1790 and 1960. Key questions are who articulated such opinions, how was the threat depicted, and to what extent did it influence state policies towards these groups. A special focus is given to Norway, because the Constitution of 1814 included a ban against Jews (repelled in 1851) and Jesuits (repelled in 1956), and because Mormons were denied the status of a legal religion until freedom of religion was codified in the Constitution in 1964. The author emphasizes how the construction of religious minorities as perils of society influenced the definition of national identities in all Scandinavia, from the late 18th Century until well after WWII. The argument is that Jews, Mormons and Jesuits all were constructed as "anti-citizens", as opposites of what it meant to be "good" citizens of the nation. The discourse that framed the need for national protection against foreign religious groups was transboundary. Consequently, transnational stereotypes contributed significantly in defining national identities.

Abstract

From the late sixteenth century until their expulsion in 1767, members of the Society of Jesus played an important role in the urban life of Spanish America and as administrators of frontier missions. This study examines the organization of the Society of Jesus in Spanish America in large provinces, as well as the different urban institutions such as colegios and frontier missions. It outlines the spiritual and educational activities in cities. The Jesuits supported the royal initiative to evangelize indigenous populations on the frontiers, but the outcomes that did not always conform to expectations. One reason for this was the effect of diseases such as smallpox on the indigenous populations. Finally, it examines the 1767 expulsion of the Jesuits from Spanish territories. Some died before leaving the Americas or at sea. The majority reached Spain and were later shipped to exile in the Papal States. Readership: All interested in the history of colonial Spanish America, the role of the Catholic church in colonial Spanish America, and frontier missions. Anyone interested in historical demography. Keywords: Society of Jesus, education, Misión Popular, colegios, frontier missions, Guaraní, Sonora-Sinaloa, Chaco, Baja California, expulsion.

Abstract

Almost from the moment the Jesuits were founded in 1540 by Ignatius of Loyola and his companions they suffered from misunderstanding, some positive, much of it negative. Myth and misinformation abounded. The Society of Jesus, the Jesuits' official name, was a society of saints or of devils incarnate. Not until the mid-twentieth century did historians begin to dispel some of the myths, but only with John O'Malley's The First Jesuits (1993) did a new era open in the study of the Society. Since then the Jesuits have attracted great attention from scholars of all disciplines on an international basis. O'Malley has continued to write about Saint Ignatius and the subsequent history of the Jesuits. This volume contains a number of such studies and presses forward the trajectory he launched two decades ago with his book.

Abstract

Dans l’argumentaire des « justificatifs » de l’esclavage et de la traite des Noirs, la principale raison invoquée était d’ordre religieux : sauver des âmes. Mais en Amérique, le travail pastoral auprès des Noirs était-il mené à bien ? Et avec quels résultats ? Cette étude présente le processus d’évangélisation des populations noires dans l’Audience du Nouveau Royaume de Grenade (actuelle Colombie) au XVIIe siècle, et l’accueil que celles-ci réservèrent à la nouvelle religion. L’auteur retrace le rôle de la Couronne espagnole dans l’implantation de l’Église en Amérique et plus particulièrement en Nouvelle Grenade, ainsi que la situation du clergé (installation, charges, déficiences). Une étude originale des créations et désagrégations de paroisses met en exergue les obstacles rencontrés dans le travail d’évangélisation réalisé auprès des Noirs dans les différents évêchés au XVIIe siècle. Les Jésuites jouèrent un rôle primordial dans cette évangélisation ; leur action et leur méthode sont donc exposées, en particulier celle d’Alonso de Sandoval et de Pierre Claver qui se distinguèrent dans ce ministère. Pour appréhender le rapport des Noirs avec la religion, l’auteur recense les moyens utilisés par l’Église pour obtenir, conserver ou accentuer la dévotion des fidèles, ainsi que les différents moyens de contrôle destinés à éviter les déviances reprochées aux Noirs (beuveries, transes, blasphème, sorcellerie...). Un bref aperçu des religions d’Afrique permet de déceler quelques croyances ancestrales dans la religion des Afro-américains - même officiellement convertis-, survivances qui peuvent être aussi considérées comme actes de résistance à la christianisation et à l’acculturation. Se gardant de tout préconçu idéologique ou de tout manichéisme et se fondant exclusivement sur les documents replacés dans le contexte de leur époque, cette étude apporte incontestablement un regard nouveau sur la condition spirituelle des Noirs au XVIIe siècle.
