Friday 3 May @ 6pm AEST / 5pm JST / 9am BST. A/Prof. Asami Kobayashi (Shujitsu University) “Integrative Violence Through Examples Of Heresy Combat” on zoom. All welcome. Email us for the link!

Abstract: The use of violence aims to attack individuals or groups, causing physical, emotional or psychological harm. This violence serves diverse purposes: annihilating, expelling or integrating opponents. Integrative violence was significant in systematically designed heresy combat during the 12th & 13th centuries. It initially sought to persuade heretics to abandon renegade beliefs & adopt the “rightful” faith, however, this evolved over time, from the “violence” of early episcopal sermons, portraying heretical beliefs as detrimental, to violence with fire & sword, leading to bloodshed, as seen in the Albigensian Crusade. Following this bloody step, the Church turned to mendicant orders like the Dominicans and Franciscans. Dominicans became synonymous with inquisitors, known for causing bloodshed. My presentation aims to elucidate this transformation in applying violent integration measures. Fri 3 May @ 6pm AEST. Email cmrs-postgraduatecommittee@monash.edu for zoom link

For our next seminar we join the team at TUCEMEMS, feat. Dr Anna-Stina Hägglund on 'Female Religious Houses and Remembrance in the Late Medieval Swedish Kingdom (1350-1520)'. Friday 19 Apr @ 17:15 AEST / 10:15 EEST / 8:15 BST. #nuntastic#medievalsky

This project focuses on the connections between female religious and laity in the late medieval Swedish kingdom (which included the area encompassing modern Finland). Remembrance and donations have received significant attention in recent years, and my aim is to explore the culture of donations and remembrance in a region where such studies have been lacking. I wish to delve into the study of female communities and their role in preserving the memory of benefactors and their families, highlighting the crucial link women maintained in caring for the remembrance of their deceased relatives. Anna-Stina Hägglund's research interests centre around Birgittine monasteries in the Baltic Sea region and their interactions with surrounding societies. Currently, she is a member of the research project “Lived Religion in Medieval Finland” at the University of Tampere (2021–2024). Friday 19 April 17:15 AEST (10:15 EEST). For the zoom link email: cmrs-postgraduatecommittee@monash.edu

This Friday; 12 April! Dr Romney Smith (ANU) on "Diplomacy in the Shadows. A lost Christian-Muslim Alliance in the 12th c Mediterranean?" 10am AEST on Zoom. Email us for the link (details in image/alt) #medievalsky

Sometimes historians have to make guesses. This talk uses speculation and circumstantial evidence alongside a close reading of primary sources to explore the possibility of an undocumented military alliance between Pisa in Italy, Denia in Spain, and possibly the Banu Hammad of Algeria. Building on earlier scholarship, it posits that connections formed during the Sardinian War of 1015-16 led to ongoing diplomatic or military links between the principals, aimed at countering the power of the Zirid dynasty of Tunisia and Grenada. This military alliance (if it existed) fell out of Pisan historical consciousness in the twelfth century due to disputes between Pisa and Genoa over the historical justifications for their hegemony in Sardinia. Online via Zoom. Friday 12 April @ 10am AEST. Email: cmrs-postgraduatecommittee@monash.edu to register
