In week 1 (at 4PM on Wednesday 27 September), we are delighted to welcome Dr Suzanna Ivani\u010d, a new lecturer in Early Modern History here at the University of Kent.<\/p>\n

The title of her paper is Locating Religion in the Homes of Seventeenth-Century Prague Burghers.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A recent focus on religion in the home has provided fertile new evidence about lived religion \u2013 the beliefs, practices and identities of the faithful in an everyday context \u2013 but, what if we interrogate the relationship between the home and religion more thoroughly? How does religion change as it crosses the threshold? Is \u2018domestic devotion\u2019 really more unorthodox and individualistic? What do we mean by \u2018domesticating\u2019 religion? It is now well-established that not only Protestants, but also Catholics, practised religion in their homes in early modern Europe. By analysing inventories and objects from the multiconfessional setting of Prague across the seventeenth century, this paper explores the differences in domestic religious practice between confessions, how domestic space enabled unique aspects of devotion (\u2018private\u2019 forms or particular rituals focusing on doors and beds, for example), and how objects that came into the home could either subvert or reinforce orthodoxy and orthopraxy within this extra-ecclesiastical space.<\/p>\n

As ever, a drinks reception will follow this seminar. Please see the attached poster for more information.<\/p>\n
