| Abstract | The sessions aim at presenting the first results of the collaborative project 'New Communities of Interpretation: Contexts, Strategies and Processes of Religious Transformation in Late Medieval and Early Modern Europe' (COST Action 1S 1301). Challenging stereotypical descriptions of exclusions of lay and non-Latinate people from religious and cultural life, the project concentrates on the reconstruction of the process of religious emancipation of the laity and the creation of 'new communities of interpretations' alongside the traditional 'respublica clericorum'. The sessions will investigate several aspects of this fundamental moment and complex turning point in European and social history. |
