El lujo cambiante. El vestido y la difusión de las modas en la Corona de Aragón (siglos XIII-XV)
2015
La apariencia física de las persona era ya en la Baja Edad Media el primer indicativo de su condición social, pero en un período mucho más urbanizado e interconectado que los anteriores, el refinamiento de la indumentaria se convirtió en un hecho con unas connotaciones económicas, políticas y culturales de gran calado. El mismo incremento de la movilidad social llevó además a que no bastara con invertir grandes sumas en la propia imagen, sino que fuera necesario estar atento a los cambios de eso que llamamos “moda”, cuyos orígenes se suelen situar en estos momentos en los que las clases dominantes tradicionales buscaban nuevos elementos de diferenciación frente a los advenedizos.

L’estètica emocional de la transformació: una revisitació barroca de la Faula d’Apol·lo i Dafne
2021
The well-known Sonnet XIII by Garcilaso de la Vega «A Dafne ya los brazos le crecían» was to establish the disconsolate figure of Apollo, pining for the loss of Daphne, as the literary paradigm of the pangs of love —at least in Renaissance literature in the Iberian peninsula.
