Medieval Mediterranean Women
Project summary
Power of gender, gender of power: women, queenship and
historiographical discourse in Mediterranean geographies
(CEECIND/00220/2017) aims at identifying,studying, and
divulging - through an online database, articles and media
- the origins, developments and transmission of
narratives, formulas and references to female power in
historiography and charters written between the 10th and
the 14th centuries. It will focus on the comparative study
of texts produced in two Mediterranean regions: the Iberian Peninsula and the lands of Western Islam.
A comparative approach to distinct but close cultural and literary traditions will serve as the base to rethink typologies of the power of women that go beyond the concept of "queenship".
