Caesarea, Gregory of Nyssa, Gregory of Nazianzus, and Eunomius of Cyzicus were influential participants in intense arguments over doctrinal orthodoxy and heresy. In his discussion of these prominent churchmen Raymond Van Dam explores the new options that theological controversies now made available for enhancing personal prestige and acquiring wider reputations throughout the Greek East.Ancient Christianity was more than theology, liturgical practices, moral strictures, or ascetic lifestyles. The coming of Christianity offered families and communities in Cappadocia and Pontus a history built on biblical and ecclesiastical traditions, a history that justified distinctive lifestyles, legitimated the prominence of bishops and clerics, and replaced older myths. Christianity presented a common language of biblical stories and legends about martyrs that allowed educated bishops to communicate with ordinary believers. It provided convincing autobiographies through which people could make sense of the vicissitudes of their lives.The transformation of Roman Cappadocia was a paradigm of the disruptive consequences that accompanied conversion to Christianity in the ancient world. Through vivid accounts of Cappadocians as preachers, theologians, and historians, Becoming Christian highlights the social and cultural repercussions of the formation of new orthodoxies in theology, history, language, and personal identity. |

control parties need to win elections, and winning elections requires assembling an electoral coalition that is larger than that crafted by the opposition. Uncertainty rules and intra-party conflict rages as different factions and groups within the parties debate the proper course(s) of action and battle it out for control of the party. Parties can never be sure how their strategic maneuvers will play out, and, even when it appears that a certain strategy has been successful, party leaders are unclear about how long apparent success will last. Change unfolds slowly, in fits and starts. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Cet ouvrage est consacré aux souveraines et aux aristocrates de l’Orient méditerranéen à l’époque médiévale. Il s’inscrit dans les recherches actuelles sur l’étude des femmes comme « genre ». La symbolique chrétienne se fonde sur l’iconographie des églises où sont représentées comme modèles les saintes souveraines et martyres des premiers siècles alors que l’historiographie témoigne d’impératrices confrontées au pouvoir, usant de leur beauté et d’artifices, telle Théophano au Xe siècle soupçonnée du meurtre de ses deux premiers époux. On pénètre jusqu’au fond du gynécée là où s’ourdissent les complots, où rivalisent la reine mère et sa belle-fille, là aussi où s’éduquent les enfants impériaux pour lesquels leur mère est appelée à la régence lors de la mort de son époux. Certaines impératrices ont une renommée supérieure à d’autres, telle Zoé représentée sur les mosaïques de Sainte-Sophie à laquelle le peuple de Constantinople voue une réelle ferveur en lui pardonnant ses frasques sexuelles et ses divertissements de magicienne. D’autres impératrices viennent de l’étranger, de Savoie ou de Serbie et elles savent s’imposer dans l’échiquier géopolitique troublé des XIVe et XVe siècles, parfois jusqu’à causer des guerres civiles, toujours en protectrices et conseillères de leurs fils. Léguer l’impérium, voilà qui est étranger aux épouses et filles de souverains ottomans qui n’hésitent pas à contracter des mariages avec des princesses byzantines. Toute l’aristocratie féminine gravite autour de la cour, les princesses rivalisent de piété et de générosité, qu’elles soient byzantines, arméniennes ou timourides, mais aussi de faste. Fortunées, mécènes dans le domaine artistique et religieux, fondatrices, commanditaires de reliquaires et de manuscrits enluminés…la liste de ces dames de la haute société couvre l’Europe, l’Asie occidentale et centrale… |
