Current Research

I am currently working on a project that examines the language and gestures characteristic of honor-related crimes and gendered violence in pre-Revolutionary France. My documentary base derives from the criminal court records of a lower-level royal court, the Sénéchaussée of Sarlat, located in southwestern France (Périgord). The study is an extension and elaboration of my previous work on the functioning of royal justice and its gradual acceptance by a growing “legal community” of professional and commercial bourgeois who were more inclined to have recourse to official litigation to govern their interpersonal relations.
