The Silk Industries of Medieval Paris: Artisanal Migration, Technological Innovation, and Gendered Experience
Medieval Paris and the Mediterranean: The Evidence from the Silk Industry
By the last decades of the thirteenth century Paris had a luxury silk cloth industry. Because the demands of weaving silk were considerably different from those of working with wool and linen, the introduction of silk weaving was usually accompanied by the immigration of silk weavers and entrepreneurs. Sources suggest that such immigrants did indeed make a contribution to the nascent silk industry of Paris: the mercers of Paris, who managed silk …
La Zisa / Gloriette: Cultural Interaction and the Architecture of Repose in Medieval Sicily, France and Britain
Recent scholarship has called attention to the common features shared by five French and British elite centres of leisure called ‘gloriette’ that were built or so-named in the late 13th and early 14th centuries. Because these centres of repose and entertainment were located in principal residences, and thus were not garden pavilions, it has been suggested that there was no relationship between the northern gloriettes and the garden pavilion of La…
Aristocratic Power and the “Natural” Landscape: The Garden Park at Hesdin, ca. 1291–1302
In 1292, at the age of forty-two, Count Robert II of Artois returned to his county in northern France after spending much of his adult life advancing the interests of members of his family—the French royal family—in North Africa, northern Spain, and southern Italy. After he relocated to France, Robert's employees and household familiars included nine men from southern Italy and Sicily, three from northern Italy and five from northern Iberia. With…
Gender and Difference in the Middle Ages

Monks and Nuns, Saints and Outcasts: Religion in Medieval Society
La voix des femmes. Une réception américaine
Le projet de Georges Duby sur l'histoire des femmes au Moyen Âge repose dans une large mesure sur l'anthropologie structurale de Claude Lévi Strauss et le marxisme structuraliste de Louis Althusser : les femmes de l'aristocratie médiévale, selon Duby, étaient des gages dans un système de parenté contrôlé par et pour les hommes ; elles formaient leurs subjectivités propres à partir de l'idéologie dominante que façonnaient les hommes.

Joan of Arc: Heretic, Mystic, Shaman
This study reveals Joan of Arc as a mystic who heard what the church would not approve. It focuses on aspects of her behaviour and her social environment that enabled her, as both a woman and an illiterate peasant, to act autonomously and acquire power.
