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.
