Quelle place pour les masculinités dans la spiritualité béguinale ? Penser les béguins au regard des études de genre by Claire Donnat-Aracil

“…By successively analyzing sermons intended for Beguine communities, pious poetry directly from these communities, and an epideictic text firmly opposed to them, this article aims, on the one hand, to highlight the possibility of a masculine reading of this spirituality, and to show, on the other hand, that the gender stereotypes conveyed by certain clerics in the 13th century have contributed, from the Middle Ages to the present day, to rendering invisible the possible presence of men within Beguine communities.…”
