Накратко на български

Католическите социални реформаторки във Франция, Германия и Полша (1878–1914) са използвали ежедневни навици и практики, за да създадат нов модел на благочестива жена. Това помага да се разбере как религиозните жени са успяли да участват в обществения живот през този период.

Roman Catholic laywomen’s “turn to habit” as a strategy of developing modern pious womanhood: Catholic female social reformers in France, Germany and Partitioned Poland between 1878-1914.

The project “Habit” was conducted under the supervision of Professor Laura Lee Downs in the Department of History and Civilisation at the European University Institute. The research had a twofold scientific objective: explaining the role of habitual mental and bodily practices in the attempts of late nineteenth century Catholic female social reformers to develop modern pious womanhood; and locating these activists’ interest in habit within a broader contemporary phenomenon of intellectual, scientific, and socio-cultural interest in routinized conducts. The reformers’ “turn to habit” was understood as unfolding transnationally, but the project was designed to pay particular attention to relevant phenomena in the lands of Partitioned Poland, France, and Germany between 1878-1914, concentrating on publications and pedagogical practices of selected renowned activists (e.g. M. d’Adhémar, M. Féraud, E. Gnauck-Kühne, H. Dransfeld, J. Zamoyska, C. Plater-Zyberk, M. Fletcher). The research was to demonstrate how, through their engagement with the concept of routinised behaviour, Catholic female reformers sought to facilitate devout women’s participation in a wide range of modern processes in a period in which many argued for the incompatibility of both the female sex and religion with the public sphere. The project is in dialogue with contemporary debates on the role of religious movements, leaders and claims in the European Union as it demonstrates that conflicts over the role of pious individuals and communities in modern politics have long been a salient part of European political traditions.

Цел на проекта

The project’s objective is to explain the meaning of habitual mental and bodily practices for the nineteenth century Catholic laywomen’s program of developing modern pious womanhood and further interprets those women’s interest in habit as part of the broader contemporary religious, intellectual, and socio-cultural inquisitiveness in routinized actions. The research employs a transnational approach privileging individuals, networks, and debates in France, Germany and Partitioned Poland between 1878-1914. The Catholic laywomen’s focus on habit will be retrieved through analyses of their pedagogical writings and educational models and subsequently confronted with contemporary conceptualizations of habitual action as found in the epoch-making theological, philosophical and scientific theories and selected social practices. It is argued that in a context in which women could formally engage with theology, philosophy and science in very limited ways those lay activists’ religious or pedagogical writings and educational practices were distinctive ways of participating in major contemporary disquiets over the limits of human agency and plasticity of human behavior. With their interventions in the concept of habit those Catholic laywomen joined the nineteenth century efforts of overcoming body-mind, freedom-necessity, and spirit-matter dualisms. The research adds to the field of women’s history by proposing new motives and periodization of the nineteenth century Catholic laywomen’s activism’s emergence and providing novel interpretations of their actions in a transnational perspective. This multidisciplinary project will expand my competences with insights from several fields of academic inquiry. Marie Curie Fellowship will provide me with triple experience as a researcher, project manager and a science communicator, which will give me confidence in planning, executing and delivering projects independently in the future.
