CONGRESS CANCELED Centers, Peripheries, and Networks of Reform in the Fifteenth Century
Description
This session analyzes reformist ideas and voices as they took shape in the fifteenth century, with an emphasis on the transnational contours of these movements. Calls for reform by the Wycliffites and Hussites spread side by side with those in more familiar mendicant, monastic, or university contexts. This session considers how reform movements or programs were inflected by these networks that traversed political and institutional boundaries. Papers may address the place of universities, the reception of specific intellectuals, patronage networks in the development of reform programs, or variable regional dynamics in reform movements, particularly as they responded to fifteenth-century exigencies.
