The articles focus on social and cultural history by comparing both discourses and cultural and social practices, as well as examining international networks and cultural transference. How did religious institutes function as cultural elites in the production and mediation of knowledge, ideologies, cultural codes, and practices? What kind of discursive and operational strategies did they use to help construct and propagate social Catholicism, ultramontanism, and confessionalism, and to establish and promote the Catholic communication system? What were the central mechanisms in the production of knowledge and how were they incorporated within identity politics?0The volume also takes a broad perspective on the role of religious institutes in the production and propagation of religious, cultural, and social practices, and in the socialisation of the Catholic population. The focus is on cultural practices, on the transmission and transformation of attitudes, and on the rites and customs in everyday religious and social practices.KADOC studies on religion, culture, and society ;13.CatholicsEuropeIntellectual life20th centuryCatholicsEuropeIntellectual life19th centuryChristian communitiesEuropeHistory20th centuryChristian communitiesEuropeHistory19th centuryChristian communitiesCatholic ChurchHistory19th centuryChristian communitiesCatholic ChurchHistory19th centuryEuropeIntellectual life20th centuryEuropeIntellectual life19th centuryEuropeChurch history20th centuryEuropeChurch history19th centuryCatholicsIntellectual lifeCatholicsIntellectual lifeChristian communitiesHistoryChristian communitiesHistoryChristian communitiesCatholic ChurchHistoryChristian communitiesCatholic ChurchHistory250Metzger Franziska1074065De Maeyer Jan1952-1074066Altermatt Urs1074067MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910159531303321Religious Institutes and Catholic Culture in 19th and 20th Century Europe2571165UNINA
