Abstract

In the Afro-Cuban Lukumi religious tradition-more commonly known in the United States as Santería-entrants into the priesthood undergo an extraordinary fifty-three-week initiation period. During this time, these novices-called iyawo-endure a host of prohibitions, including most notably wearing exclusively white clothing. In A Year in White, sociologist C. Lynn Carr, who underwent this initiation herself, opens a window on this remarkable year-long religious transformation. In her intimate investigation of the "year in white," Carr draws on fifty-two in-depth interviews with other participants, an online survey of nearly two hundred others, and almost a decade of her own ethnographic fieldwork, gathering stories that allow us to see how cultural newcomers and natives thought, felt, and acted with regard to their initiation. She documents how, during the iyawo year, the ritual slowly transforms the initiate's identity. For the first three months, for instance, the iyawo may not use a mirror, even to shave, and must eat all meals while seated on a mat on the floor using only a spoon and their own set of dishes. During the entire year, the iyawo loses their name and is simply addressed as "iyawo" by family and friends. Carr also shows that this year-long religious ritual-which is carried out even as the iyawo goes about daily life-offers new insight into religion in general, suggesting that the sacred is not separable from the profane and indeed that religion shares an ongoing dynamic relationship with the realities of everyday life. Religious expression happens at home, on the streets, at work and school. Offering insight not only into Santería but also into religion more generally, A Year in White makes an important contribution to our understanding of complex, dynamic religious landscapes in multicultural, pluralist societies and how they inhabit our daily lives.

Abstract

This volume studies local priests as central players in small communities of early medieval Europe. As clerics living among the laity, priests played a double role within their communities: that of local representatives of the Church and religious experts, and that of owners of land and other goods. By virtue of their membership of both the ecclesiastical and the secular world, they can be considered as ‘men in the middle’: people who brought politico-religious ideas and ideals to secular communities, and who linked the local to the supra-local via networks of landownerhsip. This book addresses both roles that local priests played by approaching them via their manuscripts, and via the charters that record transactions in which they were involved. Manuscripts once owned by local priests bear witness to their education and expertise, but also indicate how, for instance, ideals of the Carolingian reforms reached the lowest levels of early medieval society. The case-studies of collections of charters, on the other hand, show priests as active members of networks of the locally powerful in a variety of European regions. Notwithstanding many local variations, the contributions to this volume show that local priests as ‘men in the middle’ are a phenomenon shared by the early medieval world as a whole.

Abstract

Louis Tronson (1622-1700), élu en 1676 troisième supérieur de la Compagnie des prêtres de Saint-Sulpice, est connu principalement, dans l'histoire de la spiritualité, comme éditeur du Traité des saints ordres attribué à Jean-Jacques Olier (1676), auteur des Examens particuliers (1690), et hôte des entretiens d'Issy sur le quiétisme (1694-1695). L'objet de ce travail est de mieux mettre en perspective la place de cet homme dans l'histoire de la théologie catholique. Tronson joue en effet un rôle déterminant dans l'explicitation théologique de la vocation sacerdotale. Réfléchissant, à la lumière de son expérience de formateur de futurs prêtres, sur les "marques de vocation", il élabore de véritables grilles de discernement, au demeurant assez souples. Parmi ces critères, une place particulière revient à l'"inclination" ou "attrait". Résonance subjective et intime de l'appel divin, l'attrait n'est cependant pas subjectiviste : il suppose au contraire un objet qui attire, c'est-à-dire le sacerdoce, envisagé comme "état" et "fonctions", deux mots très utilisés par Tronson qui, bien loin de s'opposer, se complètent. Ainsi cet auteur peut-il proposer une vision du sacerdoce qui soit à la fois sacramentelle et sociale, spécifiquement christologique et enracinée dans la société de son temps.
