A “global” history of the post-conciliar period that may avoid both the assumption of a Eurocentric perspective and a “Roman” chronological approach needs a large scope of papers that includes the analysis of theological elaboration on Vatican II, a collection of individual and generational expectations, and an investigation into the tensions between the Roman center of the doctrinal elaboration of Vatican II and the calls for modernization of socio-economic structures awaked by the Council.Scholars are invited to submit before January 26 papers for the following sections:Sources for a history of the post-Vatican II: archives, printed sources and literature produced by dicasteries, bodies and institutions that had the task to implement Vatican II;The disagreement and battles over doctrinal and canonical issues left unsolved by Vatican II: nuclear weapons, synodality, contraception/birth control, celibacy, the reform of Roman Curia;The publication history of theological journals and their role in the public debate on the legacy and hermeneutic of the Council;Theological and pastoral movements stimulated by Vatican II (liberation theology, theology of religions, ecumenical theology, gender theology, post-colonial theology, ) and the Roman attempts to combat the dissemination of their controversial strands.Session 1Chair: Silvia Scatena (Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia / FSCIRE) Speakers:Samuele Adorno (FSCIRE), How did the Majority split?
