Descripción del proyecto
Emociones, género y autoridad en la curia del papa Inocencio III (1198-1216)
El papa Inocencio III suele considerarse el papa más poderoso de la Edad Media, que sirvió desde 1198 hasta 1216, un período de crisis y renovación en la Iglesia latina. El proyecto PapalEmotions, financiado con fondos europeos, estudiará cómo el papa Inocencio III y su curia utilizaron las emociones para comunicar la autoridad papal y de qué forma esto ha conformado las ideas contemporáneas sobre el género. El proyecto investigará la retórica emocional en las cartas papales, sermones y contenidos biográficos producidos por la curia con especial atención en las expresiones de pena, rabia e imaginería pastoral emotiva. PapalEmotions tiene como objetivo desarrollar un nuevo marco para utilizar el discurso emocional a fin de comprender la autoridad hegemónica masculina.
Objetivo
By the end of the twelfth century, the papacy had become one of the most influential institutions in Latin Christendom. Using ideas and approaches from gender studies and the history of emotions, this interdisciplinary project investigates how the pope and his curia used emotions to communicate papal authority, and how this was shaped by contemporary ideas about gender. It focuses on the pontificate of Innocent III (1198-1216), which was a period of both crisis and renewal within the Latin Church. Scholars of clerical masculinity have fruitfully analysed depictions of emotional expression in central-medieval episcopal texts to determine how clerical authors used emotional signification to convey an exclusively male authority. Few studies, however, exist on papal emotions, and scholars have not examined the role played by gender in the ways in which central-medieval popes conveyed their authority. The project makes use of a variety of sources including papal letters, sermons, and biographies. These documents are rich with gendered emotional coding, and I focus on how expressions of sorrow, anger, and emotive pastoral imagery were used in instances when the pope faced challenges to his authority. I argue that examining expressions of emotion sheds light on how the papal curia’s rhetorical manipulation and use of discourses of masculinity influenced the way in which it communicated papal authority. In doing so, I provide an innovative framework for the use of emotional discourse to understand masculine hegemonic authority. This project will be developed at CGS Aalborg (host) and IAHR Vienna (secondment) to allow me to collaborate with outstanding researchers in the history of papal communication at these institutions, ensuring that my project is at the cutting edge of research and will develop my career. The results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed open access articles, a popular history magazine article, a podcast, and workshops for high-school pupils.
