Resumen
Entre el Medioevo tardío y la temprana Modernidad, emerge en los ámbitos germano parlantes el novedoso fenómeno brujeril: una teoría y una praxis represiva inéditas que logran llevar al paroxismo la intervención del diablo en el mundo. No obstante, en época coetánea, teólogos de origen hispano parecen sostener una postura divergente, un discurso demonológico más cauto y moderado. En el presente trabajo, las obras antisupersticiosas de Lope de Barrientos y el Formicarius de Johannes Nider son analizados como punto de partida para identificar, atendiendo a sus respectivos ámbitos políticos y culturales, dos posturas divergentes respecto de las revolucionarias representaciones del diablo y, sobre todo, para postular la existencia de dos procesos alternativos de construcción de “otros internos” en la Europa del Cuatrocientos. El caso castellano, en razón de la “cuestión conversa” y de la existencia de ciertas relaciones de poder que han de moldear y habilitar el establecimiento de la Inquisición como dispositivo de dominación político religioso por excelencia, merece ser considerado en su particularidad.
Between the late Middle Ages and the early Modern Age, in Germanspeaking regions, a novel phenomenon of witchcraft emerged: an unprecedented combination of theory and repre ssive practice which took the Devil’s work in the world to its highest point. In the same period, ho wever, Hispanic theologians seemed to hold a different view, a more cautious and moderate de monological theory. Throughout this work, we will analyse the anti-superstitition works wri tten by Lope de Barrientos and The Formicarius, by Johannes Nider, as a starting point to iden tify, bearing in mind their respective political and cultural circles, two opposing views regarding the revolutionary representations of the Devil and, mainly, to assert the existence of two alter na tive processes for the construction of “Christian Others” in 15th. Century Europe. The Castilian case de serves particular consideration in view of the “issue of the New Christians” and the existence of certain power relationships which moulded and paved the way for the establishment of the Inqui sition as the ultimate means for political and religious domination.
