On the one hand\, it saw a sudden surge in academic works and univer sities in Western and Southern Europe that sought to bridge the worlds pre viously thought entirely incommensurable and usher in an age of scholastic ism that would eventually lead to the fourteenth- to seventeenth-century R enaissance. For this reason\, it has been a staple of mediaevalist scholar ship to describe those thorough-going changes as the ‘renaissance of the t welfth century’. On the other hand\, the same century also reads as a stri king catalogue of most violent acts and disasters: from the rise of inquis ition and merciless Christian infighting\, over the first expulsions of Je ws and the intensification of the Reconquista on Muslim Spain to the blood and gore of the Second\, Third and German Crusades. Might it not be more appropriate\, then\, to characterise this period as an age of profound cri sis\, in which the true contours of a ‘persecuting society’ were drawn?\n \nThis talk seeks to make a modest contribution to that debate\, by guidin g the audience’s attention to a tell-tale public aspect of high mediaeval life—that of sexual and gender diversity—and by expanding the view over th e twelfth century so as to include the affairs in the Great Seljuk Empire (1037–1194)\, a vast Turko-Persianate Sunnī Muslim state that originated i n Anatolia\, but quickly came to rule over much of the then Islamicate wor ld.\n\nThe talk considers\, in particular\, an unlikely rise of neo-Roman European civil law and Seljuk proto-civil legality and its formidable effe ct on two paradigmatic twelfth-century intellectual debates on the public\ , legal and theological standing of ‘sodomy’ (peccatum sodomiticum\, liwāṭ ): one in amongst prominent Benedictines and the other between the leading Ḥanafī scholars. It is argued that these debates\, led in the distinct sp irit of concordia discors (discordant harmony) or ikhtilāf (permissible sc holarly disagreement)\, are indispensable for our understanding of legal a nd social aspects of sexual and gender diversity in the twelfth century an d\, in turn\, the way in which certain rapturous pluralities were continue d and ruptured—concomitantly.\n\nLe conférencier\n\n[En anglais seulement] Dr Vanja Hamzić is a Senior Lecturer in Legal History and Legal Anthropol ogy at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS)\, University of L ondon\, an Academic Fellow of the Honourable Society of the Inner Temple a nd a former Member of the School of Social Science in the Institute for Ad vanced Study at Princeton. His main body of work interrogates historical a nd present-day formations of gender and sexual diversity in various Islami cate societies of South Asia\, Southeast Asia and West Africa. His publish ed books include Control and Sexuality: The Revival of Zinā Laws in Muslim Contexts (2010\; with Ziba Mir-Hosseini) and Sexual and Gender Diversity in the Muslim World: History\, Law and Vernacular Knowledge (2016).\n\nLes Ateliers de droit civil\n\nEn vue de promouvoir la réflexion fondamentale en droit privé\, le Centre a instauré la série des Ateliers de droit civi l\, qui permet de regrouper des juristes québécois et étrangers autour de thèmes de recherche communs. Dédiés à l’étude d’un thème de recherche tran sversal\, les Ateliers de droit civil contribuent ainsi à enrichir et à st imuler la recherche fondamentale en droit privé.\n\nLe cycle 2016-2018 des Ateliers de droit civil\, présenté par le Centre Paul-André Crépeau de dr oit privé et comparé\, se déroule sur le thème « Le public en droit privé  ».\n\nLa série des Ateliers de droit civil compte sur l’appui financier du Fonds d’appui à l’accès à la justice dans les deux langues officielles.\n \nAucune inscription préalable n’est requise.
