New perspectives on urban and peri-urban spaces will be presented, with a particular focus on female figures as agents and leaders of these spaces, such as courts and domestic environments, monastic and economic areas. Women engaged in numerous and diverse environmental relationships where they exercised their agency: power (queens, qaids, urban and rural elites); diplomacy (Western, Byzantine and Islamic interrelations); economy (commercial activities, collective use of communal lands or water); culture and religion (artistic patronage, evergetism, female leadership in public and private settings or circumscribed to the monastic sphere). This historical and anthropological prism will therefore offer new insights on the role of women as agents in these spaces and on their leadership in the relations and the dynamics linked to this role, generating new contributions to the studies on women’s history.
Mattia C. Chiriatti is graduated in Classical Philology at the Università di Lecce, as well as in the Classics and History and holds a PhD in Ancient History from the Universitat de Barcelona. He is currently teaching as lecturer in Ancient History at the Universidad de Granada.
Carmen Trillo San José is Professor in Medieval History at the Universidad de Granada. Her research is focused on the social organization of space in the Kingdom of Granada, from the Islamic rule to the Christian power.
