Studies on local communities in a global framework

Abstract

In the face of the re-emergence –despite their obsolescence–of some traditional medievalist historiographical discourses focused on mythological elements that legitimise nation states, certain lines of research developed in recent decades can be oriented as alternative scientific narratives that, from the vindication of local culture studied from medieval or other historical roots, reclaim political power for the communities of said territories. In this regard, our research group has carried out various research projects that consider the most current trends, as well as sharing the research results in experiences of knowledge transfer with these current communities.
