This project has as a point of departure the idea that apocalyptic longings showed, in the Occidental societies of early modern times, an organic character, with roots in convictions and expectations that gave form to those societies.Rooted in three fundamental axes (the existence of an eschatological-apocalyptic language during early modern times; the close connection between apocalyptic…
This research project will seek to investigate how religious languages of apocalyptic bias, disseminated not only in specifically religious publications, but also in texts of political propaganda and diplomatic reports, were used to interpret events of great significance to the early modern European societies, like the wars of religion in France and the Thirty Years War itself. The choice…
The Early Modern period was a time of intense changes in all aspects of society. Perhaps one of the most intriguing phenomena experienced during those years was the great persecution of witches, and all kinds of superstitions, which took place in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. During this period, major religious reforms were taking place and the way in which each individual shoul…
The goal of this investigation will be to study the relation of Marie de Gournay with the querelle des femmes, based on the treatise Egalité des hommes et des femmes, written by Gournay and published for the first time in 1622.

Even though he is the author of about 28% of the articles of Diderot and D'Alembert's Encyclopédie, historians have shown relatively little interest on his figure. This situation aroused our interest in the subject, but simultaneously co…

My main research in Brazil works with two different types of primary sources - King James VI's demonological treatise, the Demonology, and Aberdeen witchcraft trials; both produced in 1597. While the first is necessary for the comprehension of the cultural-linguistic sphere; the latter cast light into the world of everyday life experiences and jurisdictions, which we summarize under the c…
The religious experience that arises in the sixteenth century Spain was surrounded by the desire for a more individualized communion with God, putting at risk the various intermediations between the divinity and the faithful. In what was the time of the Protestant Reforms, the Inquisition did not go to great lengths to establish the specificities of Catholicism in the face of insurgent re…
