Synopsis Radicalism and dissent in the sixteenth century by : Hans-Jürgen Goertz

Dieses Beiheft zur Zeitschrift für Historische Forschung enthält Vorträge, die auf einer Tagung des Vereins für Reformationsgeschichte und der American Society for Reformation Research im August 1999 in Wittenberg zu 'Radikalität und Dissent im 16. Jahrhundert' gehalten wurden. Thomas Müntzer, die Täufer und die Spiritualisten waren die typischen Vertreter einer 'radikalen Reformation'. Sie werden in diesem zweisprachigen Band mit Konzepten von Radikalität, Dissent und Nonkonformismus konfrontiert, die nach einer bewegten Forschungsgeschichte noch einmal der Klärung unterzogen und mit der Radikalität des reformatorischen Aufbruchs allgemein vermittelt werden. Stärker als bisher sind die Begriffe der Radikalität und des Dissents als historische Kategorien zur Deutung der Frühen Neuzeit überprüft und geschärft worden. Aufgenommen wurden in diesen Band schließlich Beiträge, die nicht nur radikale Äußerungen in überwiegend religiös bestimmten Bewegungen des 16. Jahrhunderts behandeln, sondern auch Züge gesellschaftsverändernden Verhaltens in volkstümlicheren Gesten der Verweigerung oder des Widerstands sowie Zeichen offener oder heimlicher Solidarität des 'gemeinen Mannes' mit den verfolgten Täufern aufspüren.

Synopsis Radicalism and Dissent in the World of Protestant Reform by : VolkswagenStiftung,

This volume of essays explores the themes of radicalism and dissent within Protestantism. The comparisons highlight the contingent nature of particular settlements and narratives, and reveal the extent to which the definition of religious radicalism was dependent upon immediate context and show that radicalism and dissent were truly transnational phenomena. The historiography of the so-called radical reformation has been unduly shaped by the hostile categories imposed by mainstream or magisterial reformers during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This volume argues that scholars should adopt an open-ended understanding of evangelical reform, and recognize that the boundaries between radicalism and its opposite were not always firmly drawn. The distinction between the two is an inheritance of the Lutheran Reformation of the 1520s, which shaped not only the later course of the Reformation in the Holy Roman Empire but also attitudes towards and writings on religious dissent in the Netherlands and England. Radical critique is immanent within mainstream Protestantism, in a faith that emphasizes the power of the gospel with its unrelenting demands.

Synopsis Disciplined Dissent by : Autori Vari

Inspired by current debates around political confrontation and the exercise of power, Fabrizio Titone offers an interpretation based on the concept of disciplined dissent. This interpretation is centred on the notion of diffused power and is designed to transcend the binary distinction consensus/resistance. The aim is to identify the conservative process involved in mounting a critique, a protest, through which those who object may have intercepted and then deployed on their own account the cultural repertoire of those in a position of authority. This was with a view to obtaining a hearing, or even influencing the activities of the government and decentering the exercise of power. The essays collected here take as their theoretical point of departure the concept of disciplined dissent. In order to ascertain how adaptable the latter is, the decision was taken to include studies relating to wholly distinct political contexts. Contributions by scholars from different backgrounds shed light upon different circumstances prevailing in continental and non-continental medieval Europe. The aim is to offer a broad spectrum of analyses on political confrontation, the formulation of critiques and the attainment of spaces for participation by means of non-violent protest.

Synopsis The Radical Reformation by : George Huntston Williams

George Williams' monumental The Radical Reformation has been an essential reference work for historians of early modern Europe, narrating in rich, interpretative detail the interconnected stories of radical groups operating at the margins of the mainline Reformation. In its scope--spanning all of Europe from Spain to Poland, from Denmark to Italy--and its erudition, The Radical Reformation is without peer. Now in paperback format, Williams' magnum opus should be considered for any university-level course on the Reformation.

Synopsis New Directions in the Radical Reformation by :

The eight essays in this volume approach the study of the Radical Reformation from new perspectives and challenge some of the basic assumptions of the field. Some critique and problematize the typologies developed to distinguish Reformation radicals from each other and from the Magisterial Reformers. Others apply an equally iconoclastic approach to existing scholarship on the relationship between religious change and socio-political radicalism in early modern Europe. A final group concentrate specifically on revising the history of Anabaptism by tracing its long-term development across the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and recovering the lives of normal Anabaptists to write a true social history of the movement that avoids relying on the biographies and prescriptive writings of its leadership.
