Cartographies of the Iberian nobiliary imaginary: emptiness, movement, coherence

Abstract

In this work, under the express inspiration of the work of Luís Krus, some of the nobiliary "cartographies" that he studied are analysed together with others that are, as a whole, coherent for the Iberian space in the late Middle Ages. On this line of argument and complementary to previous works, the study is articulated around three reflective axes: the intentional relationship between space, time and social actors around the notion of spatial emptiness, the idea of movement that entails the fulfilment of a social function and, finally, the macro-narrative coherence in the representation of certain specifically nobiliary social spaces.
