How can we explain the large number of Good Friday processions that characterised Catholic Europe from the 16th to the 18th century? Jaša Drnovšek presents these early modern performances as eminently political phenomena that could only exist against the background of the Counter-Reformation and Catholic renewal. In doing so, he takes up Joachim Küpper's theory of cultural production, according to which culture can be seen as a virtual network. In his comparative cultural-historical study, Drnovšek takes an in-depth look at the history of the Capuchin and Jesuit orders, both of which contributed significantly to the rise of Good Friday processions. The Škofjeloški pasijon, the oldest Slovenian drama, whose revived performance tradition has been under UNESCO protection since 2016, plays here a special role. Kako pojasniti veliko število procesij velikega petka, ki so med 16. in 18. stoletjem zaznamovale katoliško Evropo? Jaša Drnovšek prikaže te zgodnjenovoveške sprevode kot eminentno politične fenomene, ki so lahko obstajali le v kontekstu protireformacije in katoliške prenove. Pri tem se naveže na teorijo kulturne produkcije Joachima Küpperja, po kateri lahko kulturo razumemo kot virtualno omrežje. V svoji primerjalni kulturnozgodovinski raziskavi Drnovšek podrobno osvetli zgodovino kapucinskega in jezuitskega reda, ki sta pomembno prispevala k razmahu pasijonskih procesij. Posebno vlogo pri tem ima Škofjeloški pasijon, katerega ponovno oživljena tradicija uprizarjanja je od leta 2016 pod Unescovo zaščito.

The grand thesis that the spirit of Protestantism is one of modern capitalism's great driving forces originated from Max Weber. According to him, religious foundations of inner world asceticism, Luther's concept of vocation, Calvinism, and English Puritanism had a direct influence on the development of modern kinds of economy. The thesis was not undisputed and to this day remains a prominent starting point for discussions. What can be said now in the twenty-first century about the spirit of capitalism? Do ethics still hold any sway over global financial markets and systems of production? This volume's four authors seek answers to these and other related questions from different perspectives.

Witchcraft and magic are topics of enduring interest for many reasons. The main one lies in their extraordinary interdisciplinarity: anthropologists, folklorists, historians, and more have contributed to build a body of work of extreme variety and consistence. Of course, this also means that the subjects themselves are not easy to assess. In a very general way, we can define witchcraft as a supernatural means to cause harm, death, or misfortune, while magic also belongs to the field of supernatural, or at least esoteric knowledge, but can be used to less dangerous effects (e.g., divination and astrology). In Western civilization, however, the witch hunt has set a very peculiar perspective in which diabolical witchcraft, the invention of the Sabbat, the persecution of many thousands of (mostly) female and (sometimes) male presumed witches gave way to a phenomenon that is fundamentally different from traditional witchcraft. This Special Issue of Religions dedicated to Witchcraft, Demonology, and Magic features nine articles that deal with four different regions of Europe (England, Germany, Hungary, and Italy) between Late Medieval and Modern times in different contexts and social milieus. Far from pretending to offer a complete picture, they focus on some topics that are central to the research in those fields and fit well in the current “cumulative concept of Western witchcraft” that rules out all mono-causality theories, investigating a plurality of causes.

Qu'y a-t-il de religieux dans les guerres de religion des XVIe-XVIIe siècles ? Guerres entre chrétiens et non croisades, guerres civiles dans lesquelles la frontière entre amis et ennemis ou entre soldats et simples sujets s'efface, conjonction dramatique d'émeutes urbaines, de révoltes paysannes, de soulèvements contre les nouvelles formes d'exercice du pouvoir et de massacres inouïs plus souvent qu'opérations militaires d'armées en bon ordre, elles brouillent les pistes, déjouent les interprétations trop simples, soulèvent d'innombrables questions. Pour en comprendre l'originalité profonde et le rôle décisif dans la naissance de l'Europe moderne, il faut donc croiser plusieurs analyses : une histoire comparée des guerres dans les différents territoires pour en saisir les spécificités nationales ou confessionnelles ; une étude des différents acteurs et des justifications qu'ils donnent à leur engagement dans la guerre ou dans la paix ; une description minutieuse, enfin, des formes particulières de la violence qui s'observe alors. C'est ce défi que ce livre entend relever en faisant le choix d'une perspective européenne et d'une documentation inédite, car au même titre que l'humanisme et la Renaissance, mais sur un tout autre registre, plus inquiétant, les affrontements religieux des XVIe-XVIIe siècles constituent peut-être le creuset dont est sortie l'Europe moderne.
