The Politics of Ritual Kinship: Confraternities and Social Order in Early Modern Italy (Cambridge Studies in Italian History and Culture) Book

Between the twelfth and the eighteenth centuries Italians frequently joined 'confraternities' which made them symbolic brothers and sisters to one another. These kin groups launched extensive charitable programmes, directed civic and religious rituals, and socialised members in class and gender roles. These essays examine how medieval religious and political values shaped early ritual kinship, how sixteenth-century social change and religious reform transformed confraternities, and how these altered groups became key agents in achieving the more rigid social order of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.Read More
