Identity-Construction, leadership and the uses of history in the narratives about the beginnings of the Cathars (12th-13th century)

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Several texts from the 12th-13th century depict the beginnings of various dissident groups labeled Cathar. These narratives have been studied mostly as either historical facts or polemical fictions. In this paper, I try to overcome this sharp division and interpret these texts as foundation narratives resulting from negotiation (between the polemists and the dissidents, between different views in dissident groups). I focus on the process of identity-construction, on the formation of leadership and on the uses of history in the accounts of the beginnings of the Cathars and show how historical narratives serve polemists, but also dissidents themselves, as a tool for defining the identity of a new religious movement in the Christian Middle Ages, as well as the authority in the making of its leaders.
