Personal profile

Research interests

My research discusses and unveil aristocratic/secular materialities from Thirteenth Century England, incorporating a range of complimentary yet multidisciplinary approaches, from debates on archaeological data to current works on insular romances and legal treatises. The idea of materiality is expended from personal possessions to landscape and spatial analysis, uncovered in range of early Middle English romances and the Thirteenth Century legal treatise commonly known as Bracton (De Legibus et Consuetudinibus Angliae). The problematics of my research relies mostly on identifying such material things as possessions, taking part in a variety of socio-cultural relations and contexts.

My research interests are mainly, but not exclusively, on aristocratic culture and insular romances from Twelfth and Thirteenth centuries (texts and contexts), medieval discourses on gender and sexuality, power relations, social status, sensitivities, the body and the archaeology of constructed spaces. Manuscript studies are also of great interest!
