Abstract
El presente trabajo de investigación doctoral consiste en un análisis transdisciplinar de las particularidades del cristianismo medieval entre los siglos XI-XIII. Se estudia concretamente el proceso y las condiciones de formación del gobierno pastoral juridizado de la Iglesia romana y las resistencias que ello suscitó en el campo medieval de la economía de salvación cristiana. El análisis se lleva a cabo desde una perspectiva que aúna la narrativa histórica con la reflexión conceptual. Se trata de un intento de trasgredir algunas de las tradicionales fronteras disciplinares entre Historia y Filosofía, combinando preguntas de investigación y modos de aproximarse al objeto propio de ambas. Con tal propósito, además de aunar narrativa histórica y reflexión conceptual, el análisis se afronta desde diferentes escalas y planos intelectivos. El trabajo comienza ofreciendo un marco amplio de la época medieval, sigue con la escala europea de la formación de la Cristiandad latina, continúa ajustando el enfoque al estudio de caso de una región periférica y termina en un plano más teórico/conceptual con un diálogo con la analítica del poder de Michel Foucault. Este análisis se plantea con el propósito de dar sentido a determinados problemas históricos y respuesta a preguntas razonadas sobre el devenir de las formas políticas de Occidente. Desde una perspectiva amplia, se ha tratado de entender cómo dentro del campo religioso del cristianismo se conformó un gobierno pastoral altamente mundanizado durante el período plenomedieval. La cuestión histórica que se aborda se refiere al hecho de que la organización institucional del oficio sacerdotal de la religión de salvación cristiana desplegase prácticas y dispositivos de poder cuya finalidad excedía la mera cura pastoral -tales como la guerra con el infiel y el hereje o la incriminación judicial de la conducta religiosa disidente- al mismo tiempo que profundizaba la administración sacramental –o dirección de almas- entre los siglos IX y XIII. Desde un punto de vista genealógico, este fenómeno del cristianismo medieval nos confronta con la pregunta por el devenir de las esferas religiosa y política en la historia de Occidente...
This doctoral research investigation consists of a trans-disciplinary analysis of the peculiarities of mediaeval Christianity between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries. Specifically, it studies the process and the conditions of the creation of the juridised pastoral government of the Roman Church, and the resistance it engendered in the mediaeval field of the economy of Christian salvation. The analysis is made from a viewpoint that unites historical narrative with conceptual reflection. It is an attempt to cross some of the traditional frontiers between the disciplines of History and Philosophy, combining questions of research and ways of approaching the object of study which are appropriate for both. With this in mind, as well as uniting historical narrative and conceptual reflection, the analysis will be addressed from different intellectual levels and stages. It begins by offering a broad outline of the mediaeval period, goes on with the European stage of the formation of Latin Christianity, continues by narrowing its focus onto the case study of a peripheric region, and finishes on a more theoretical/conceptual plane with a dialogue with Michel Foucault’s analysis of power. This analysis is presented with the aim of making sense of certain historical problems, and answering reasoned questions about the evolution of Western political systems. From a broad prospective it seeks to understand how, within the religious context of Christianity during the High Middle Ages, an eminently secular pastoral government was formed: it addresses the fact that the institutional organisation of the priestly office of the Christian religion of salvation deployed practices and mechanisms of power whose aims went beyond simple pastoral care, such as war with infidels and heretics, or the legal incrimination of dissident religious conduct, while at the same time intensifying sacramental administration, or management of souls, between the ninth and thirteenth centuries. From a genealogical point of view, this phenomenon of mediaeval Christianity confronts us with the question of the evolution of the religious and political spheres in the history of the West...
