The aim of the course is to offer students new views on the reformation(s). We will make use of a broad spectrum of interdisciplinary approaches. We will, for example, employ the approaches of transcultural history (history of mobilities, translation history), the perspective of the gift economy, anthropology of the ritual, gender history, food history etc. We will thus explore the early modern reformation as a transformation in the systems of gift exchange, as a revolution in the sphere of ritual and in the print and visual cultures, as a stimulus to expel religious nonconformists and also as a discussion over food practices (of both eating and fasting). We will discuss why the plural noun reformations is preferred and what does the current research of global reformations look like (N. Terpstra).
