Team of DERIVATE Project
DERIVATE is shaped by a team of researchers with different perspectives and areas of expertise, working together on questions of retelling, reception, and literary history.
The project team combines different areas of expertise and approaches in order to explore how texts, narratives, and forms move across periods, languages, and contexts. Together, we examine contemporary retellings alongside medieval practices of derivation, while engaging with broader questions of literary history, transmission, and cultural memory.
