Fabrice Flückiger

Dr. Fabrice Flückiger is an Associated Researcher at the Institute of History, University of Bern, Switzerland. His work focuses on religious disputes, the Reformation, and digital humanities methods applied to historical analysis. He specializes in early modern European religious conflicts, particularly in Switzerland, examining how theological debates shaped confessional identities and political structures.

His research integrates interdisciplinary approaches, combining textual analysis with digital tools to map voting patterns during the Reformation and visualize religious topographies. Key projects include studies on the Baden Disputation (1526), the role of sermons in reform movements, and the Atlas Marianus—a 17th-century Marian pilgrimage map.

Flückiger’s publications analyze the mediation of faith through verbal and visual means, exploring how religious truths were contested and codified. He emphasizes the interplay between oral traditions, written sermons, and visual propaganda in shaping religious practices.

His digital humanities work, such as Voting on Faith, demonstrates innovative applications of GIS and data visualization to historical studies. He collaborates internationally on projects like the Atlas Marianus edition and has contributed to debates on early modern religious conflict resolution strategies.
