SUMMARY:[Historikertag 2018] ‘Civil Wars’ in the late Middle Ages: France, England, Burgundian Low Countries, Catalonia and Naples. Comparative Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Under the impression of social changes after 9/11, international terrorism and the war on terror, the idea of a global civil war arises once again. For decades, this construct of a world-wide civil war has been influencing the thinking of various intellectuals. New impetus was given by Giorgio Agamben, who stated after 9/11 that the area of depoliticized private life has been lost because the state could no longer guarantee it as a retreat or safe haven. The reason is that global civil war – characterized by terrorist tactics – is not carried out purely physically, but also in all arenas of today’s media world. All this increases general agitation and deepens contemporary divisions. The effects of the politicization of the private sphere on our societies cannot be foreseen, yet. However, statements about similar phenomena in historical contexts can be made, and we can activate the resources of knowledge of medieval studies for the benefit of the social discourse on civil wars. Though, the otherness of the Middle Ages seems to be an insurmountable obstacle. In medieval society, neither the public sphere nor the politically constituted community can be clearly defined, since a genuine concept did not exist. Therefore, it is difficult to find examples of its violent internal erosion. Nevertheless, we know medieval “internal conflicts” that escalated along social, religious as well as legal divisions and run the risk to destroy societies. At this point, the politicization of the former unpolitical area led to the formation of the public sphere in the Middle Ages. At the beginning of the section, E. Lecuppre-Desjardin will compare propaganda and polemics during the conflict between Armagnacs and Bourguignons in France and the Wars of the Roses. R. Chilà will then focus on the struggle between factions in Naples and its reception until the 17th century, while S. Péquignot will analyze in his paper the so called Catalan Civil War (1462-1473). G. Lecuppre and M. Depreter will finally study internal conflicts in Hainaut, Holland and Zealand in the 14th and 15th centuries.
