Social History of Power Since the Middle Ages

The historical study of the interaction between society, gender, power, culture and heritage - with a special regard towards Galicia -, by different approaches, highlighting the participation of digital technologies and computational processes in a bidirectional analysis of the historical and humanistic knowledge. The investigations are centred mainly in three areas: the historical analysis of different structures of kinship and relations of power, by using genealogical reconstructions, prosopographical analysis, the study of the institutions of the Crown, their heritage and the edition of diplomatic, epigraphical and heraldical sources; the study of pilgrimages, especially the Jacobean phenomenon and in the Way of Saint James, as well as their relation with the territory, landscape, material heritage and tourism; the study and evolution of computational models used in the exploration in different sources, contexts and/or problems created by the research in History.
