Introduction
My research fields are related to medieval history and medieval spirituality, especially from the 14th-15th centuries; the history of medieval art, with an emphasis on the study of illuminated manuscripts and books of hours; and history of colonial art, especially iconography in mural painting during the 18th century. In these fields I am specially interested in the relation between images, memory and identity.

Por una parte, el programa pictórico posibilita, como en ninguna otra iglesia del sur andino, transmitir todas las dim...

During the second half of eighteenth-century, the walls of many churches, located on the royal roads between Potosí and Arica, were covered with mural paintings. This proliferation of pictorial programs could be linked to the discussion at the Synod of la Plata in 1771-1773. In some chapters of this Synod there are explicit references to Pope Bened...

Les chercheurs en sciences humaines et sociales s'interrogent depuis une vingtaine d'années sur leurs disciplines et leurs pratiques. L'histoire médiévale n'échappe pas à ce phénomène, même si, contrairement à l'Allemagne, l'historiographie française a davantage produit des bilans qu'une réelle réflexion sur les institutions, les acteurs de la rech...
Article
Alors que la médiévistique se place de plus en plus à l'aune de l'échelle européenne et que l'on admet, mais non sans quelque résistance, que la discipline puisse occuper des chercheurs occidentaux (ceux du Nord, sur les deux côtés de l'Atlantique d'après le sens commun des hiérarchies géopolitiques contemporaines), la découverte de l'existence des...
