Conference “Memories of intolerance. Religious violence and hate-speech in nineteenth-century Europe”
Establishing a framework for coexistence between different religions and cultures is one of the most significant challenges facing contemporary societies. Religious violence and discourses of hate have historically hindered the implementation of measures of tolerance and, later, religious freedom. The aim of this conference is to look at how these manifestations of religious intransigence limited the effectiveness of these measures of coexistence. To this end, we will focus on the role played by the memory of intransigence – victims, perpetrators, and processes – in the nineteenth-century debates on the role of religion in public sphere. The discussion will focus on three geographical spaces – Europe, Spain and Aragon – paying special attention to the controversial memory of the first inquisitor of Aragon, Pedro Arbués, perpetrator and victim of religious violence.
