Images and words in exile

Avignon and Italy in the first half of the 14th century (1310-1352)

At the start of the fourteenth century, far-reaching political events rapidly changed the set-up of the Mediterranean basin and together distorted the 'Ordo universalis' through which the material and symbolic space of 'Christianitas' had, for centuries, been understood.

While the 'topos' of the Avignon papacy, or "Babylonian Captivity", progressively took hold and Rome was increasingly portrayed as the new abandoned Jerusalem, the court of Avignon offered the opportunity for a political, cultural and artistic experimentation. The increasing use of the political tool of banishment, the proliferation of accusations of heresy, the bitterly contested 'quaestio de paupertate' and, from a mystic-theological perspective, the 'quaestio de visione beatifica', are ones of the ways in which the new Christianity attempted, on different scales, to redefine its identity though exclusion practices.

On a different level, self-exclusion, pursued or accepted, is a rediscovered path for self-affirmation. We need only think about, to give two examples, the new forms of eremitism and Dante's 'Commedia', according to some the first modern work of the 'Exilliteratur' for the role accorded to the state of exile in constructing the figure of its author.

Exile, a mental image that has always been linked to the period of Avignon papacy, is the lens through which this interdisciplinary Conference aims to interpret the first half of the 14th century, from Henry VII's imperial expedition which came to an unexpected end with his death at the gate of Siena, the moment when the irreversible nature of the Papal Curia's transfer to France (1309-1313) became clear, up until the end of the papacy of Clement VI (1352).
