Eveline G Bouwers
Originally from the Netherlands, I am head of the Emmy Noether research group 'Battles over Belief: Religion and Violence in Catholic Europe, 1848-1914', which is based at the Leibniz Institute of European History in Mainz (DE) and funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). It investigates the relationship between violence/iconoclasm and public religion in modern Europe, for which it looks at different geographical areas and religious-political constellations. My own project looks at local responses – in word, image and deed – to conflicts over public religion in the regions of Bavaria, Brittany and Flanders.
I studied history, art history and political science at the universities of Utrecht (NL), Leuven (BE) and Amsterdam (NL). In 2009, I received a doctorate from the European University Institute, Florence (I); my dissertation concentrated on political iconography and remembrance cultures in Revolutionary Europe, more especially on the creation and reception of public pantheons in London, Paris, Rome and Regensburg. Having first done a post-doc at Bielefeld University (DE), I became a research fellow at IEG Mainz (currently on leave) and then head of the aforementioned Emmy Noether research group. Additionally, I've been a visiting scholar at the universities of York (UK), Harvard (USA) and Leuven. Other research interests include the history of blasphemy and its repercussions on present-day legal, political and philosophical debates.
