European Network on the Instruments of Devotion – ENID
Language: English
ENID is an international research network coordinated from the University of Bergen, Norway. ENID focuses on the instrumentality of Christian piety and devotional practices, from 14^th century ‘Devotio Moderna’ to Vatican II in the 20^th century.
The research of ENID is concerned with the instrumental aspects of Christian piety and devotional practices, from the 14^th to the 20^th century.
Though piety, ‘pietas’ or ‘devotio’, is the main focus, what especially interests the research within ENID is how it was practiced, the ‘praxis pietatis’, and what instruments were used to shape, intensify and express both individual and collective piety: books, pictures, devotional objects, music, liturgies and actions. Through the interchange of ideas, sharing of knowledge and critical discourse, the cross disciplinary research of ENID aims at gaining a deeper insight into the mechanisms of piety and devotion, in order to understand the phenomena and their instruments as essential features in the religious and cultural development of Europe.
