My interests lay on complexity in cultural systems. I approach this problem from several places (Humanism, Golden Age Drama, the Literary Act, the Baroque), and in most cases I use the Early Modern period of transatlantic relations in the Spanish world as the lab to trace the emergence of complexity in our world. I also work (although with less intensity) on present forms of cultural adaptation to complexity through the literary act.
Methodologically, my work follows the principles of team-work, intensive research (both in the elaboration and creation of knowledge), use of information technology, and a clear concern to make of our research a tool to better our lives today. If the lab is, mainly, in the past, the aim is clearly on the present.
